The measure in Bill C-2 was among the most discussed topics during the election and after it. It is supposed to provide a tax cut to the middle class. However, everyone agrees that that is not really the most effective way to help the middle class. That is the conclusion I have come to.
The government points out that it is the first in a series of measures. The second, which is also contained in the federal budget, is the Canada Child Benefit. However this will not help seniors who earn less than $45,000 a year, nor childless couples where both spouses earn less than $45,000, nor single people who earn less than $45,000. In the final analysis, none of these people will derive any benefit from these measures that are supposed to reduce inequalities.
Is that also your opinion?
