Four years of Conservative action for
Canada
Saturday, January 22, 2010 marked the
four year anniversary of the
Conservative Party victory in the 2006
general election. Since that win, our
Conservative Government has delivered
real results that have made a difference
in the lives of Canadians and their
families.
For the past four years, we have
delivered significant tax relief for
families and businesses. We lowered the
GST from 7% to 6% to 5% to put more
money back into Canadians’ pockets. We
cut income taxes at all levels to help
working families save on their tax bill.
Seniors in Canada are enjoying lower
taxes as a result of our introduction of
pension income splitting and our
increases to the Age Credit Amount. We
have also lowered our corporate and
small business tax rates to make Canada
a more attractive place to do business.
Our Government’s action is keeping taxes
low for all Canadians.
In addition to providing tax relief, our
Conservative Government has delivered
other strong initiatives that have made
a difference. We created the popular
Home Renovation Tax Credit, where
families can renovate and upgrade their
homes and save on their 2009 tax return.
We introduced the Universal Child Care
Benefit to give parents choice in
childcare; because when it comes to our
kids, parents know best. We also
introduced special tax credits for
children’s fitness programs and public
transit passes.
