Madam Speaker, the GST holiday does not cover any of the major core expenses for low-income households who could have used some help this Christmas. At least there is a silver lining for lovers of fine wines. If anyone is buying a bottle of the legendary 1945 Romanée-Conti, which sells for over $700,000, the Liberals and NDP will take off $35,000. That is a lot of money. In fact, it is the median annual after-tax income in Quebec.
This strikes me as a pretty lousy measure. Would my colleague not agree?
