So if you want to get rid of regressive taxes why are we talking about raising the GST then?

I think he means substituting one set of regressive tax for another. Increase regressive GST, decrease/abolish some other regressive tax. I guess so the argument can be made that the net tax burden is no more regressive than it was before. Which I can't believe they can really accomplish, because I can't think of a tax more regressive than the GST.
