Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance who did indicate in his budget the growing concern about the gap between the haves and have nots in Canada.
As a result of the tax changes he introduced the other day, we find that the president of the Royal Bank received about a $30,000 tax break while hardworking Bob Price in my constituency got a tax break of about 35 cents a day. Holly Olson, a single mom with four children on social assistance, got zero tax relief from this budget.
With these kinds of tax changes, does it not actually expand the gap between the haves and have nots as opposed to reducing it?
