Mr. Speaker, the Liberals admit that they would raise taxes on almost half of families with kids by scrapping the income split. That is how many benefit from income splitting: almost half of families with kids.
However, why should we believe that they would not get rid of income splitting for seniors if they are opposing the principle of income splitting for families? In fact, when asked that question, the former Liberal leader, current Heritage critic, said of income splitting for seniors, “...it is not our priority. It would be very, very costly”.
That sounds like the same rhetoric they are using to justify raising taxes on families. Seniors cannot trust the Liberals.
