Mr. Speaker, the hon. member knows full well that we reduced EI premiums. We have done so every year.
He also knows that in the last budget the 400,000 people who we took off the tax rolls were the lowest income Canadians. At the same time, the tax cuts that we brought in benefited those earning salaries of less than $50,000. The national child tax benefit brought in by my colleague, the Minister of Human Resources Development, is directed toward poor families with children.
The fact is that the tax cuts we bring in are really dedicated to those who need them most.
