Madam Speaker, perhaps one of the other panellists or I should have suggested that he call a CA, like the hon. member for Mississauga, who could have advised him.
The pathetic part of this is that the government makes tax policy so complicated that someone making $10,000 per year needs to call a CA to get advice. I am certain that is in the interest of the hon. member who was a CA, perhaps still is a CA, and after the next election may be resuming his practice.
The fact is the budget did not do anything for Canada's disabled. It left an awful lot of low income Canadians out in the cold by refusing to address the fundamental issue of taxing people at the low end of the income scale. The government ought to raise the basic personal exemption to at least $12,000 as a start.
