Most of it comes from income taxes. To increase income taxes by tens of billions of dollars would threaten the income security of millions of Canadians. We just want to be mindful that the money does come from real human beings who earned it. There's no free money out there.
I noticed you talked a lot about increasing income programs, but I didn't hear you talk a lot about rewarding people for earning income through work. We know that the majority of disabled people want to work. We have statistical data now showing that. We have a million Canadians who are disabled who do work. We have 300,000 Canadians who are severely disabled who work. We know that the best ticket out of poverty for people, whether they are disabled or not, is a job.
Do you agree that all other things being equal, it is preferable for someone to have earned income versus government-administered income?
