Well, just a few changes that impact me personally:
- Cut the GST twice
- Implemented the Universal Child Care Benefit
- Implemented the Tax Free Savings Account
- Increased the basic personal tax exemption
I am also pleased with how the government has paid down the debt, handled Afghanistan and arctic sovereignty. He hasn't done as much to fight crime as I would like - but made a good start, with things like tougher sentences on street racing.
