Study on Income Inequality Madam Speaker, one must wonder whether the hypocrisy of the Liberal Party really knows no bounds.

Pooled Registered Pension Plans Act approach. We do not want to see income inequality grow in our country. What was announced at Davos was nothing more than a further step to huge corporate interests such as we have seen with the corporate tax cuts.
