Mr. Speaker, we have to recognize that during the process of reducing taxes we have recognized a number of the disparities. Let me recite them for the member.
Where we have a single earner family we have a spousal credit of $1,500. In addition, we have the age credit, the pension credit, the disability credit and the medical credit that can be claimed.
With the child tax benefit we give $1,340 more to a single earner than to a double earning family. On top of that, a single earner can contribute up to $13,500 to the RRSP of a spouse.
