Mr. Speaker, I would like to follow up with my hon. colleague on the previous question. He mentioned that some people will benefit from it and it is acknowledged that, in fact, about 14% of Canadians will benefit from it, including those he described. However, 86% of Canadians will not.
I would like to know what the member feels about the fact that this measure, which will cost $2.5 billion a year, is going to benefit 14% but not 86% of Canadians. If the government wants to continue reducing taxes, which is not a bad thing in itself, could it not have chosen something that would have benefited more fairly all Canadians?
