Those tax cuts on the personal income tax level were 27% on average, 35% for families with children.</p>\n<p>This means that many of our low income families, 800,000 of which have been removed from the tax roles, are better off than they would be in the United States.</p>\n<p>However it is not just about taxes. It is about a balanced approach, tax cuts, paying down the debt and making those strategic investments in our future which are critical for all Canadians.</p>",
