What I’m hearing is once you get up into the very high income bracket, you get a protection of about $1,000 and you may be paying several thousand dollars. For the rest, everybody can be protected under that very high income bracket and there would be no effect assuming we
adjusted the cost of living tax credit, which would also likely benefit those people again in the high income bracket. Again, I don’t see this holding much water except to protect those in the very high income brackets that obviously don’t need the same degree of protection that we could and very obviously are serving, as we know, in other ways with our government policies. I would urge the Minister to get down to brass tacks and put together a coherent and comprehensive discussion paper on raising our payroll tax in a way that minimizes the impact on our residents, but does maximize our opportunity for revenue. Thank you.
