Mr. Speaker, I want to point out that the hon. member's speech does not reflect the economic reality of all Canadians.
Canadians have been experiencing growing financial instability for a long time now. It is getting worse, not better. She is all sunshine and lollipops, but she needs a reality check. Every day, all Canadians are facing poverty.
They talk about cutting taxes. I am sorry, but when Canada Post doubles postage rates, that is a tax. Implementing P3 programs that people have to pay for is a tax too. Worse still, the Conservatives treat pension funds like a tax, not a savings.
What will happen when people are retired and have to live in poverty? The government will have to raise taxes to pay for the savings that people are not making now.
