The NDP called for the proposed Working Canadian Rebate cheques to include more Canadians, including seniors and those unable to work last year.
, the deputy prime minister on Friday lamented what appears to be a lack of support for the proposed $250 rebate cheques that were originally part of the federal government’s plan.alongside the two-month holiday on GST and HST on certain items as a way to ease affordability concerns. The Liberals’ plan is for the tax break to take place from Dec. 14 to Feb. 15 and the rebate to roll out in spring 2025.
He said he initially thought the cheques would go to any Canadian who earned under the net income cap. Under the original proposal, Canadians who had worked in 2023 and earned less than $150,000 in net income would be eligible for the cheques. Singh says he wants to see the rebate include seniors who weren’t working, students who weren’t working, people on disability who weren’t working and others unable to work last year.
He went on to also criticize Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for not supporting the cheques, as well as the tax break which the NDP did vote for Thursday night which allowed it to be sent to the Senate. Following the adoption of that bill in the House of Commons, Poilievre said in a post on X that Canadians “don’t need a temporary two-month tax trick.”Trudeau says ‘no question’ Trump is serious on tariff threat
