Mr. Speaker, I think all levels of government must work together for the benefit of all Canadians. It is necessary to review taxes at the municipal level as well as here-
-at the federal government and the provincial government levels and to make sure that we are not having a double hit on all our constituents. Sometimes it is a triple and a quadruple hit in Ontario with regional government.
I am pleased that the government was able to protect for 75 per cent of the senior citizens in this country the age tax credit. I have heard from many seniors that they are concerned about being knocked into the next level and losing that exemption. However, many people have said to me that they too want to share in rebuilding our economy and pay their fair share. Many people recognize that this country needs a lot of work on our deficit.
I think we have made some positive moves in terms of protecting the age tax credit for 75 per cent of the seniors in this country. We have a lot of work to do with the other levels of government in making sure that we are not harming seniors and others in our population. Together we can work on this.
