Mr. Speaker, real-world impacts are what we have today after nine years of the Prime Minister's promising to tax, borrow and spend us into fairness. According to the StatsCan data he put out himself, since he became Prime Minister, the net worth of the wealthiest Canadians has doubled. Why? It is because the taxes he puts always land on the middle class. Nine in 10 middle-class people are paying higher taxes. The vast majority of Canadians and 100% of the middle class are paying higher carbon tax. His last round of small business tax hikes hit plumbers and electricians, not the rich. Why is it that every time Prime Minister mentions the middle class, they get poorer?
