Tax fairness
Green's promises
"Increase the corporate tax rate from 14% to 21% for businesses with profits over $100 million ($44 billion in revenue)." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Introduce a permanent Windfall Tax (Excess Profit Tax) on large corporations, including banks, grocery chains and fossil fuel companies, to prevent profiteering at the expense of Canadians. This tax will apply at a rate of 15% on profits exceeding 120% of a company’s average profits over the previous four years, ensuring that large corporations contribute fairly when they generate excessive gains." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Implement a 0.35% Financial Transactions Tax (Tobin Tax) on trades involving stocks, bonds, derivatives, and currencies. This measure will help curb speculative trading practices that destabilize markets and generate significant revenue for social, economic, and environmental programs."
"Implement a progressive wealth tax on net wealth above $10 million. The tax would apply at a rate of 1% on net wealth over $10 million, 2% on net wealth over $50 million, and 3% on net wealth over $100 million. This policy would impact only .5% of Canadian households." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Strengthen Canada’s exit tax to prevent the ultra-wealthy from avoiding taxes by moving assets abroad. We will apply a net wealth-based exit tax of 35% on assets over $10 million for individuals renouncing Canadian tax residency, ensuring those who have benefited the most from Canada’s economy must contribute significantly before leaving. Loopholes that allow tax avoidance through corporate structures and exempt assets will also be closed." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Ensure fair taxation of extreme capital gains by applying a progressive tax only to profits over $10 million. To prevent wealthy investors from avoiding taxes indefinitely, we will also limit the ability to deduct past investment losses to a maximum of 10 years." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Revise Canada’s Select Luxury Items Tax Act to eliminate the “lesser of” rule and apply a flat luxury tax rate (e.g., 10% or higher on the full purchase price).
» Increase the tax rates for extreme wealth purchases (e.g., higher rates for private jets and superyachts.)
» Close corporate loopholes that allow businesses to buy these assets to avoid the Select Luxury Items Tax.
» Exempt Canadian-made commercial and recreational vessels from the Select Luxury Items Tax, to support small manufacturers and coastal industries."
— Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Close stock options and capital gains tax loopholes, which primarily benefit wealthy executives." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"End off shore tax evasion by taxing hidden funds and requiring proof of foreign business operations." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Review and phase out corporate subsidies that fail to deliver proven economic, environmental, or social benefits, with priority given to eliminating subsidies that:
» Distort markets without improving public well-being.
» Contribute to corporate concentration of key industries.
» Benefit large corporations disproportionately over small businesses and workers.
» Are provided to corporations with majority foreign ownership, particularly U.S.-based firms, undermining Canadian economic sovereignty.
» Fail to pass a cost-benefit analysis."
— Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Increase transparency on business subsidies by mandating full public reporting on corporate tax benefits, grants, and loans — including which corporations receive them and their economic impact." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
Biography
Currently, I serve as a Service Director for Air Canada, where my commitment to excellence and love for a job well done shines through. My dedication to community service is evident in my past role on the Francophone Committee for Pride Toronto, advocating for greater awareness and inclusivity. I also volunteered for Rainbow Railroads; a not-for-profit organization that helps members of the LGBTQ+ communities escape countries where they risk persecution du to their sexual orientation or gender identity.
As a volunteer speaker for GRIS-Montréal, I work tirelessly to demystify sexual orientation and gender identity stereotypes in schools, fostering an environment of understanding and acceptance. My extensive travels, spanning over 40 countries, have broadened my perspective, allowing me to appreciate the opportunities we have here and the changes needed to make our world a better place.
As your Member of Parliament, I pledge to listen attentively to the needs and aspirations of the people in my riding, channelling all my energy into driving the bold changes necessary for a safe and sustainable future. From housing affordability to a fairer voting system, we should never limit our ambitions.
Together, we can create a future where sustainability, justice, and compassion are at the core of our society. Join me on this journey to make a meaningful difference for our children and future generations.
Je suis actuellement directeur de bord chez Air Canada, où mon engagement envers l’excellence et mon amour du travail bien fait transparaissent. Mon dévouement à la communauté est visible grâce à mes rôles passés au sein du Comité francophone de Pride Toronto, où j’ai plaidé pour une plus grande sensibilisation et inclusion. J’ai également fait du bénévolat pour Rainbow Railroads, un organisme à but non lucratif qui aide les membres de la communauté LGBTQ+ à fuir les pays où ils risquent la persécution due à leur orientation sexuelle ou à leur identité de genre.
En tant qu’intervenant bénévole pour GRIS-Montréal, je travaille sans relâche pour démystifier les stéréotypes liés à l’orientation sexuelle et à l’identité de genre dans les écoles, favorisant ainsi un environnement de compréhension et d’acceptation. Mes nombreux voyages, dans plus de 40 pays, ont élargi ma perspective, me permettant d’apprécier les possibilités qui s’offrent à nous ici et les changements nécessaires pour faire de notre monde un endroit meilleur.
En tant que député, je m’engage à écouter attentivement les besoins et les aspirations des gens de ma circonscription, en canalisant toute mon énergie pour favoriser les changements audacieux nécessaires à un avenir sûr et durable. De l’abordabilité des logements à un système électoral plus équitable, nous ne devons pas limiter nos ambitions.
Ensemble, nous pouvons créer un avenir où la durabilité, la justice et la compassion sont au cœur de notre société. Joignez-vous à moi dans ce voyage pour faire une différence significative pour nos enfants et les générations futures.
