Mr. Speaker, the member should listen once again. If we were to raise the non-refundable tax credit by $1,000, that $1,000 tax credit would be equivalent to $250 in the pocket. He does not understand that an additional $250 in the pocket would be for each and every taxpayer in Canada regardless of their level of income because every Canadian is entitled to the non-refundable tax credit.
If the member understands that it costs a lot to give every taxpayer $250, would it not be better to find a way to give those in need, the lowest income Canadian, the benefit of $500 by not giving it to everybody across the board? That is the point I do not think the member has understood.
