New Commercial Promoting Tory Tax Cuts Paid For By Taxpayers (VIDEO)
An ad touting the Conservative government's new tax cuts has hit the airwaves and it's being paid for by Canadian taxpayers.
The ad, set in suburbia, promotes four tax measures that have not yet been approved by Parliament and which are aimed at families with young children. The tax cuts are expected to cost $26.8 billion over six years and to benefit around four million families, according to the government's own figures.
The Department of Finance has not revealed the cost of airing the new commercial, but a spokesperson told The National Post's John Ivison that $10 million has been allocated for Economic Action Plan ads this year. Radio ads promoting the tax cuts are also airing.
The most costly of the new tax measures is a hike to the Universal Child Care Benefit. When passed, the measure will see parents receive cheques covering six months of the increase to the benefit in July of 2015. The next federal election is scheduled to take place in October of 2015.
