[Taxation, December 3rd, 1999]

Mr. Speaker, it is a tribute to the ingenuity of Canadian businesses that in spite of the government's record tax hikes they have managed to create jobs. Most of those jobs have come from Ontario and Alberta which are stimulating growth with tax cuts. One hundred thousand Canadians are off the unemployment lists because they have found jobs in the United States.

Why does the government not give Canadians a tax break so that we can get closer to the 4% unemployment rate south of the border?
