Mr. Speaker, I noticed that there is a competition going on here in terms of the word fairness and the word equitable.
When we take a reporting of income from 50%, jack it up to 85% and somehow call that fair, I do not see the fairness in that. The Liberals are going after the elderly in this bill. They are taxing people who have the least ability to pay. These people cannot go back into the workforce. They have retired based on the understanding that they are only going to have to report 50% of what they bring in through their social security cheques. This government has gone ahead and jacked it up by 70% and Liberal members sit their with smug smiles on their faces trying to justify this. How can they justify it?
