Revenue Canada sends me lots of letters.
I wanted to come back to Madam Demers' question about income splitting. We noted in this committee, when we did a study in regard to the economic security of older women, that it does indeed negatively impact single women or single seniors. Those at the top, those who have that very substantive income, are able to reap benefits. I think that if the income was in the range of $60,000, the benefit was about $8,000, whereas at the lowest level there was no benefit at all. I am very worried about that and about how to make that more fair and equitable. How can Parliament make sure that those people at the bottom are benefiting in the same way as the people at the top?
Second, in the presentation you said that in those situations where there is income splitting, each spouse, even if one spouse didn't make significant contributions to CPP, would receive a payment in her own name. Does that mean that there is actually a cheque given to that spouse that is separate from her partner's?
