Conservatives signal opposition to GST break and $250 cheques as Liberals seek support

It remains unclear which parties will support the measures, with the Bloc Québécois and NDP advocating for more cheque recipients
The article from The Globe and Mail discusses the Conservative Party of Canada's proposal to provide a GST break through direct cheques to Canadians, aiming to alleviate financial pressures due to inflation and rising living costs. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has criticized the current Liberal government's handling of the economy, particularly focusing on the carbon tax and its impact on fuel prices. The proposed GST break would see the tax rate reduced from 5% to 4%, with the difference returned to Canadians in the form of quarterly cheques. This initiative is part of a broader Conservative strategy to appeal to voters by offering immediate financial relief, contrasting with the Liberal government's approach of targeted benefits and subsidies. The article also mentions that this policy would require significant changes to the tax system and could face challenges in implementation and funding.
