Mr. Speaker, let me see if I understand my colleague correctly. She is saying that if there are no consequences for millions of people, then the government does not care and it is not worth the effort. Let those people remain in poverty. Let them earn a minimum wage that does not allow them to pay the rent, go on vacation or buy clothes for their children. It is no big deal.
Ultimately, if she said that this affects only 50 people, I would still want to help them.
Are my arguments really so flawed? I think instead that the Conservatives across the way lack compassion.
