Keep RESP Tax Shelter. Drop HRC Funding.

We can navel gaze about what this bill will cost today,” Mr. McTeague said in an interview. “The lost revenue would be gained down the road when kids get higher paying jobs.”

I agree. Which is why I also propose dropping the GST to five percent. Oh wait, already done. What did Dion say about that again?

“We are the party of compassion, the party of Kelowna for aboriginals, the party that wants to put the fight against poverty at the core of agenda. We want to invest in Canadians and families, seniors, in regions, and there is no good balance in this declaration of the minister of finance about investing in Canadians and tax cuts.”

Wait a second, won’t more money being saved by families to invest in RESPs for their children… Never mind.

Chop the gun registry or the HRC funding and keep this tax break.
