Mr. Speaker, it is a fallacy that there is not enough money for the things that people need. There is enough money for seniors. There is enough money to build social housing. There is enough money to ensure that we are expanding and strengthening our health care system. There is enough money to provide people with the dental care and pharmacare that they need. That money exists.
However, money, as I said in my speech, is being hoarded by a very small group of people. It used to be that government would insist that that money was to be redistributed and that that power was to be redistributed. The government does not do that now. It used to be that people would demand that. New Democrats demand that. New Democrats see it as a solution to this, but the government has not taken up our ideas entirely. One of these ideas is to cut the GST to provide moderate support to help people, which would be a support for my constituents and people across this country.
What we want to do is to ensure that we raise an excess profit tax to cover those expenditures. That is how we would find balance. That is how we would regain sense, order and balance in this country. We need to make things fair and make things equitable.
