Mr. Speaker, earlier this year I received a letter from Alice Straeleff of Abbotsford, B.C. Alice makes a little over $16,000 a year. Despite taking out a small RRSP, she had to mortgage her mobile home to pay her $800 income tax bill to the finance minister.
The minister likes to talk a lot about balance. I want to know where is the balance in forcing someone like Alice Straeleff to mortgage her mobile home to pay the taxman?
