Mr. Speaker, we have been talking a lot about some of the disappointing aspects of this economic update, but the biggest disappointment as far as I am concerned, and the member has been talking about bold actions that need to be taken, is that the current federal government is not stepping up on what have been immense levels of profit and increase in wealth during this pandemic. Billionaires have received about $53 billion in new wealth in Canada. We have seen the web giants making huge levels of profits, and they do not pay corporate taxes.
My question for the hon. member is very simple. Does she feel it is important that the federal government actually take measures to increase revenue so that we are not in a situation where the federal government then cuts supports that are vitally needed for people because they have not put in place the revenue side of the equation?
