He's courting lower income voters who somehow have enough money to put in a higher ceiling TFSA.
That's a bold strategy, Cotton.

PP tripping over himself to (again) provide tax breaks to the rich.
You don't have to be rich to put money into a TFSA.
What percentage of Canadians have maxed out their TFSA contributions?
Edit: Looks like 4-5%, so this will only help the top 5% at most.
Devil's advocate: the better question is what percentage of Canadians will eventually max out their TFSA?
I don't think it's a good policy anyway, as the administrative overhead of managing yet another registered investing account (or making TFSA reporting more complicated) is more hassle than it's worth.
Agreed, how are they even going to track “invest in Canadian companies”?
One of my tfsa is in investments using wealthsimple.
They do report tax info so I guess that's one way.
Or, you would send the new tax forms with your proof of investment.
Still, it'e an all around stupid idea that nobody really needs.
Almost 10% of us live below the poverty line. Do you think we have the money to invest in a TFSA?
Don't worry, I hear is is planning to give people a 50% federal rebate on custom suits, maybe that will help you somehow.

You have to be doing reasonably well to max out your TFSA. It's like 7k for this year.
This will surely help the autoworkers and canola farmers!
