It's way more then that:
If we have the money...
In 4/5 Years...
If we're still in power...
If Stephan Harper is still PM ('cause really do think the Tory leader in 2016 is going to feel obligated to uphold a Harper 2011 promise?)...
If your family has a significant income disparity...
If you have a kid...
If you haven't forgotten...
If we haven't forgotten...
If some unforeseen complication doesn't arise...
THEN you'll get a tax break. It's a promise so far off and riddled with conditions/limitations so as to be worthless. This year and next year... tell me about this year and next year not 2016. Honestly, if you really wanted to ease the tax burden on parents you'd be better served offering an expansion of the CTB that way you'd cover single parents and two income households as well as families with a stay-at-home parent.
