He mentioned the middle class and the tax cut the Liberals have offered. I would like to say that the middle class will still not get a raise, as the member indicated, with tax plans that leave out 70% of Canadians.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4176699\" data-originallang=\"en\">He mentioned the coffee shops. These are the places in my riding where working-class people gather, and they will no doubt be asking the Liberal government why 70% of Canadians are being left out of the tax changes the government has proposed. Why do they not get a break as well?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4176700\" data-originallang=\"en\">What will the member tell them, or does he only represent the 30% that he worked with on Bay Street?</p>",

Il a parl\u00e9 de la classe moyenne et de la baisse d'imp\u00f4t offerte par les lib\u00e9raux. J'aimerais dire que la classe moyenne n'aura pas plus d'argent, car, comme le d\u00e9put\u00e9 l'a soulign\u00e9, ces mesures fiscales excluent 70 % des Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4176699\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a parl\u00e9 des caf\u00e9s. Or, c'est dans ces endroits que les travailleurs de ma circonscription se r\u00e9unissent, et ils demanderont s\u00fbrement au gouvernement lib\u00e9ral pourquoi 70 % des Canadiens sont exclus des modifications fiscales que le gouvernement a propos\u00e9es. Pourquoi ne peuvent-ils pas b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier \u00e9galement d'un all\u00e9gement fiscal?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4176700\" data-originallang=\"en\">Que leur r\u00e9pondra le d\u00e9put\u00e9, \u00e0 moins qu'il ne repr\u00e9sente que les 30 % avec qui il a travaill\u00e9 sur Bay Street?</p>"
