Statement made on 21 October 2010 by Senator Maria Chaput

Hon. Maria Chaput:

Honourable senators, my question is for the Leader of the Government in the Senate and it is regarding relief for families.

Canada's corporate tax rate is 25 per cent below the corporate tax rate paid by corporations in the United States. It is now time to provide relief for families. Why does this government understand the needs of corporations but fails to understand the needs of families?
