I appreciate your opening comment. I do think that the budget was transformational, so thank you for highlighting that. I think that the programs—you referenced housing, dental and pharma—are absolutely critical for so many Canadians. I'm quite proud that we were able to do that work.
You also referenced three other platform programs that were also really significant. The loan forgiveness program really impacts teachers, and I agree that it's disproportionately women, so I think that's a really strong start and support for so many young professionals.
I believe we spoke about mental health supports the last time you were here, and of course the national school food program.
What I'd like you to speak to the committee about is why the equality issue and the equality link with capital gains are so important. I'd like you to speak to the fact that asking a small amount from those who have more in order to allow children to have food in their bellies really speaks to the values that, as Canadians, enable us to work together to ensure that no one is left behind.
