Mr. Speaker, continuing in the same vein, one has the impression this report was drafted by a member of the Reform Party, because one of the recommendations suggests abolishing the basic exemption of $3,482 for the elderly and to tax the first $1,000 of senior citizens' income.
Would the minister agree that publishing such information on the moral authority of the Bank of Canada is bound to upset people and is liable to create a political movement that might compromise old age security, causing it to be taxed mercilessly and unfairly, a measure that would be most harmful?
