In a recent poll, 72% of Canadians said that they pay too much tax. If we want to encourage work, we need to stop punishing work. What we have seen is that, at the worst possible time, the government raised payroll taxes. If you're making $65,000 this year, then the government is taking nearly $4,500 directly from you through your CPP and EI tax. Then you have to add on what your employer must also pay through the CPP and EI tax.
If we want to encourage more work, we should stop increasing taxes on Canadian workers.
