Delivering on job creation and growth through a low tax plan Peter Van LoanMP York-Simcoe Another 50,000 Canadians have found work this past month. Since the economic downturn, more than 950,000 families have seen a breadwinner get a job. The Conservative's Economic Action Plan is working. We believe that low taxes – by leaving more money in the hands of families to spend on their priorities – deliver economic growth. What's more, through the Economic Action Plan, we have made it easier for families to pay the bills. We've made it easier for businesses to hire workers and get people back to work. Our plan is working. We have the best job growth of the major western economies. Canada is not immune to global economic challenges. There are still many Canadians that are struggling to find a job. We must continue to make it easier for businesses to create jobs. With a stronger economy and job-creating initiatives like the Hiring Credit for Small Businesses, we are seeing results as evidence of this month's job numbers. Since we formed government, we have lowered taxes more than 120 times, reducing the average family's taxes by over $3,100 a year. We are confident that our low tax plan is helping Canadian families. We have introduced measures like the Children's Arts Tax Credit, on up to $500 in registration fees. The Children's Fitness Tax Credit applies on up to another $500 in sports registrations. Getting children active, through activities like dance, music classes, soccer, hockey, is extremely important to their growth and learning. Families can take advantage of this benefit right now as registration time rolls around for summer sports leagues and arts programs. Not only have we come forward with measures like the children's arts and fitness tax credits, but we are investing in important community infrastructure which helps to bring communities together. This is helping to create volunteer and job opportunities for all members of the community. As an example, residents of York-Simcoe have seen our government invest in their local ice rinks and community parks. There are many more new tax credits – from the Family Caregiver Tax Credit to the Working Income Tax Benefit (to help people entering the workforce), to apprenticeship credits, and more. We have worked to make life easier for your family. The Conservative government focus is on jobs, economic growth and long term prosperity. Last month, 50,000 more Canadian families experienced change for the better, with a new job. |
