Mr. Speaker, I enjoyed listening to my hon. colleague speak and have two basic questions for him.
The New Democrats are suggesting raising the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour. If politicians can dictate wages without any regard to the economics, why stop at $15 an hour? Why not $25 or $30 an hour?
The member kept referring that the maximization of the TFSAs would only benefit the rich. My second question is in many ways much more personal.
My grandma is in a nursing home. She is 98 years old, turning 99 this summer. She maximizes her TFSAs every year. Her income, though I am not sure what it is, is under $20,000 a year. Of the people who maximize TFSAs, 60% have an income under $60,000 a year. Why does the hon. member want to raise taxes on grandma who is in a nursing home and who makes less than $20,000 per year?
