Mr. Speaker, the member referenced the middle class several times in his speech today, and to some extent I would hope we would be here for all Canadians, not necessarily just one segment. However, given he made that the focus of his speech, I would like to ask the member his thoughts on the recent Parliamentary Budget Officer's report with regard to $30 billion less taxes predominantly going toward low to middle income Canadians, which helps put money in people's jeans, helps our local economies and supports our country.
I would also like to ask the member for his thoughts on the recent report in The New York Times saying that Canada's middle class is doing very well.
I find it interesting that he is talking about things and raising criticisms when our country has never been stronger on so many of these points.
