Mr. Speaker, the member is exactly right. It is quite a bit more. It is more than double. In fact those numbers that I quoted in my speech and which I do not have committed to memory came from this Liberal government's budget book that was released to all of us in the House. Those tables chart out what single income and dual income families pay. If we compare the tax paid at the bracket the member talked about, $45,000, it gets worse when the income is lower, as the hon. member has mentioned for his riding, and the differential between the two types of families gets even greater.
In the House of Commons on March 4th, 1999. See this statement in context.
