The House of Commons unanimously voted in favour of the Liberals’ promised income tax cut on Thursday.
The Liberals promised to bring in a one percentage point reduction in the lowest marginal tax rate — taking it from 15 per cent to 14 per cent — during this spring’s election campaign.
The government introduced a “ways and means” motion to make the tax changes last week and all MPs voted in favour of the motion on Thursday.
A ways and means motion allows the government to start making changes to the tax code before such changes are passed in legislation — but a bill will still need to be passed.
boooooooooooooo
I’m curious, what is it you’re "boo"ing? 🤔
I mean the house doing anything unanimously makes me think hell has frozen over, but tax cuts are everybody’s farvorite policy.
Really? I always thought it was the opposite. I’m broke, and even I know you need taxes to pay for all the large projects we all benefit from.
Obviously I don’t want it going to Israel, or any of the bad things which are funded in my name, but on the whole the purchasing power of our tax base is greater than anything I could do individually with my portion.
Brainwashed by the wealthy
It’s a 1% tax cut for the lowest percentile (poor people).
poor people don’t pay taxes
Which rich people still benefit from because of progressive taxation. Just saying.
