Income Splitting
The bill sends an important societal message that we value the choice of parents to raise their children full-time. For too long, the message has been that mums and dads should let the ‘professionals’ look after their young children (day care) and parents should get out and get a real job. Income splitting is a fairer system and acknowledges the interdependence of the family unit, and will give parents more choice and potentially more ability to have a stay-home parent during the crucial early years of a child’s life. This bill appears to have been ‘shelved’ by the government.
