Mr. Speaker, one of the things we know on this side of the House is that if we want to make this a fairer Canada, we have to make the gap smaller between the richest and the poorest in our country. That is what we should be working toward. However, what is happening now with the budget, and with what the Conservatives have been doing since 2006, is that they have made that gap wider, meaning poorer families in my riding, just as in the member's riding and right across Canada, are the ones who suffer when the governments increase tariffs and taxes.
In the House of Commons on April 15th, 2013. See this statement in context.
