We said nothing of the sort.</p>\n<p>I remind the hon. member that the Deputy Prime Minister said in the House that the GST was a job killer. We also know the GST harmonized would kill 70,000 jobs in Ontario alone. That is four times as many as the public servants in Ontario are currently striking over.</p>\n<p>It does not matter how many times Liberal members read from the small print in the red book. They can pretend all they want that harmonization was what they told Canadians on the campaign trail, but Canadians know that is not true.</p>\n<p>I ask a simple question which Canadians across the country want answered. Why did you lie?</p>",
