Mr. Speaker, Canada continues to struggle with helping its most vulnerable citizens.
The Dignity for All campaign estimates that there are 4.8 million Canadians who cannot make ends meet and 250,000 homeless Canadians while shelters are bursting at the seams. Instead of tackling poverty, the government is spending $2 billion every year on income splitting so that the wealthiest can get thousands in tax breaks.
Will the Conservatives abandon their reckless income-splitting plan and instead invest in fighting poverty?
