Mr. Speaker, a policy that helps 14% of the population and excludes 86% is not good policy.
It will not be just the middle class that will be unfairly made to pay for income splitting. The provinces will also be saddled with the bill.
The Conservatives' gimmick will be of absolutely no benefit to 86% of families, but will cost the federal and provincial governments billions of dollars.
Why do the Conservatives want to exacerbate the fiscal imbalance with a measure that will only benefit the 14% of the population who are the wealthiest Canadians?
