Tax Break for All Canadians ActGovernment Orders

Mr. Speaker, I heard the member talk about supporting communities. The NDP proposed giving a tax break permanently on essential items.
Why did the Liberals not choose to give a permanent tax break to communities that are desperate for help, and why did they leave out home heating?
Francesco Sorbara Vaughan—Woodbridge, ON
Liberal
Mr. Speaker, I would like to answer these questions from the hon. member for Vancouver East because I was born and raised in British Columbia. At the time, the member of Parliament who represented me, who is no longer with us in this world, was Jim Fulton and I had a great degree of respect for him.
If any party has an idea at any time to reduce the burden of taxes on any Canadian, I, as a member of Parliament, am always open to hearing about it and receiving it.
