Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Winnipeg North for raising questions and contributing to the debate.
In fact, the purpose of our measure and the NDP's current campaign is to make life more affordable for Canadians.
Since there is a lot of talk about the middle class, I would like to add that I have the opportunity to meet with a lot of people in my riding. They let me in their homes and talk with me. I would like to address those who do not have a voice, who have a hard time making ends meet and who are looking for a representative who will stand up for their needs and be committed to ensuring that governments are really fighting poverty.
I think the motion before us is a proposal not only to help people make ends meet, but also to fight against poverty.
