Mr. Speaker, when a person moves between jobs the employer and employee begin paying a new set of payroll deductions. This results in overpayments to the Canada pension plan and employment insurance. Employees get their overpayments back at tax time but employers do not. This taxation by stealth costs businesses $750 million each year.
Why did the finance minister's budget fail to stop this unfair tax grab? Employees get their overpayments back, why do employers not?
