Thank you.

The Democrats oppose schedule 4 in the following terms:

(13)  Schedule 4, item 4, page 52 (lines 13 and 14), TO BE OPPOSED.

This amendment opposes the increase of the tax deductable threshold. We regard the present threshold as sufficient. Until such time as a principle is applied to all not-for-profit entities on the same basis and with better justification than the government has advanced, we believe that this policy is not warranted.
