Mr. Speaker, I think what the Canadian people want the government to do is to lift them out of poverty. I think what the Canadian people want the government to do is to ensure that it can help them put food on their table.
However, by giving corporations another huge tax break, the government is giving to the organizations that are already making billions of dollars in profits, $15.9 billion last year just to the five big banks.
A small percentage of that, $700 million, is all we would need to get every senior in Canada out of poverty. That is what I think Canadians want the government to do.
