Budget Implementation Act, 2016, No. 2  Madam Speaker, it has been all about the child benefit.

Budget Implementation Act, 2016, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I do not agree with the member opposite, and he does not agree with me, as usual. I knew that he would contradict what I said.

Canada Pension Plan  Madam Speaker, I am looking at him, but I am speaking to you. The question is, which is the most critical point, the effect on business. Businesses will take a tax on this. It will make them lose jobs eventually, and there will be a levy on business operations. Could the hon. me
