I'm not a tax expert, but I can tell you that one of the barriers to getting out of poverty is the enormously high marginal effective tax rate on income when you start to lose your government support programs.
In many provinces, for every dollar of additional income you generate, you might lose 50¢ on the dollar of government income support. The transition is so steep that it actually works as a disincentive and a barrier for people getting out of poverty.
I also think limits on the assets of people receiving government support are set too low. Ultimately, I think if you give people a bit more of an opportunity to build assets, it actually will be self-reinforcing.
If I could, I would like to comment on early childhood education.
