I will have better luck next time.
You have made two recommendations relating to income tax. The first is to reduce the rate of income tax, especially for low income workers as well as for middle and high income people. So, there is nothing specific there, you just want a general income tax reduction.
However, your second recommendation is to raise the bottom of the highest income tax bracket from $150,000 to $200,000. I must admit that there has been a long debate within the Standing Committee on Finance to know if we should be more in favour of a general tax-cut then a targeted cut for lower income people but this is the first time that someone wants a tax cut for the highest incomes, especially since tax cuts are always more beneficial to the richest among us. If we lower the first bracket, all taxpayers benefit from it, even those who are in the highest brackets. However, if we cut only for the highest bracket, nobody else gets any benefit.
I suppose you are aware that this would be somewhat difficult to sell in our ridings and I would like you to tell us how many taxpayers they are in Canada earning between $150,000 to $200,000, apart from the 308 MPs in Ottawa.
