Mr. Chair, I am very proud of the tax-free savings account, which has provided an opportunity for millions of Canadians to shelter income from taxes. This is a very popular program. Over nine million Canadians are participating, it is very broad based, the numbers are increasing, and this is a very positive thing for those who believe, first and foremost, that individuals should keep their own money rather than give it to the government. Those who believe by default any money earned is the government's, of course, will not be happy with this program.
