Mr. Speaker, once again a Liberal government policy is causing unnecessary financial stress to taxpayers.
Daryl is a pensioner in my riding who relies on the GST credit to make ends meet. He filed his taxes on time, yet received a letter from CRA stating he now has to repay the GST credit, even though his income has not changed. Why? It is because, although the Liberal government extended the filing deadline, it failed to tell people that this could cost them the GST credits.
Why can the government not simply reassess the credits after filing? Why is it adding the financial stress to Canadians?
