Mr. Speaker, budget 2010 increases taxes on post-doctoral students with scholarships. This means that while last year's students who earned an average of $32,000 in scholarships did not pay tax, this year's students, like Isabelle Thiffault, will now be taxed to the tune of $4,000.
Would the minister agree that not paying a tax last year but paying a tax this year on the same thing is a tax increase?
