Trudeau Says Ideological Tax Cuts Won’t Spur Canada Jobs

Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau said Canada’s government should abandon its “ideological” focus on tax cuts and instead boost infrastructure spending to help the country pull out of the worst job slump since the 2009 recession.

“They’re in a tax-cut box,” Trudeau said yesterday in an interview in his office in the nation’s main parliament building, referring to the ruling Conservative Party. “There’s nothing wrong with tax cuts, as long as they’re targeted toward helping the economy grow, helping people get jobs.”
