Yet this fund will soon have a massive proportion of Canada's total equity pool. The implications are staggering for its impact on the total economic structure of our

Income Tax Conventions Implementation Act, 1997 . The unfairness of that system is gone. Canadians who earn social security in the United States will have that social security come back to Canada and here in Canada they will be taxed at the regular Canadian rates. What it really means is that instead of being overtaxed in the United States

Liberal Party Of Canada they are willing to listen to you. Certainly it has worked for Bombardier. We know that.

It is completely off track because way back when Canadians said-and I think they continue to say it-that they expect the government to provide opportunity. It has failed to do that.

Budget Implementation Act, 1997 in line with the priorities of regular Canadians. As someone who has been to many different provinces this past year I can say that the government simply does not understand the priorities of the Canadian people.

Income Tax Budget Amendments Act, 1996 scratch. The Income Tax Act is absolutely enormous. There are volumes and volumes to it. It does not seem that regular Canadians are able to fill out their income tax returns anymore because it has become so complex. It seems there are so many rules to follow and so many loopholes

Pensions that taxpayer money could buy, a gold plated MP pension plan. Under the plan the Conservative leader would receive $53,000 a year for his 9.9 per cent premium; the Deputy Prime Minister, $49,000 a year. Meanwhile regular Canadians would get $9,000 a year for their 9.9 per cent premium

Taxation Mr. Speaker, $7,000 may not be a lot of money to the millionaires of this world, but it is a lot of money to regular Canadians. Can the finance minister explain to Canadians why one form of child care is worthy of a tax credit while the other is not? Can he explain why his
