Mr. Speaker, could my colleague expand on the issue of the middle class? The leader of the Leader Party and the caucus as a whole has put a great deal of emphasis on the importance of the middle class to Canada's economy going forward and the need to give more attention to the middle class.
The government's recent announcement of the income split would in essence assist less than 15% of the population. It would cost $2 billion, and it would be the middle class paying for that commitment. Would she like to provide some comment on that policy announcement?
