Mr. Speaker, we are advancing the interests of the middle class by reducing taxes and providing child care benefits.
We introduced a plan that reduces families' taxes through income splitting, which will yield up to $2,000 for each family. We have enhanced this benefit, which provides $2,000 for each child under the age of six and $720 for each child between the ages of 6 and 17.
The NDP and the Liberals want to increase taxes and eliminate these benefits, but we will not let them.
