Mr. Speaker, 2.8 million Canadians are dependent on welfare today. Hopefully that is not the minister's definition of a golden age.
Today in Canada we have seen take home pay plummet since the government came to power by $3,000 for a family of four. We have seen an increase in personal bankruptcies and in personal debts. Is that the finance minister's definition of a golden age, 2.8 million people on welfare?
