In a family structure, one person would be staying at home, male or female, making it possible for the other person to work. In that structure, say, there's a $70,000-a-year income, as opposed to two people working and getting $70,000.... The argument, then, was for income splitting for families, showing value to the person who is staying home and providing that support. What are your thoughts on that? The previous government had income splitting for families to acknowledge the very importance of the person who provides that foundation. It's still $70,000, but you're recognizing, through income splitting, the value of that person who's providing that foundation.
