Mr. Chair, I want to thank the parliamentary secretary for the answer and for applauding my work. My work was not easy when we had the Liberal finance minister, who was from Saskatchewan, in power. It has been great since the Conservatives have taken over and taken power. It has been even sweeter since the NDP has been out of the province.
The finance minister has provided over $1 billion in tax relief for Canadian seniors and pensioners, including doubling the pension income credit amount to $2,000, increasing the age credit amount to $5,066 and introducing pension income splitting.
In budget 2008, he announced another important tax measure for Canadian seniors regarding life income funds for which many of my constituents have long been asking.
Could the minister, in the time remaining, please update the House on the status of these two important issues?
