Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance.
For the past year, the minister has been going after middle income earners and the poorest members of society to replenish the government's coffers. The odious cuts in the unemployment insurance program and age credit announced in the last budget are cases in point. The minister is relentless in his attacks and is now considering taxing pension plan contributions.
Can the Minister of Finance confirm whether or not he intends to tax pension plan contributions?
