Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his clearly heartfelt comments about the DNA database for missing persons.
One of the very few advantages of debating an omnibus bill is that we in the opposition can ask almost any question. In fact, I am sure I could ask a question about kitchen sinks, because there is probably something about kitchen sinks in the omnibus bill.
However, I would like to talk about income splitting. Clearly, the experts have said the $50,000 transfer on income splitting is only going to benefit about 15% of Canadians, experts including the late Jim Flaherty, who said the same thing. The government was clearly aware of this, so it surrounded it with other tax benefits for children.
My question for my hon. colleague is this. Does he think it is fair to be giving $2 billion to 15% of the population?
