The Liberal Party of Canada - Fighting for the wealthy since 2006
I will need a few hours to examine the budget, but so far my favourite quote from Federal Budget 2006 is from interim Liberal Leader Bill Graham. Mssrs. Graham said he would feel "ashamed" if he did not vote against the budget. Why?
"I don't think that the people who have voted for the Liberal Party and asked us to be the custodians of their principles and their ideals, in this House of Parliament, would want us to vote in favour of this budget."
Graham said the budget offers little financial help for upper-income Canadians.
"In terms of taxes, there's little benefit for upper-income Canadians in it," he said. But ultimately, there's going to be tax increases in spite of what the minister is saying for those least able to afford them."
