Mr. Speaker, it shows how out of touch the Conservatives are with the challenges facing middle-income families when they think that at the end of the year a working middle-income family actually has an extra $20,000 kicking around to put into a TFSA.
The Conservatives are also out of touch in terms of their priorities. They are spending $100,000 per ad during the NHL playoffs. That could create 30 summer jobs for young Canadians. At the same time, the Conservatives are holding back funding for important programs that could actually help create jobs for young Canadians.
When will the government get its priorities straight, and when will it start caring more for struggling, middle-class families?
