  • January 27, 2021 the Honourable Chrystia Freeland Deputy Prime
    January 27, 2021 The Honourable Chrystia Freeland Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance CC: The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of National Revenue The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Heritage Via email Dear Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Freeland, A group of artists and gig economy workers in my riding recently approached me to address what they see as a gap in our emergency support for self-employed workers. They explained several ways that the Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB) currently fails to support them as self-employed artists and/or gig economy workers, and suggested adjustments that would make the CRB more accessible. I hope that our government can continue to adapt and adjust our emergency supports, considering the following suggestions: 1. Lower the weekly income reduction threshold from 50% to 40% or even 30% For a number of valid reasons, in 2019 some of the artists in my riding earned well below their average yearly income. As a result, their weekly average for 2019—and 50% of that average— are very low, and almost any income in a week is enough to disqualify them from CRB. For example: • Artists’ incomes vary year-to-year, as projects come in at unpredictable times, and the income from one project often sustains people through multiple years. Consider a writer who publishes a book and/or receives a grant in one year, and does not for the next two or three—or a musician who goes on tour one year and spends the next year training • The unpredictable nature of gig work means that some years workers have unusually low income 2.

  • 2018 Election Report Card: Will the Trudeau Government Deliver on Its Raised Expectations?
    2018 ELECTION REPORT CARD: WILL THE TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT DELIVER ON ITS RAISED EXPECTATIONS? By Shane Mackenzie & Jesse Robichaud Three years on from 2015 – campaign strategists are turning their attention to the 2019 federal election. For Prime Minister Trudeau’s incumbent Liberals, the strategic path to re-election will look different than the party’s vault from third place to a resounding pan-Canadian victory last time. The Way Things Were The promise of hope and renewed confidence in government was palpable when voters turned out en masse to elect MPs from Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party. The mere idea that “better is always possible!” gained traction with an electorate whose expectations had been steadily managed downward by the Harper government’s “no nonsense” decade at the helm. A previously struggling Liberal voter base came to life when the party’s candidates and their leader framed their platform of “real change” promises as a return to openness, evidence-based policy, climate action, large-scale investment, reconciliation, equality, support for families, and diversity. The Way Things Are No good deed goes unpunished, and for Trudeau there will undoubtedly be a political price to pay for raising the bar for what voters should expect from their government. Indeed, the success standard set for Trudeau is higher than in some past elections. And he set it himself. Once the bar has been raised, it’s impossible to lower it again – and it’s also harder to clear it consistently, as we have seen with issues like electoral reform, climate policy, pipelines, and relations with provincial governments.
