Madam Speaker, that is quite the question. I am not sure who first wrote it, but the member added quite the word salad. What Quebeckers understand is that tax fairness is what counts. What we are doing is sparing everyone who earns a paycheque. Imagine: Everyone who earns a paycheque is not affected. Those who earn over $250,000 in one year will be required to pay a little bit more.

Mr. Speaker, what will be in the law is that anyone who makes a capital gain over $250,000 in a given year, the first $250,000 being exempt, 50% inclusion rate, will pay 66%. That is less than what Brian Mulroney asked them to pay. It gets us closer to the fairness that is being asked for by the electricians, the farmers, the teachers, the nurses, the fishers, the people in Canada who expect us to stand up for tax fairness, and against that.
