Mr. Speaker, I can understand why the member is having such a problem with this issue. It is because he does not understand the difference between income inclusion and taxation.
These people will see 85% of their income included on their tax returns. The reality is, they do not care. They are not taxable.
The very few people who the member is trying to defend, yes, they may see lower taxes. By the way, they are not going to be any worse off than they were for the two years in which that legislation existed.
Who are these people defending? It is not low income seniors.
Bloc members should be ashamed of themselves too—
