Cancel income splitting, while retaining income splitting of pensions for seniors.

What success looks like

Cancelled income splitting for couples with children under 18, allowing for an increase in child benefits.

Government's narrative on progress

As the Canada Child Benefit was introduced, Budget 2016 eliminated income splitting for couples with children under 18. Pension income splitting was not affected by this change.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
