Just listened to a debate in the House of Commons. Our Prime Minister, Paul Martin, responded to a challenge from the opposition about the fuel tax revenues raked in by the Government. The opposition feels that the record revenues being raked in by the federal government would easily justify a reduction in the gax taxes paid at the pumps to save Canadians money. Our gas prices have risen quickly and our earnings are already heavily taxed; the equilibrium has been disturbed. This makes his point valid, I'm sure, to many Canadians. The Prime Minster, Paul Martin, refused by justifying the revenues that will be returned to the provinces and municipalities. One example that he used for emphasis was to upgrade roads and highways.I couldn't help think how great that'll be to have such great roads that no one can afford to use. That day could conceivably come sooner than we think. :)
