I'm not sure I should go first, because I think you've heard what I said. I think the primary things the Conservative government has done in the last two budgets are to allocate $191 billion of surplus in the coming years to tax cuts and $37 billion worth of surplus to debt reduction, and that will do nothing, absolutely nothing, to bring women into greater equality with men, because we need spending; we need public investments. That's what women benefit from. I think I've said my piece on that.
You heard last week that the benefits from tax cuts flow primarily to men. As I said earlier, gender budgeting is, at the very least, a way of showing that you're not getting the perverse results of advantaging those who are already advantaged with more public resources.
I would really welcome any kind of discussion in this committee, where such good work gets done, on how we can utilize surplus revenues. You don't even need to tax people to make things better for people.
