All right.
I would like to talk now about tax measures. I know that health problems and obesity are very often linked to poverty. I don't know what the situation is here but, in Montreal, that's very often the case. I believe that using tax credits to improve this situation would be inappropriate because most poor people simply do not pay any income tax. Furthermore, even when they do, they don't have enough money to pay for fitness programs.
I'm an excellent example. My MP's salary would certainly allow me to buy a membership in a fitness center, especially since the cost is only $100 a year at the parliament fitness center, a price which can't be beat. Despite that, I don't use the center.
Would it not be more useful to give some specific benefit to help poor people pay the cost of fitness programs instead of extending that benefit to everybody, whether they need the money or not?
