Mr. Speaker, here again, the important principle is our desire to protect women who are most at risk, and we are doing so.
We will have revenues redistributed to the women who are the least well off. In Quebec it is clear that most of those receiving or
who will receive the increased pension are women. Furthermore, cheques distributed to couples will be divided equally between husband and wife so that each gets half the money due the couple and so that each may remain independent.
