Since her cabinet position as minister of middle class prosperity and associate minister of finance was announced, Fortier has been dogged with questions about she defines the middle class. However , speaking on CTV Power Play shortly after being appointed to cabinet in November , she could not do so.
” There’s no unique definition for middle class ” she told host Joyce Napier.
” We have to make sure we represent the realities in a rural , remote or even urban setting , regional differences … and respond to the needs of families.”
She added that would be learning more about her role in her mandate letter , which has since been released. In it , Fortier is tasked mainly with supporting the Ministry of Finance. However , the few times the words ” middle class ” are mentioned in the letter , their definition remains unclear.
The letter also tells Fortier to work with finance officials to ensure the department has ” the analytical and advisory capabilities that it needs to support and measure the impact of an economic agenda focused on growing the middle class and those people working hard to join it.”
Without any official statistical measure for that group , it’s unclear how her ministry plans to know whether that group has grown in size or whose quality of life she is measuring.
Without a ‘ clear measure for the statistical size of that group ‘ , how the Hell can she even begin to ‘ learn ‘ how to earn an over bloated Ministerial portfolio position in the government ?!!! …
