Mr. Speaker, it is habit forming when we have to respond to the question mark. This is about killing part time jobs.
There is very little evidence that the part timer tax will benefit anyone except the federal coffers. Many businesses are opposed to this scheme. Ultimately, the increased cost to business will kill off the creation of part time jobs and generate huge tax revenues. In fact we expect this tax will generate over $1 billion.
How can the minister justify this $1 billion tax grab at the expense of part time workers?
