Question: "The Conservatives have disfigured the Canadian tax system, plundering it to enrich their political supporters and stripping it down so that it can't be used to create the kind of socially advanced society that Canadians aspire to. Undoing the damage won't be easy.

It will start with recognizing that the tax system is instrumental in any coherent plan to build the social programs and public infrastructure that are central to a truly democratic and inclusive society."

The quote - Robbing the poor to give to the rich (https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/robbing-the-poor-to-give-to-the-rich) keeps the new Prime Minister Trudeau up at night. As he is very busy, he wants you to write up in no more than 500 words what you think should be the first move in tax law and policy to be made by his government to start undoing the damage.

In addition, as he appreciates clear thinking, he wants your note to start with the policy option in tax law and policy that you recommend followed by counter-arguments against your policy option and then arguments for your policy option that address the counter-arguments before stating why now is the time to make that particular first move.

Moreover, as the new Prime Minister wants his government's response to be grounded on evidence, he wants you to argue your policy option in tax law and policy based on not only normative ideals but also empirical evidence, especially on the distributional outcomes.

Above is the question that needs to be addressed. The assignment should be done based upon Canadian government rather than U.S.
