Debate on Budget Highlights Ontario MP's Middle Class Plea
The House discussed the Budget with Mr. MacDonnell of Muskoka urging protection for a middle class with incomes from 3000 to 7500. He warned of its possible decline and called for return to normal times with adjustments to money in circulation and low interest rates.
