February 10, 1975 (30th Parliament, 1st Session)

Mr. Sinclair Stevens (York-Simcoe):

Mr. Speaker, I wish to add a few words to what I have already said with regard to Bill C-49, with particular reference to the reasoned amendment now before the House which was put by my colleague the hon. member for Northumberland-Dur-ham (Mr. Lawrence). This amendment highlights one of the most important positions that the official opposition is taking concerning the budgetary measures proposed by the Minister of Finance (Mr. Turner). We believe that the
people of Canada are entitled to a further tax reduction of 5 per cent.
