Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
The policy of the government is becoming increasingly clear. After launching an assault on the unemployed, the government is now setting its sights on seniors. By reducing the tax credit for seniors, the government is actually increasing their tax burden by $500 million over three years. The Minister of Human Resources Development has also announced a review of social programs for seniors.
Instead of targeting the pensions of senior citizens, why does the Prime Minister not have the courage to eliminate tax shelters?
