Mr. Speaker, the government has encouraged unbelievable profiteering during this pandemic. Canada's billionaire's have increased their wealth by over $78 billion, yet the government refuses to follow the lead of other countries and put in place a wealth tax. Now the parliamentary budget officer has released new figures on how much a pandemic profits tax would bring. It is $8 billion, more than enough to put a roof over every Canadian's head and eliminate homelessness in Canada, yet the Liberals refuse yet again to curb profiteering.
Why do Liberals always give a free ride to the ultra-rich?
