Mr. Chair, I truly appreciate where the member is coming from. I was raised by senior citizens on Cape Breton Island and am very well aware of the issues surrounding the cutoffs and the amounts of pension and old age supplement that are available when trying to raise a family.
I am very proud that this government has taken action by taking 950,000 people off the tax rolls by dealing with those things. That is really going to the heart in a lot of cases of the poverty issue.
With respect to the broader question on what we plan to do on taxation of corporations, the fundamental truism is that we need corporations in order to generate jobs. One way to ensure we have employers generating jobs and creating growth is by having the most competitive tax regime we possibly can in the world. That is what is going to create jobs for us and drive our economy.
