Hon. Lowell Murray: Honourable senators, in view of speculation, apparently well-informed, that at least one of the opposition political parties will make a platform promise to reduce the GST, and in view of
the fact that this hypothesis is being denounced in advance by the government, as one who had the enjoyable responsibility 15 years ago this fall of getting the GST through this chamber, and on behalf of all those senators on both sides, past and present, living or dead, who took part in that exercise, may I ask whether it is at all conceivable that this Liberal government will campai

Cette hypothèse est dénoncée à l'avance par le gouvernement.
