Mr. Speaker, with all due respect to my colleague, I am wondering where he has been for the past three years.
We lowered taxes for the middle class and raised them for the wealthiest 1%. We made the Canada child benefit more progressive than ever before. This summer, the OECD recognized that Canadian families pay the least in taxes of any G7 country and that, on average, they are $2,000 richer than they were under the Conservative government. What is more, child poverty in Canada has been reduced by 40%.
Our government is progressive to the core and is committed to reducing inequality across the country.
