I'm not slamming it. First of all, I think day care is a provincial jurisdiction. The provinces should be addressing it in a meaningful way by putting it under the heading of education, because I agree that it's early learning. My wife works on curriculum, she works on teaching, and I think it's very important that we recognize this. It's important that we treat the people who work in day care fairly and equitably with people who teach at other levels.
Mr. Braniff, you're arguing for income splitting for seniors. I think what Mr. McKay was getting at—and I tend to agree with him—was the question of why we aren't talking about household income splitting as a whole. I think the major groups of seniors would benefit from income splitting, and I'm not opposed to the notion at all. In fact, it's in our broader policy guide.
Why are seniors' groups not coming forward and saying there should be household income splitting? Why are they specifically talking about pension splitting?
