Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to ask my Conservative colleague a question.
The Conservatives have been talking about income splitting for months now. They put the measure in this year's budget, even though the former finance minister said that he did not support such a measure because it did not benefit a majority of the population.
Could my colleague explain why the Conservatives came up with a measure that benefits only about 15% of the population?
What is the point of a tax measure that benefits only a small minority of Canadians?
