Mr. Speaker, the member commented on an interesting point. If we provide tax cuts in certain areas and reduce revenue, it means it has to be made up by either raising taxes in another area or cutting services.
The member may want to comment on the advisability of the pension income splitting program, which would only benefit those who have defined pension benefit plans, who have a partner and whose pensions are in excess of about $38,000 just to start to get any benefit. It seems that it is benefiting high income earners over low. How does that ties in with the whole theme of tax fairness?
