If that is what it means to New Democrats, they should be supporting this motion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609614\" data-originallang=\"en\">On the other hand, the bigger issue is that the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> made a promise to Canadians that he would not abolish the income trusts. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609615\" data-originallang=\"en\">Based on the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a>'s word, many Canadians went to the bank and invested their hard-earned money, and he broke his word to Canadians.
