Mr. Speaker, our government has been very clear that we want to work with our colleagues in the House to eliminate poverty.
That is why we have taken the many steps we have to ensure families, and especially children and seniors, are in a much better financial position. That is why we introduced the universal child care benefit. That is why we have lowered the GST, which, by the way, helps the lower income people the most. Certainly people who are not paying taxes would not benefit from tax cuts in the way the GST cuts help them.
We are doing this because we want to eliminate poverty.
