Mr. Speaker, during the election the Conservatives made a promise that they would not touch income trusts, as it was initially being proposed before the election. Now the Conservatives are trying to spin this promise that they went back on that they do not want to hurt the seniors and their incomes, but they want to address the corporation side of things.
I have a lot of seniors in my riding and in the emails and communiqués that I have received, it has impacted their way of life for the future. We have to keep in mind that these seniors today are not income generators and cannot work a couple of hours of overtime to offset it. They depend on a certain income to at least maintain the lifestyle that they dreamed of and now it is being taken away. Could the member please elaborate on the seniors aspect? The Conservatives are trying to misrepresent it again.
