We agree that my riding makes very good wine, and I agree with her that Canadians are struggling to get by. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6924590\" data-originallang=\"en\">There are Canadians who are not struggling to get by. Those are the billionaires of Canada, the ultrawealthy. Could the member comment on the NDP's idea that it is time for the ultrawealthy to pay their fair share, so that the tax burden of Canada is not on the shoulders of those who are struggling to get by? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6924591\" data-originallang=\"en\">Would she agree that we need a wealth tax on the ultrawealthy, so that we can make sure the costs of the pandemic are shared equitably?</p>",

Nous consid\u00e9rons tous les deux qu'il se fait de l'excellent vin dans ma circonscription et, comme elle, je pense que les Canadiens ont de la difficult\u00e9 \u00e0 joindre les deux bouts. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6924590\" data-originallang=\"en\">Par contre, il y a des Canadiens qui n'ont aucun probl\u00e8me d'argent. Je parle des milliardaires canadiens, les ultrariches. Que pense la d\u00e9put\u00e9e de ce que disent les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates, soit qu'il serait temps que les ultrariches paient leur juste part afin qu'il n'y ait pas que les Canadiens qui en arrachent qui aient \u00e0 assumer le fardeau fiscal au Canada? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6924591\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e croit-elle qu'il faut un imp\u00f4t sur la fortune des ultrariches pour que les co\u00fbts de la pand\u00e9mie soient assum\u00e9s de fa\u00e7on \u00e9quitable? </p>"
