Mr. Speaker, a full 8.4 million of the people who file their income tax in fact do not have any taxable income. They are therefore ineligible for the income tax credits that are given to people who have an income. I would like to ask the minister once again: Why would the Government of Canada not make its hockey equipment tax credit, its music lesson tax credit, its caregiver tax credit and its disability tax credit available to people who really, really need it?
