Mr. Speaker, the middle class is losing ground under the Conservatives.
Quebec's manufacturing sector has lost more than 100,000 jobs since the Conservatives came to power. In January and February, manufacturing output stagnated.
However, regardless the economic performance of this or any other industry, the directors of these companies will continue to benefit from a lovely little tax loophole worth about $700 million thanks to their stock options.
Are the Conservatives going to help the middle class and stop giving gifts to their friends?
