With all due respect, Mr. Caron, the entire campaign was centred around the middle-class income tax cut. It was clearly stated in our party's material, with examples based on someone's income, based on how many children they had, how much money they would be saving on these taxes. It was unequivocally clear what the government was going to do.
Liberals were clear what they were going to run on, and this bill is basically fulfilling a campaign promise that we were elected on, a platform to cut taxes for the middle class and to invest in the Canada child benefit. Much of the material throughout the campaign clearly illustrated this.
More importantly, we also pledged that we were going to run deficits to stimulate the economy, which your party was not prepared to do.
