Mr. Speaker, I listened to my friend's speech. However, I am a bit confused, in that she did not talk about the Conservatives' income-splitting scheme, which is today's topic.
She could perhaps clarify if she is in support of the $5-billion income-splitting scheme, as has been suggested by the finance minister as being a good policy. We know Mr. Flaherty thought it was a worrisome policy.
I know she has been given direction from her friend across the way to say that this is a universal conversation. However, this is just a very clear, simple, and respectful question. Is she in favour of the income-splitting scheme, as has been suggested by the current finance minister, the $5-billion program that Conservatives talked about in the 2011 election?
It is not a new thing. It is not unknown. The Conservatives have talked about it. The finance minister says he is supportive. I wonder if my friend is supportive as well.
