Madam Speaker, I find it fascinating that the member would use the word “trumped” when there are a lot of concerns about his party being affiliated with that type of rhetoric and ideology. It is very troubling.
We are talking about billions of dollars in subsidies. The member is talking about eight cents. We are talking about doubling the child benefit and increasing the GST tax credit in a direct way so they go directly to families in need. The member is talking about an idea to get help to people that may or may not work. We are talking about getting help directly to people in need. I think the member would rather protect the profits of the oil and gas sector than help families that are struggling right now.
