“The new budget lets Canadian artists pay no tax on income up to $45,000. I want the member for Spadina—Harbourfront to explain how this will help people in her riding.”
“Mr. Speaker, yesterday’s budget included tax measures for artists. If someone is a Canadian artist, for example, they will not have to pay tax on their income up to $45,000. The member mentioned TIFF, the Toronto International Film Festival. I am a big fan myself. Can the member for Spadina—Harbourfront outline other examples of how this tax measure would benefit the fine residents of her constituency?”
