Trudeau Says Will Raise Corporate Tax on Largest Banks, Insurers if Re-Elected
18:05 GMT 25.08.2021 (Updated: 13:36 GMT 06.08.2022) TORONTO, (Sputnik) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday vowed to raise taxes on the country’s largest banks and insurance companies if he is re-elected given that affordability emerges as a key issue in the upcoming national election.
"We will raise the corporate income tax rate for Canada’s largest and most profitable banks and insurance companies by 3 percentage points on all earnings over a billion dollars", Trudeau said during a campaign stop in Vancouver.
When asked about how the increased rate would impact seniors, whose pension funds are usually invested in Canadian banks and other financial institutions,
Trudeau said financial institutions have made "extraordinary profits" during
the coronavirus pandemic and now is time to ask them to share the wealth.
Trudeau also said the elections allow Canadians to make decisions about how they wish to be governed. The statement came in response to a question about why this pledge came during an election and not sooner, while, simultaneously, taking a shot at rival New Democrats, who have called for additional levies on banks for months.
Canada is holding its 44th national election after Governor General Mary Simon accepted Trudeau’s request to dissolve parliament and hold a vote on September 20.
