Mr. Speaker, I happened to read a letter today from a lady who was talking about the inequities in the Canadian Income Tax Act. She made the point that she wanted the choice to stay at home and care for her children during their critical years. She also said, “If I am in the home, if I am in the kitchen, it is my own choice. If I am pregnant, the Reform Party most assuredly had nothing to do with it. If I am barefoot, however, the Liberal Party has made a major contribution to my condition”.
I would like the member to respond to this whole issue, particularly on the matter of the Reform proposal for an increased spousal equivalent that would be allowed for a dependent child of a single parent.
