Mr. Speaker, I wonder if my colleague could expand on the point of income splitting the Conservatives have brought forward?
The way I look at it, less than 15% of Canada's population would benefit. The government and the Prime Minister are in essence forcing the Canadian middle class to pay for a $2 billion promise that less than 15% of the population would benefit from.
Perhaps he could just comment as to why the middle class should have to pay this price.
