Can you provide any details the government might have that would give us, once again, a breakdown of who stands to benefit by tax brackets? Who stands to benefit the most?
Economists tend to put things into terminology that's difficult for the average Canadian to understand. Take the cost of a Learjet; if I'm to buy a Learjet, I'll save $100,000 on that 1%. But that's the equivalent of having to buy 500,000 coffees and doughnuts at Tim Hortons, and I don't think there's a Canadian who could consume that amount throughout their lifetime.
I also notice that our corporations have done quite well over the last year. They are certainly making significant purchases of the sort I've referenced, Learjets and that sort of thing.
Do you have any numbers that show the tax savings for the highest-income Canadians and those with the greatest ability to pay? What kinds of tax savings will this GST cut generate for them as opposed to the guy whose extravagance is going to Tim Hortons in the morning?
