Mr. Speaker, we are simply asking the minister to put her words in law. She has claimed that no one who earns less than the top 0.13% of income in the country would be affected. Once again, will she amend her bill to say that no one who is in the bottom 99.87% of income earners would pay any new tax increase whatsoever, yes or no?

Mr. Speaker, a lot of restaurant owners will pay this tax increase on their very first dollar of investment gains inside a company. That is a fact. They earn $58,000 a year. It is a very simple question. If what I am saying is wrong, there is a very simple solution. Will the minister commit to amending her bill to say that any retiring restaurant owner who has been earning $58,000 a year will be fully exempt from any of these tax increases?

Mr. Speaker, a wonderful grandmother, 93-year-old Liz Diachun, is severing a few lots off her long-time family farm to give to her kids and grandkids so that they can have a place to live in this terrible housing crisis. She was surprised to learn she is going to be paying this latest Liberal tax increase. She was asked, “Are you rich?” She said, “Are you kidding me? I am on a pension.” Will the finance minister amend her bill so that low-income grandmothers who are passing on a bit of land for their kids to live on will not be hit by this tax increase?

Mr. Speaker, if that were true, then the Liberals would be prepared to put in writing, in the law, that no farmer, fisher or electrician will pay any new tax under this increase. Will they?

Mr. Speaker, the minister proposes this new tax increase on every single dollar that a fisherman earns inside of his small business. There is no $250,000 exemption for him. Even if he just earns $1,000, he will have to pay the tax increase. We forget that it is not just our wonderful farmers who feed us, but also our fishermen. Will the finance minister amend her bill to ensure that there will not be a single fish harvester anywhere in Canada who will face a tax increase?

Mr. Speaker, there are many union workers who have rental properties that they invest in. Will the minister make the commitment that no union worker will have to pay this tax increase?

Mr. Speaker, using Statistics Canada data, Dr. Jack Mintz calculated that 50% of those who will pay this tax increase earn less than $120,000 a year and that 10% earn less than $18,000 a year. We do not have to dispute these numbers. Why do we not just make it simple and make it clear? Will the minister accept an amendment to exempt anyone who earns less than $120,000 a year from this tax increase, yes or no?
