McKay on the Income Tax Act - Bill C-33
Monday, May 14, 2007
What is obvious today is the minister has backed down from his position of all interest deductibility all the time to a microdot of interest deductibility. In two months from the budget, he has gone from two years, to ten years, to five years.

Conservative Government Incompetence
Thursday, May 10, 2007
The Conservatives' nonsensical interest deductibility decision, which prevents Canadian companies from competing on an even footing with their international competitors is, sadly, just the latest in a growing list--the GST cut,the income trust flip-flop, etc...-- of destructive economic policies implemented by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and this Conservative minority government.
The Tragedy of Mental Health on the Young

Mental illness affects people of all ages, but the affect of this illness on the young is particularly tragic.
McKay on Income Trusts and Income Deductibility
Friday, May 04, 2007
Will the Minister of Finance reverse course on income trusts and income deductibility before there is nothing left in Canada to sell?
McKay on C-10
Wednesday, May 02, 2007
I suggest that the cynical government's true intent in Bill C-10 is to create the illusion that it is taking effective measures with respect to making Canadian communities safer. In fact, this piecemeal, incoherent, punishment based obsession to crime is all about optics and nothing but optics.
McKay Challenges Government to Support the Global Malaria Drug Subsidy
Wednesday, April 25, 2007
Over one million children alone die of malaria each year. A city the size or Ottawa dies annually. This is an enormous loss of human potential and I urge the government to support the global malaria drug subsidy. It is simple and it is cost effective.
Conservatives turned Advantage Canada into Disadvantage Canada
Wednesday, April 18, 2007
These 3 polices (1) GST (2) Income Trusts and (3) interest deductibility are disastrous for Canada.
McKay on the Income Tax Act
Thursday, March 29, 2007
This is a Finance Minister and a Prime Minister run amok. Their budget was written by a pollster. If the “tax measure” doesn’t fit the 40% demographic, forget it, because they don’t care about the rest. This government is bad for people, it’s bad for provinces and its bad for business.
McKay on the Budget
Wednesday, March 28, 2007
Did Canadians notice the abandonment of the second cut in the GST? It is pushed so far off into the future that we will need field glasses to see it from here to there.
Engineers Without Borders - Petition: Official Development Assistance
Thursday, March 22, 2007
In the petition that I am tabling, the petitioners request that Parliament enact legislation to ensure that all Canadian development assistance contributes to poverty reduction, takes into account the perspectives of the poor, and is consistent with Canada's human rights obligations.
World Tuberculosis (TB) Day
Thursday, March 22, 2007
Although TB is primarily a disease of poverty, it exists even in the wealthiest of countries, including Canada. Global mobilization is crucial. The theme of this year's TB Day is “TB anywhere is TB everywhere”. It is time that TB is nowhere.

The Conservatives' Incompetence, Incoherence and Idiotic Publc Policy.
Thursday, February 15, 2007
The figure of $25 billion represents the biggest single loss to unit holders and shareholders on a Canadian stock exchange in one day. The figure of $5 billion represents the cost of a one per cent reduction in the GST. The figure of $0.5 billion represents the alleged tax leakage from income trusts.
