OTTAWA – Canadians have been waiting for a budget from Ottawa that is focused on their priorities and the needs of the middle class – not just the wealthiest few. After a decade of deficits and mismanagement, Canada’s middle class families are working harder but falling further behind.
"This last Conservative budget splurges billions of dollars on Canada's wealthiest citizens and does almost nothing for hard-working middle-class families that are struggling with record debt loads," said NDP MP Peter Julian (Burnaby-New Westminster).
