Mr. Speaker, we did not say that students could use their RRSPs. We said RRSPs could be used to help people get an education.
That means parents who presently hold RRSPs could decide to use them to help their kids with an education. We want to develop other financial vehicles by which people could begin to invest in their children's future at an early age. We want to provide investment vehicles so that parents, grandparents and other relatives can begin to put money aside with some form of incentive from the government to save for education and training, not just for income security.
I find it incredible that the Bloc Quebecois and others would somehow say it is wrong for the Government of Canada to encourage parents to invest in their children's future.
