Madam Speaker, I would like to use a statistic that is not in the motion, but it is one that I think is very relevant.
StatsCan data about income taxes collected in the year 2016, which is the last year for which data is available, shows that the bottom 50% of Canadians are paying more tax as a percentage of their income than they were in any year before, going back 10 years. Actually, the top 1% of Canadians are paying less tax than they have in the past 10 years.
I would like to hear the member comment on this, because it is a pure reflection of the policies of the Liberal government.
