I'm going to pick up on the last thing that Monsieur Laforest said, which is about child benefits and the marginal tax rates that are faced by families in middle income ranges as they earn a bit more income. This is something that Professor Mintz mentioned in his presentation as well.
I think it is really important to consider how our child benefit system functions right now. We have a plethora of child benefits, certain parts of which overlap with each other. There's the new working income tax benefit, the national child benefit supplement, provincial national child benefit payments, the Canada child tax benefit, and the GST tax credit, which is paid to families as well. All of these things, as you earn more money, are reduced.
Having five different messy acronyms for child benefit programs seems to me like not the ideal way to proceed. Having a more universal approach to our child benefit system would allow our tax system to be more transparent in exactly what those tax rates are that are charged to families so that we could focus better on improving the system.
