Jennifer Robson on Preserving Economic Key Policies Amid Government Change | Policy Options
December 20th, 2024 | In an article for Policy Options, Jennifer Robson highlights that despite the political instability surrounding Justin Trudeau's government, certain policies from the recent fall economic statement (FES) are worth saving. She argues that opposition parties should consider supporting these measures, not to prop up the government, but to act in the Canadians best interest. Robson points to key policies like the amendment to ensure the Canada Disability Benefit isn’t taxed and proposed changes to simplify tax filing, which could have lasting positive effects regardless of which party is in power. By supporting these initiatives, opposition parties can show leadership and help Canadians during this turbulent time, preserving valuable measures that benefit the country as the political landscape evolves.
