Mr. Speaker, at a conference on the economy held in Ottawa yesterday, the Deputy Minister of Finance, David Dodge, stated that Canadians earning between $75,000 and $200,000 a year pay too much tax. He suggested that the federal government reduce taxes for high income earners so that Canada can remain competitive on global markets.
Does the Minister of Finance agree with his deputy minister and should we expect a ministerial statement announcing a tax reduction for high income earners in the near future?
