Mr. Speaker, when a Canadian receives social security from the United States there is a credit of about 15% against that, so 85% goes into tax and 15% does not.
The hon. member has invited us to reduce that to 50%. The problem is that Canadians receiving $100, for example, from the Canada pension plan are fully taxed, whereas those who receive U.S. social security are then half taxed. That hardly seems like an equitable solution.
