Mr. Speaker, that is a mischaracterization of what we have done, because in our very first budget we took 650,000 Canadians completely off the tax rolls. We cut consumer taxes for the lowest income Canadians. Under our tax back guarantee, we will continue to return to Canadians the benefits of paying down the debt. It will be $800 billion in the very next year. By 2011, Canadians will have another $1.4 billion every single year because we are paying down Canada's net debt.
