| Description | Under fire from the opposition for not doing enough to stem a weakening economy, the Tories linked large federal surpluses with higher taxes in question period Monday.
After a week off from the House of Commons, the Liberals came back to Parliament attacking the Tories for what they said was "incompetence" in handling the economy.
The Liberals said they had left the incoming Conservative government with a $12-billion surplus and "the strongest economy in the G-8" after the last election.
Opposition Leader Stephane Dion said, "yet in two years they destroyed the framework (left by the Liberals). Was this their plan all along, so they can cut government services?"
Government House Leader Peter Van Loan responded: "(The Liberal Party) likes big surpluses because they like high taxes." |
