Mr. Speaker, this afternoon, the government will give an economic update with a significant deficit.
Historically, the Liberals' and the Conservatives' solution was to cut services to the public. That always hurts the same people, meaning workers, families and the most vulnerable.
There is another possibility, and that is to make the wealthiest members of our society pay. The NDP is proposing a tax on wealth over $20 million and an excess profit tax on certain corporations during the pandemic.
Will the Liberals adopt these progressive measures instead of burdening people with austerity measures?
