Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague opposite just gave a 10-minute speech that amounted to smoke and mirrors.
I came here after the latest election to work for Canadians and give back to the middle class. That is what we said throughout the election campaign.
What I am hearing is speculation. Let us talk about the UCCB. Things were done at the last minute. There was an election campaign, and that is when people came up with solutions. What happens to the UCCB? The government claws that money back six months later at tax time. That is not helping; that is pretending to help.
What we want to do is help people. We want to help nine out of 10 families. What we give back, we give back with no strings attached. Obviously, we cannot come up with a program that will help 100% of the people. We do not want to give money to the rich. They were the first to give $300 to people earning $200,000 or more. We took that money back. We are making them pay more taxes.
I am very proud that we are walking the talk, as they say. That is exactly what we are doing.
I have to wonder what your interests are. Who are you working for? Are you working for yourself, to get elected, or are you working for the people of Canada?
