Mr. Speaker, the question the member poses I think raises some fundamental questions about the imputed value of a number of different services that are provided by members of the family. For example, we have questions about the value of services that housewives provide. Is there imputed benefit to that that should be considered in the overall tax system? As far as caregiving in the home, I think it is sort of tied up in that question. Mr. Cullen
It is an issue I think we need to consider but in fairness there is a cost to making moves with respect to those provisions.
It has ramifications throughout the whole tax system. I think we need to look at them carefully but cautiously.
