Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I have two very simple questions for him.
The Liberals keep saying that they are working for the middle class and they boast about the upturn in the economy, but there are two things worth mentioning here.
It would seem that if wealth is truly being created, then the distribution of that wealth is not entirely equitable. I am not sure how the Liberals define middle class, but in a riding like mine, where the median salary is roughly $32,000 a year, needless to say that no one will be getting any of the Liberal government's tax cuts.
Why did the Liberals not see fit to help these low income workers and put in place a plan to raise minimum wage to $15 an hour?
