Mr. Speaker, one of the very first things we did in 2015 was to raise taxes on the wealthiest 1% and lower them for the middle class. I will recall that the NDP, at that time, actually voted against that measure. However, right now, we are putting forward a measure to ask the wealthiest Canadians, who make a tremendous amount of profits when they sell extremely profitable investments, to actually pay a bit more on those profits. That way, we can invest in more housing, in more supports for seniors and in a range of things to create fairness for every generation. The Conservatives are choosing to vote against that, and they are standing with the wealthiest once again.
