My wife, Veena and I have lived in the same house that we moved to when we came to Canada thirty years ago where we have raised our two sons. As a Conservative candidate for Halifax West I will work towards introducing changes that make a real difference in the lives of Canadian families. Just recently, the Conservative government announced three new initiatives to help parents and their children. These are: Establishing a new Children’s Arts Tax Credit, worth an estimated $150 million annually, to encourage greater participation by children in arts activities. Extending the benefit of the existing Children’s Fitness Tax Credit and the new Children’s Art Tax Credit to lower-income families that pay little or no income tax, by making both credits fully refundable. Expanding the Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) to allow charities and not-for-profit organizations to establish RESPs for children from low-income families in partnership with parents. These new policies will give breaks to families and will make arts and fitness programs accessible to all families, including families where financial costs impose real barriers.   In addition, our Prime Minister Stephen Harper also announced another step in the Conservative party’s economic plan to deliver practical help to hard-working families. If re-elected, a new Conservative Government will give first-time homebuyers a tax credit for up to $5,000 of the closing costs on the purchase of a new home.   This will make home ownership more affordable for families and at the same time help create jobs. Many first-time homebuyers are surprised by the long list of closing costs, including land transfer taxes, inspection fees, appraisal fees, and legal fees.  These can amount to between 1.5 per cent and 4 per cent of the purchase price.  The tax credit will help first-time homebuyers to avoid stretching too far beyond their budget to meet these unexpected costs.   The Conservative government has already taken measures to support Canadian families, including the cuts to the GST from 7 to 6 to 5 %, the $100-per-month child-care benefit, the $2,000 tax credit for children under 18, and the newly-established Tax-Free Savings Account.   It is a time of global economic uncertainty and our government is doing what it can to protect our standard of living for families, for first-time homebuyers, and for all Canadians. If elected I will commit to expand opportunities for families in Halifax West. A re-elected Conservative Government will implement more changes that are practical and affordable and will deliver real results for Canadian families.   PQW_‚Š˜›Км d j ‡ Ж С х ђ ј & v ‰ м о я  … ‹ )ŠљLW\_`k~  5>ILОРСЋ­ясясяаяаяПяПсПяЎяПяПЎПППППаЎаПс‰асааааЎа&h)Xh№rє5CJOJQJ\^JaJ h)Xh№rєCJOJQJ^JaJ h)Xh)XCJOJQJ^JaJ h)Xh%sкCJOJQJ^JaJ h)Xh€‰CJOJQJ^JaJh:>уCJOJQJ^JaJ h)Xh\=ЏCJOJQJ^JaJ6v w ї ј • d & ' м о ')їљ СТ­Џњњњњђђђээњњњњњњњњњњњgd%sк & Fgd№rєgd№rєЏ§­Џя h)Xh№rєCJOJQJ^JaJ,1hАа/ Ар=!А"А# $ %ААаАа а†œ@@ёџ@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DAђџЁD Default Paragraph FontRiѓџГR  Table Normalі4ж l4жaі (kєџС(No ListЏ џџџџvwїј•d&'мо')їљ С Т ­ Б ˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜ 0€€˜ 0€€€˜ 0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€˜0€€˜0€˜0€€˜0€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€•dмо')їљ ­ Б Zб0ЂZб0ЂZб00ЂZб0Ђš@0€€€š@0€€€š@0€€€š@0€€€š@0€€€š@0€€€š@0€€€š@0€€€­Џ Џ Џ џџ8ЭЬš9ЭlQcЃЃБ ЉЉБ 9*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€place€B*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€country-region€ T‘4Y^Б Б PQW_djЖСv‰LWk~  Р ~ … Ќ Ў Ў Б Б   "$DюtџџџџџџџџџЊTє>рЮH}џџџџџџџџџ„а„˜ўЦа^„а`„˜ўCJOJQJo(‡hˆHЗ№ „ „˜ўЦ ^„ `„˜ў‡hˆH. „p„˜ўЦp^„p`„˜ў‡hˆH. „@ „˜ўЦ@ ^„@ `„˜ў‡hˆH. „„˜ўЦ^„`„˜ў‡hˆH. „р„˜ўЦр^„р`„˜ў‡hˆH. „А„˜ўЦА^„А`„˜ў‡hˆH. „€„˜ўЦ€^„€`„˜ў‡hˆH. „P„˜ўЦP^„P`„˜ў‡hˆH.„а„˜ўЦа^„а`„˜ўCJOJQJo(‡hˆHЗ№ „ „˜ўЦ ^„ `„˜ў‡hˆH. „p„˜ўЦp^„p`„˜ў‡hˆH. „@ „˜ўЦ@ ^„@ `„˜ў‡hˆH. „„˜ўЦ^„`„˜ў‡hˆH. „р„˜ўЦр^„р`„˜ў‡hˆH. „А„˜ўЦА^„А`„˜ў‡hˆH. „€„˜ўЦ€^„€`„˜ў‡hˆH. „P„˜ўЦP^„P`„˜ў‡hˆH.  "T§4 ўЊTє> §4 ўџџџџ€50QЎь0вc„ T„Њ0Щ0„ џџџџЂ“ўЪ0е? —i„ „ џџџџ @Š05­ ќ —9'ЭŠ05bpt<—9'бWX~­ ќ х у№rєџ@€uuLЅ)uuЏ `@џџUnknownџџџџџџџџџџџџG‡z €џTimes New Roman5€Symbol3& ‡z €џArial"qŠ№аhuЪ†uЪ†Ўс .Ўс .!№ ДДr4dЁ Ё 2ƒQ№HX)№џ?фџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџ№rє2џџ‹OTTAWA  Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced new tax breaks and savings initiatives to expand opportunities for Canadian childrenUserUser  ўџр…ŸђљOhЋ‘+'Гй0№˜,8HT`p €Œ Ќ И ФаиршфŒOTTAWA – Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced new tax breaks and savings initiatives to expand opportunities for Canadian childrenUserNormalUser2Microsoft Office Word@FУ#@Цv.–$Щ@Цv.–$ЩЎсўџеЭеœ.“—+,љЎ0t hp|„Œ” œЄЌД М Tф.
