Mr. Speaker, it will be recalled that, some 20 months ago, our colleague François Langlois, the Bloc Quebecois member for Bellechasse at the time, raised the problem of pensioners in receipt of pensions from the United States who were being taxed disproportionately by the Americans.
These people were therefore seeing their meager pension incomes being made even more meager. Mr. Langlois made vigorous representations in this House at the time to have the situation remedied.
I would like to see our colleague from across the way explain to us if, indeed, this legislation before us now will ensure these people, particularly those living just on our side of the U.S. border—so we are speaking of the southern portions of Bellechasse, of Beauce and of the Eastern Townships—of pensions that will be taxed reasonably rather than unreasonably.
I await the answer of our colleague across the way.
