Bill C-45 aims to spur growth with wide omnibus economic plan
Medicine Hat MP LaVar Payne promotes Bill C-45 as part of the federal Economic Action Plan 2012. The Jobs and Growth Act covers tax credits for small business, cross border travel, grain farming fees relief, and clean energy investment, while facing criticism for broad scope including Navigable Waters reform. Payne says the bill improves pensions, Disability Savings Plans, and Canada Pension Plan administration, with aims to satisfy Canadians.
