Conservative leadership hopeful Maxime Bernier outlined an income tax reform aiming to tax between 15 000 and 100 000 dollar earners at 15 percent while eliminating boutique credits he said would cost 30 to 35 billion in revenue over time. He proposed two brackets 0 to 15 000 exempt and over 100 000 taxed at 25 percent and vowed gradual phasing to balance the budget within two years if elected. He cited Mulroney era reforms and urged targeted cuts including eliminating credits like moving expenses unless shown to serve public policy goals.
