Mr. Speaker, yesterday the finance minister tried to get Canadians to believe that there is no difference in how single income families are treated compared to dual income families under the tax system. I truly cannot believe that he really thinks that.
The fact is that on a $60,000 income the single income family pays $7,000 more in taxes than the dual income family.
Why is the finance minister and the government maintaining tax policies that force single income families to pay higher taxes?
