CPAC's Leaders' Tour follows the party Leaders as they campaign across Canada leading up to the federal election on January 23, 2006. This episode begins with Conservative Party Leader Stephen Harper announcing in Mississauga, Ont., that if elected, the Conservatives will immediately reduce the GST from 7% to 6%, and will further reduce it to 5% over the next five years. He says that although some will say the government can't afford to cut the GST, he believes the government can't afford not to, and that making the cut is the best way to provide progressive, broad-based tax relief. He takes questions after his announcement. In Montreal, Liberal Party Leader Paul Martin reacts to Harper's announcement. In his view, it is much fairer and more sensible to reduce personal income tax for the middle class rather than cutting the GST, and that is what the Liberals will do. NDP Leader Jack Layton speaks to the media in Oshawa, Ont., and says that Harper has the wrong priorities, and deep tax cuts are not really what Canadians are looking for. They are more concerned with improving health care, reducing the cost of education, protecting the environment, and protecting and expanding jobs in Canada. Cutting the GST will reduce Canada's financial capacity to deal with these issues, and so the basic principle of the Harper's tax cuts doesn't make sense. In Laval, Que., Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe describes ways Canada could make concrete contributions to international aid, including ratifying the International Convention on the minimum age of labour, and meeting its .7% of GDP commitment for international aid funding in the next decade. He takes questions, and suggests that rather than cutting the GST across the board, it would be more beneficial to remove it completely on items such as books. <58mn 30s>
