What happened
NDP Leader David Eby announced a policy in British Columbia that introduces a new tax bracket for individuals earning over $1 million annually. The plan also proposes raising existing tax rates on the two highest income brackets, which the B.C. Conservatives say could lead to a two per cent increase for earners making as low as $190,405. The B.C. Conservatives criticized the proposal, stating it could drive doctors out of the province.
