The two are mutually exclu- sive, federal Finance Minister Paul Martin told members cf the Whitby Chamber of Commerce on Friday. Despite what people may be hearing in the provincial election campaîgn, it is "impossible» te shrink the deficit while simul- taneously cutting taxes on a lare scale, Martin declared. "I would love te be able te say it's possible, but it's not » he said in a thinly-veiled attc~k on the main plank of the Progressive Conservatives' campaign plat- formn. «You can't on the one band eliminate the deficit and' then engage in massive tax decreases on the other...that's simply not possible.» Without mentioning it specifi- cally, Martin was referring te the Tories' pledge cf a balanoed budget and 30 per cent personal income tax cut if they win the election. The Liberals, for their- part, have promised a balanced budget and five per cent tax eut over five years if they form the government on June 8. «Not one cf the eight provincial governments that have balanced their budgets have engaped in massive tax decreases, said Martin. "As finance minister, I know it can't be dene,» he insisted. Martin's remarks came during a brief foray into Durham Centre riding in support cf Liberal can- didate and Ieng-time friend Allan Furlong.
