Madam Speaker, the wealth tax we propose is on fortunes over $20 million. That does not affect a lot of people in my riding. I do not think it affects a lot of people in the riding of Winnipeg North, but it does affect a lot of folks at the top who have been getting a pretty good ride for the last 20 or 30 years seeing their tax rates go down.
We are talking about going after a smaller number of people within Canada to have them pay a proportionately larger share of the overall tab similar to they way they used to. It is not as if this is unprecedented. The rate of taxation the NDP is proposing today is less than what it was in the immediate post-war period.
