Canada is on track for balanced budgets in 2015-16. Is this timeframe appropriate? Should the federal government try to get back to balance sooner? Or should the timeline be delayed until later on?


Are there any federal Government programs that should be revised to better promote job creation and economic growth? Are there programs which you would like to see extended? Are there areas where funding could be shifted to meet changing priorities?
Budget 2011 outlined a plan to return to balance that included a strategic and operating review of Government spending of taxpayers' dollars (whose results will be reported on in Budget 2012). In what areas should we look for more efficient and effective spending? How can we better respect taxpayer dollars by ensuring they are not wasted on duplication, inefficient operating expenses, or programs that have outlived their usefulness? Has the enhancement of the Guaranteed Income Supplement helped you or someone you know?


Has your family benefitted from the new Children's Arts Tax Credit?


Do you support our Government's personal tax reductions which average over $3,000 per family of four?


Do you support our Government's reduction in tax rates for small and medium-sized businesses to 11%?


Do you support our Government's corporate tax reductions from 21.5% to 15%?


Do you support the Liberal/NDP/Bloc proposals to increase spending and raise taxes for individuals and businesses?


Do you think Tim Uppal and the Harper Government are on the right track for the budget?


Do you have other suggestions or comments? It is important to me that people in our community have a say on how their tax dollars are spent.
