One might just say that we wish these things for all Canadians, rather than to get into this class language, but I'll set that aside for now and take it that the government will not have a definition and wonder how one will measure the progress of prosperity for the middle class without a definition.
You mentioned in your opening remarks the tax cut, which will amount to about $90 per taxpayer. You mentioned in the media that Canadians could buy groceries, send their kids to camp or place their kids in activities, or save for their retirement. Will a Canadian family be able to achieve a secure retirement on $90 a year when they're maybe using that money to buy groceries or send their kids to camp?
That $90 per year is about $1.70 per week.
