My understanding is that the government actually did that in the last budget and put in place some form of tax credit for working Canadians, so I think there has been some progress made there.
We've been big fans of raising the basic personal exemption as a means of putting more dollars back in the pockets of low-income earners. We look at governments across Canada. In Manitoba and Saskatchewan you start paying tax at about $8,000. Here in Alberta, you start paying tax at about $14,000 or $15,000. We think that puts real dollars back in the pockets of low-income earners.
I know the federal government did move, in the last budget, to put in place a new credit of some sort for working Canadians. To me, that seems to be a very practical solution.
