In
the

was
launched
yesterday
in
the
House
of
Commons.
Progressive-Conservative,
CCF
and
Social
Credit
parties
joined
in
criticizing
the
tax-boosting
budget
as
inflationary
and
deploring
Finance
Minister
Abbott's
action
in
raising
the
general
sales
tax
to
ten
percent
from
eight
percent.
As
the
traditional
budget
de
bate
opened,
Progressive-Conservative
and
CCF
parties
intro
duced
their
customary
motions
of
non-confidence,
containing
specific
criticisms.
The
CCF
motion
called
for
limiting
the
new
20
percent
defence
tax
on
incomes
to
single
persons
who
earn
more
than
$1500
a

Under
the
budget,
the
tax
will
apply
to

payments
beginning
July

The
Progressive-Conservatives
thrust
specifically
expressed
regret
at
the
government's
"failure"
to
take
effective
steps
to
"deal
with
profiteering."
Solon
Low,
Social

suggested
the
