Madam Speaker, I have just heard the admission I need. She made it right here in the House. She said no senior stood up and asked her for an 85% inclusion rate. Yet we have the government bringing this bill forward.
That says to me, it screams it out loud, I asked the question in the House but she just admitted it here, the only people who want it are her, the revenue minister and the finance minister.
While she has consulted with seniors, and nobody asked for an 85% inclusion rate, she stands here with pride in the House today and bellyaches about how she wants to see an 85% inclusion rate, how it is fair, but that nobody asked for it, nobody demanded it, nobody wanted it.
The only people who want are this Liberal MP and some of the people she is defending in terms of the finance minister and the revenue minister. In terms of equity, where is the equity when those people in the United States were putting in their tax money? They were being taxed at the point of source. They were being taxed on putting money into this fund and now they get taxed again on taking it out, but this time it is by the Canadian government. They got taxed by the United States going into it and they are getting taxed at an 85% inclusion rate by this government, by the Liberals, on the way out.
Once again I just want to drive it home for the seniors in Windsor. They said it in the House today. Nobody asked for an 85% inclusion rate but this government is doing it to them anyhow.
