Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Finance has responded to a formal Order Paper question asking him to define the middle class:
...it is not possible to pin down a specific income range that would capture everyone who is in the middle class. ...Canada has no official statistical measure of what constitutes the middle class.
Now we understand why the Liberals' middle-class tax plan gives an executive earning $200,000 a year $800, while giving a worker earning $45,000 a year nothing, nothing except a carbon tax on gas, home heating, and groceries.
How can the Minister of Finance help the middle class when he openly admits he does not know what it is?
