Mr. Speaker, let us understand what the Reform Party recommended in its document last week. In its $2,000 tax reduction, a one earner couple with two children and an income of $15,000 by its numbers would save $420.
The same one earner couple with two children and an income of $100,000 would save $3,200 a year and more that made a capital gain.
That is progressivity according to the Reform Party. This is a tax cut for the wealthiest Canadians and it is done in order to pay for the gutting of the basic social programs that protect the middle class in this country.
