Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member's passion when speaking to an issue, whether it is here or at the immigration committee.
When we talk about the increase in taxes, it is important that we make note of just how much we are talking about, which is hundreds of millions of dollars that will be generated through the 1,300-plus tariffs that will be increased.
Could the member expand on the kind of dollars we are talking about, the fact that it is a direct tax and that the consumers who will be predominantly hurt the most are likely to be the middle class or those who are striving to become part of the middle class?
