Mr. Speaker, in spite of all the credits that the minister brags about, these people are still paying $4,000 a year more in federal tax and the minister is clawing back that money off the child tax credit.
The point is that last year single income families paid 92% more federal tax than dual income families. Under the 1999 budget that discrimination gets even worse. Families with a stay at home parent pay more than double the federal tax of a two income family regardless of what he says about credits. Families are having to live on credit now.
Why does the government continue to discriminate against single income families?
