Alexandre Boulerice Independent
“The richest people in Canada own most of the wealth, while the poorest barely own anything. Food costs too much, and inequality is getting worse under the Liberals. When will the government help struggling workers instead of rich people and big tech companies?”
“Mr. Speaker, in Canada, the wealthiest 20% of the population owns 66% of the wealth. At the other end of the spectrum, the poorest 40%, almost half of the population, owns only 3%. After 11 years of the Liberal regime, inequality is rising. Our society is unfair, and people are suffering. According to a survey, the expense that people are most worried about is food. For a Prime Minister who said that he should be judged by the price of groceries, it is a failure. Instead of giving handouts to web giants and their billionaire friends, when will the Liberals take care of struggling workers?”
