Royal Visit June 21st, 2011
Mr. Speaker, our constitutional monarchy is an important part of Canada's heritage and history, as well as its future.
Last year, we were honoured to host Her Royal Highness, The Queen of Canada.
Would the Minister of Canadian Heritage please tell the House about this summer's tour by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge?
Taxation June 6th, 2011
Mr. Speaker, today is tax freedom day, the day Canadians start working for themselves after paying off all the taxes they owe to all levels of government.
Unlike the tax and spend opposition, we do not believe Canadian families should pay high taxes. That is why since 2006, our government has reduced the overall federal tax burden to its lowest level in 50 years.
In the next phase of Canada's economic action plan, we will build on that record.
Could the Minister of State for Finance please inform the House how much earlier tax freedom day is today compared to where it was before we formed government?
