Mr. Speaker, around the House since the 13th Assembly…. We had initiatives by the

Ministers of Finance back then. We had Mr. Handley do the initiative in regard to a hotel tax. That took a whole process of consultation, public hearings, the whole works. At the end of it all it didn’t even proceed to the House.

Because of the experience we’ve had in the past on these legislative initiatives looking at tax reform, we

should learn from our mistakes and not waste public funds on doing stuff that we know is not going to fly. Already, from the public outcry that we hear….

I’d like to ask the Minister again: would you consider bringing forward those legislative initiatives that have already been worked on in regard to tax initiatives to the Members of this House so we can debate it in this House and also give us an opportunity to see where the support is on this side of the House so that we don’t waste a lot of public funds?
