Mr. Speaker, let me share some economic analysis, “Here we have a monstrous policy of transferring wealth from wage-earners to asset-holders, from the working class to the wealthy....Here we have a policy that is specifically designed to transfer wealth from those who earn wages to those who earn capital gains through their assets.” Who said that? The current Conservative leader. He was railing against the holders of assets and claiming to support working people, but we learned last week that is fake populism.

Madam Speaker, my colleague across the way talked about the lowest net debt-to-GDP ratio, but that only matters if the government is including the assets of the CPP, the Canada Pension Plan, but excluding the liabilities for future payout. When one looks at the gross debt, we are actually the 22nd worst out of 29 in the entire OECD, and we are near the bottom of the G7. Could the member across the way commit to using the real numbers instead of the dodgy fact or the dodgy misinformation he is using today?
