At the beginning of this year we first put in place the middle class tax cut - because we know when middle class Canadians have more money in their pockets to save, invest, and grow the economy, we all benefit. We cut the middle income tax bracket to 20.5 percent from 22 percent – a seven percent reduction. This tax relief is worth up to $670 per person, per year – or $1,340 for a two- income household. In July, families started receiving the Canada Child Benefit. Right now, it’s helping lift 300,000 kids out of poverty. Parents now receive more money, tax-free, to help with the high cost of raising their kids. And this fall, we are strengthening the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) to provide a more secure retirement and better quality of life for Canadians. Strengthening the CPP not only provides retirement security for more Canadians, it creates jobs and has a positive, long-term effect on the Canadian economy. We are making historic investments in infrastructure, including social infrastructure, that will promote inclusive growth, improve access to affordable housing, and build stronger communities. We’re committed to making life better for each and every Canadian family, with a long term vision to grow the middle class and create a strong economy for future generations. Canada Child Benefit Lowered taxes for the middle class Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram You and your family need reliable, convenient, and effective infrastructure to reach your full potential at work, at school, and in your social life. That’s why we’re investing for you and your family here in Hastings—Lennox and Addington. Water and wastewater infrastructure is essential to keeping our water clean and our communities healthy and livable. This will improve the safety and quality of water for Canadian families, while supporting a clean economy. Here in our riding, MP Mike Bossio was pleased to announce funding for the Town of Deseronto to upgrade and renew the Deseronto Water Treatment Plant, with the federal and provincial governments each contributing $2,448,333, and the municipality and the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte each contributing $1,224,000. Deseronto Mayor Clark noted that “this has saved the town. If we hadn’t got the grant I didn’t know what we were going to do. We were running out of water. This will provide development for the town, and help with our neighbours, the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte. This solves a lot of problems.” Also announced for the Municipality of Marmora and Lake was funding for a project to replace the Marmora Sewage Forcemain, with the federal and provincial governments each contributing $236,538. “The Government of Canada is committed to working closely with provincial and municipal governments to support the needs of smaller rural municipalities,” said Bossio. “These investments across the country will ensure that small municipalities have infrastructure that is supportive of economic prosperity, strong communities, and a clean environment.” Investing in our community Safe drinking water and efficient wastewater systems Find a list of Phase 1 infrastructure projects here: www.infrastructure.gc.ca/pt-sp/ptt-tsp-eng.html MORE THAN $2.6 MILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDS FOR OUR RIDING Mike joined municipal leaders and staff from Deseronto, Marmora and Lake, and Chief R.
