LIBERAL HANDS IN YOUR POCKET

Since coming into office in 2015, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has made several major changes to the federal personal income tax system. This report examines how those tax changes affect Canadian families with children, focusing particularly on families who are in the bottom 20 percent of income earners.
Specifically, the report measures the number and percentage of families in this income group who are paying higher personal income taxes due to the federal government’s changes— and how much more they are paying.
