Madam Speaker, I will take the opportunity to remind the member that we had proposed an amendment that would have actually changed the tax increase, not to apply to the second bracket—and that is the reason why we get people in Canada who are making six figures and see the biggest benefit from that tax cut—but to have a tax cut in keeping with the spirit of the Liberal promise that would have happened at the first income bracket and would have benefited all working Canadians, not just the middle class, which they cannot quite define but seems to be a six-figure middle class, but everyone who is working hard in Canada. The Liberals voted against that, and I do not understand why. It was a disappointment that they were not actually willing to give a tax break to every working Canadian, so we felt we could not support their proposals.
