Mr. Speaker, the family tax cut or income splitting will help almost half of families with kids. We support income splitting because it gives tax fairness to those families.
The Liberals oppose the principle of income splitting for families, so logically, they oppose it for seniors. They voted against income splitting for seniors. Their former leader, the current heritage critic, spoke out against pension splitting for seniors. However, now, just before an election, the Liberals want seniors to believe that they have changed their minds. They have a multi-billion dollar hole in their plan. We know that they are going to reach into seniors' pockets to fill that hole.
