Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for the points he raised in the House. As I mentioned, back home, ordinary people are having a tough time because of the cost of living and inflation. We see that taxpayers money, Quebeckers' and Canadians' money, is being used by the Liberals to help their friends, their contacts, those who have power or hidden power. Could my colleague share his thoughts on what an injustice this scandal is to Canadians?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to make a comment. We know that Canadians are really struggling right now because of inflation and the cost of living. Day after day, life is becoming increasingly difficult. Meanwhile, they are once again seeing the Liberal government lining the pockets of its friends and contacts with taxpayers' money. What does my colleague think about this injustice when many Canadians are facing hard times?

  • Re: Bill C-32 
Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for sharing her thoughts. I would like to know if she thinks the government should do a lot more to make sure that rich Canadians pay their taxes. We know there is a measure in this bill, but I think much more should be done to tackle inequality in our country. What are my colleague's thoughts on that?

Madam Speaker, I enjoyed hearing my colleague's comments. Does he agree that, if we truly want to support ordinary people in crisis, we need to make the rich pay? They need be taxed fairly so that the government can invest in our social systems and support the people, families and communities who are going through very difficult times.
