Mr. Speaker, shame on the minister. He could have had the courtesy to answer the question.
Marie is 56 years old and an active member of her community in Cranbrook, B.C. Her late husband, Kevin, passed away three years ago and left her a pension of $40,000. She continues to live in a house where they raised their grown children. Right now she is busy volunteering her time to ensure that this year's summer festival is the best one ever.
Could the Minister of Finance explain why his budget does nothing for Marie?
