Mr. Speaker, I will use my hon. friend's own logic at the outset of his statement when he said that the wealthiest people, including us in the House, would benefit from income splitting, and he cited himself as an example.
Does that mean he has voted against every tax reduction measure because he felt that he should not benefit from it? What does he have to say now to all those lower-income Canadians who would have benefited by the lower tax reductions brought in by our government? What does he have to say to those lower-income Canadians when he voted in his own interest?
