Mr. Speaker, it sounds like some people want to be all things to all people.
However, I want to be very clear when I say that the corporate tax breaks that the government is giving away to the big corporations have only gone to profitable corporations. This does not help the guy little down the street running the variety store and it does not put money into the pockets of Canadians.
We can take a look at the bank profits and at the bonuses the banks have been paying their executive boards if we want to see where that money is going.
The reality is that 300,000 seniors are living in poverty. I make no apologies to anybody.
