11月8日，加拿大联邦国际贸易、出口促进、小企业及经济发展部长伍凤仪（Mary Ng）在万锦市世纪皇宫大酒楼与华文媒体举行了圆桌会谈，概述了联邦政府的减轻生活负担计划，这一计划要为最脆弱的群体提供更定向的支持，同时要降低我们的赤字，缩减我们的债务。这是一个财政上负责任的计划，它将让生活更易于负担、促进经济增长、并创造今天和明天的高收入就业。士嘉堡-爱静阁区国会议员叶嘉丽（Jean Yip）、列治文山国会议员马万里（Majid Jowhari）也一同出席了圆桌会谈。

在最近的《2022年秋季经济报告》中，加拿大政府出台了继续稳健治理经济、扶持加拿大人的计划。为了帮助民众家庭应对生活成本的上涨，如超市收银台前的价格上涨，联邦政府正在向最需要帮助的加拿大人提供有针对性的扶持，包括：为1100万符合条件的加拿大人将GST税务抵免增加一倍；加强加拿大工作人士补助，以向420万加拿大人提供支援；并为今天和明天的毕业生提供永久免息的联邦学生和学徒贷款。为了支持小企业，联邦政府已经制定了一项减低信用卡手续费并投资可持续就业的计划。

联邦政府也正在推进让住房更易于负担的综合计划，包括帮助人们为购房而储蓄，帮助家庭成长，方便他们多代同堂。而且，政府还提出了一个雄心勃勃的计划，要加强工业，打造一个繁荣的净零经济，为加拿大人提供机会和就业。

事实简要

1.减轻生活负担

永久取消联邦学生贷款和学徒贷款的利息；

创立一个新的、按季发放的“加拿大工作人士补助”（Canada Workers Benefit），自动预付款项，使更多的钱尽快返回我们最低工资工人的口袋里；

落实联邦政府关于让住房更易于负担之计划的关键支柱，包括创立全新的“首套住房免税储蓄账户”（Tax-Free First Home Savings Account）、将“首次购房者税务抵免”（First-Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit）翻倍，并确保翻炒住房者支付他们的公平份额；

为小企业降低信用卡交易手续费。

2.投资就业、经济增长、以及惠及所有人的经济

启动新的“加拿大增长基金”（Canada Growth Fund），这将有助于为加拿大带来数十亿元之新的私营投资，推进减少本国的污染排放，增长我们的经济，并创造良好的就业机会。

出台针对清洁技术和清洁氢能的重大投资税务抵免，这将有助于创造良好的就业机会，推进加拿大成为净零排放转型的领导者，如果企业满足某些劳工保护条件，还将获得更多的税务抵免，以此激励企业为工人提供高薪酬。

对加拿大的上市公司的股票回购实施新的税收；

创建“可持续就业培训中心”，并投资工会培训和创新计划的新的可持续就业流程，让工人们具备今天和未来之优良就业所需的技能。

引述：

万锦-康山区国会议员、国际贸易、出口促进、小企业及经济发展部长伍凤仪（Mary Ng）阁下：

“我们的秋季经济报告概述了一个造福所有加拿大人的计划。这是一个在财政上负责任的计划，要减轻生活负担、推动经济增长、并为今天和明天创造高薪的就业。加拿大人可以有信心，我们联邦政府将继续向最脆弱的群体提供有针对性的扶持，同时也将降低我们的赤字。”

士嘉堡-爱静阁区国会议员叶嘉丽（Jean Yip）：

“我们正在通过取消联邦层面之学生贷款的利息，出台新的每季度加拿大工作人士补助，以及将GST税务抵免的支付额翻倍，使那些最需要帮助的人们能够承担生活费用的负担。为了应对任何潜在的经济不确定性，我们已经拨出6000万加元，为工人们设立一个新的快速应变基金，以支持现有的劳动力市场计划。”

列治文山国会议员马万里（Majid Jowhari）：

“在疫情大流行期间，联邦政府出台了必要的救援措施，以确保我们每个人都有托底。通过此次秋季经济报告，我们联邦政府将继续为最需要帮助的加拿大人提供人性化的、有针对性的扶持。这些政策起到了作用。10月份，由于加拿大工作人士和工商业的辛勤工作，加拿大新增了11万9000个就业岗位，这意味着与疫情爆发时相比，今天有51.3万更多的加拿大人找到了工作。我们的失业率接近历史最低点。事实上，加拿大现在已经以117%的幅度超额恢复了自疫情大流行以来的就业损失。虽然加拿大经济证面临全球性的逆境，但加拿大企业还在招人，因为他们对我国经济的基本实力有信心。”

Minister Ng highlights the government’s plan to build an economy that works for everyone

In the recent 2022 Fall Economic Statement, the Government of Canada highlighted its plan to continue its sound stewardship of the economy and to be there for Canadians. To help familiescope with increasing costs, like rising prices at the checkout counter, the government isdelivering targeted support to the Canadians who need it the most, including by: doubling theGST Credit for 11 million eligible Canadians; enhancing the Canada Workers Benefit to support4.2 million Canadians; and making federal student and apprentice loans permanently interest freefor the graduates of today and tomorrow. To support small businesses, there is a plan in place toreduce credit card fees and invest in sustainable jobs.

The government is also moving forward with its comprehensive plan to make housing more affordable, including by helping people save to buy a home and helping families to grow, their homes to be multigenerational. And it lays out an ambitious plan to strengthen industry and build a thriving net-zero economy with opportunities and jobs for Canadians.

At a roundtable in Markham, Minister Ng outlined the affordability plan which provides more targeted support to the most vulnerable while bringing down our deficit and shrinking our debt. This is a fiscally responsible plan to make life more affordable and grow the economy to create good-paying jobs for today and for tomorrow.

Quotes:

“Our Fall Economic Statement outlines a plan that works for all Canadians. This is a fiscally responsible plan to make life more affordable and grow the economy to create good-paying jobs for today and for tomorrow. Canadians can be confident that our government will continue deliver targeted supports to the most vulnerable, while also bringing down our deficit.”

Honourable Mary Ng, MP for Markham-Thornhill, Minister of International Trade, Export Promotion, Small Business and Economic Development

“We are keeping life affordable for those who need it most by eliminating interest on federal student loans, initiating a new quarterly Canada Workers Benefit, and doubling the GST tax credit payment. To prepare for any potential economic uncertainties, we have set aside $60 million to create a new rapid response fund for workers to support existing labour market programs.”

Jean Yip, MP for Scarborough-Agincourt

“During the pandemic, the government put in place necessary relief programs to make sure we have everybody’s back. With the Fall Economic Statement, our government will continue to be there with compassionate, targeted support for Canadians who need it most. These policies worked. In October, thanks to the hard work of Canadian workers and businesses, Canada gained 119,000 jobs which means there are 513,000 more Canadians working today than before Covid first hit. Our unemployment rate is near its record low. In fact, Canada has now recovered 117% of the jobs lost since the start of the pandemic. While the Canadian economy is facing global headwinds, Canadian businesses are hiring, as they have confidence in the fundamental strength of our economy.”

Majid Jowhari, MP for Richmond Hill
