Mr. Speaker, I have heard a lot of discussion, debate and lectures on taxation and on monetary and fiscal policy, but I have never heard such a rambling diatribe of information as I have just heard in the House.
We have to come reality. We are not here to speak for 10 minutes and consume the 10 minutes. We are here to present facts, realities and some conclusions to the Canadian people.
After listening to the member talking about the two families, I cannot help but wonder what the attitude and policy is of the Reform Party. It seems to show that two low income families should pay the same amount of taxes as one major income earner family.
Would the member comment on how his party could come to the conclusion that two families, being compared in terms of total income, one where two people each earn $20,000 a year, should pay the same income tax as a single earner earning $40,000 per year. Could the member please inform the House of his thinking, his logic in coming to that conclusion?
