Mr. Speaker, the preamble to the hon. member's question is simply nonsense. The issue is how best can Canadians take care of their children and what is the role of the state.
I have asked the hon. member and his party whether they are against progressive taxation. We have had no answer. I have asked the hon. member whether they are against individual taxation. We have had no answer.
The one thing on which we have had an answer is that the government brought in the child tax benefit and its improvements. These apply to Canadians who work in the home and to Canadians who work outside the home. We know that the Reform Party opposed it.
