“Canadians want to rely on their own paycheques, but in Windsor, wages do not cover basic living costs anymore. Hard-working people used to be able to afford a home, feed their families, and live in safe neighbourhoods. I want the Leader of the Opposition to explain what happened to that promise.”
“Madam Speaker, Canadians are a proud people, and they are not looking for another government cheque. Windsorites are asking why their own paycheque will not go far enough. Could the Leader of the Opposition explain what happened to the basic bargain, that if Canadians work hard, pay their taxes and play by the rules, they should be able to afford a home, feed their family, get ahead and live in a safe neighbourhood? What happened to that bargain?”
