Mr. Speaker, I can assure the finance minister that this tax system is regressive for single income families.
This is more than just about the junior minister's foot in mouth disease. The senior minister is not blameless in this whole episode either. Two weeks ago he brought in a budget and entrenched the discrimination against single income families. It actually got worse in the last budget.
What is the minister's excuse? He cannot blame this simply on a slip of the tongue.
