Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to the speech given by the Minister of Finance, who seems to be in denial about the successive reports showing that the economic situation is getting worse, particularly when it comes to employment.
CIBC's latest report comes after a recent OECD report indicating that the gap between the rich and poor in Canada keeps growing increasingly fast. That is a concern raised by the OECD.
Also, recently on International Women's Day, it was noted that the wage gaps between men and women are still growing.
Does the minister realize that the measures put forward by the Conservatives are only widening the wage gaps between the rich and poor and between men and women?
