Mr. Chair, we have taken an approach that has looked at the importance of tax fairness. As a very first measure, we decided that we would raise taxes on the top 1% of Canadians. We used that revenue to lower taxes for nine million Canadians. We then moved forward to improve the situation of nine out of 10 families by increasing the Canada child benefit.
Our approach has clearly been to create an environment that makes sense while allowing us to continue with broad-based support for businesses in this country.
