Parliamentary Budget Officer Jean-Denis Fréchette appears before the committee as it begins its study of Bill C-2. Angella MacEwen, senior economist with the Canadian Labour Congress' social and economic policy department, and Charles Lammam, director of fiscal studies for the Fraser Institute, also share their viewpoints on the legislation. This bill will increase the personal income tax rates for earners in the top tax bracket, and will lower the personal income tax rates on earners in the second tax bracket.
