Retirement savings plan bill sparks high level bribery claims
NDP MP Max Saltsman accuses the government of high level bribery as it expands registered retirement savings plan contributions and eliminates the 10 percent surtax for incomes over 30 000. He argues higher income gains from tax benefits mock wage earners while the anti inflation program spares the rich. The bill raises annual RRSP ceilings to 3500 or 5500 from 2500 and adds child care deductions and small business incentives.
