Brison calls for tax overhaul

From the Brison campaign's newsletter:

"Scott Brison is calling for a complete overhaul of Canada’s tax, regulatory and economic support systems with the goal of making Canada’s international competitiveness a key national objective

His speech about his vision for a more prosperous and innovative future was his first major policy address of the campaign.

Scott says a smarter tax system would make Canada a magnet for talent and capital and would also better respect the hard-earned dollars of working men and women in Canada.

He was addressing a room packed with business people in Toronto who enthusiastically applauded his bold ideas."

Good stuff. Among his proposals are allowing young people to earn $25,000 a year tax free for the first 12 years of their careers. Also, setting up individual EI accounts, allowing people who do not draw on their EI for a decade to tap the unused money for further training and education.

The full speech is available on the official website for the Brison campaign.
