I don't think anyone is arguing against contribution room in general, it's just a question of balancing value with affordability. RRSP defer government tax revenue until they are cashed, but TFSA eliminate it altogether so there is a significant cost in terms of lost taxes. Is that money better spent (or in this case not collected) for a relatively small number of people who can take full advantage of TFSAs or on other programs/cuts that benefit more people?
