Mr. Speaker, on the tax issue, the Reform Party has long advocated a flat tax system which allows for a basic exemption, no deductions, very simple. Reformers have also advocated replacing established pension plans with RRSPs. I see the member is nodding his head and he acknowledges that these are two things Reform has talked about.
The fact is that a flat tax approach basically shifts the tax burden from high income earners to middle income earners. How does the member square that system which does not allow deductions, including deductions for RRSPs, with Reform's other position that we should have more RRSPs to deal with pension entitlements?
