Mr. Speaker, in 2006, the Prime Minister brought in the universal child care benefit for every family in Canada. He brought it in for families with incomes of $20,000. He brought it in for families with incomes of $30,000. He brought it in for families of $40,000. However, the Liberal leader thinks that all of those people are too rich and, as a result, he would raise their taxes.
His plan has a $2 billion hole, which he admits. Economists say that his tax increases do not raise enough money to fund his spending. The only way he can fill his hole is through more high taxes on the middle class.
