Mr. Speaker, the facts are that from day one personal income tax reductions have been an important part of our government's fiscal plan. With this budget a two income family earning $50,000 with two children gets a 15% decrease in its income taxes. The same family with a $30,000 income pays zero federal income taxes. The same family with a $20,000 income gets a federal tax credit of $3,600. This is our commitment to the Canadian middle class.
