Research shows that:

• Income inequality in Canada (the gap between the richest and poorest Canadians) has been dramatically growing over the last two decades, while the incomes of most Canadians have stagnated.
• This trend is contributing to economic instability, damaging the social fabric of our country and diminishing the quality of life for Canadians.
• Reduced government spending, tax cuts favouring the wealthiest Canadians, and tax cuts for profitable corporations have accelerated the growing income gap.
