Mr. Speaker, the finance minister talks about his clear-eyed vision for Canada, but what clear-eyed vision for Canada includes 1.3 million children still living in poverty, two million families still living in substandard housing, 800,000 workers who contributed to employment insurance who do not qualify and 16,000 Canadians dying prematurely every year from air pollution?
How can the finance minister brag about his clear-eyed vision, when it is so evident that he is suffering from a severe case of short-sightedness?
