Mr. Chair, what the minister is not saying is that measures such as reducing access to employment insurance harm economic growth and contribute to widening economic inequalities.
Two weeks ago, an OECD report showed that income inequality in Canada was among the worst in developed countries: 12.2% of the current income in Canada goes to the top 1%. Only the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany are worse.
Why is this government ignoring the reality of the growing income inequality?
