Mr. Speaker, that was a very good question the hon. member asked.
First and foremost, the sentence is taken out of context. It was the Government of Canada's response to the United Nations on the issue.
There are many people who have never been attached to the workforce who have stayed at home to look after their children. When they want to go into the workforce they would like the ability to have incentives to get the training they need. We also must be careful as we balance the incentive and the disincentive that we do not go so far as to create a disincentive.
That is simply what that means, that we must be very careful that we make sure choices are equitable and do not counterbalance it in one way or another. There is a risk of doing that if we only look at the income tax system as the way to deal with transfers to individuals in our country. That is what it means.
