Amid campaigns to loosen nicotine pouch rules, Canada’s health minister responds - CTV News

BC NDP Leader David Eby is campaigning in Victoria on Monday, but an announcement he made on Sunday is generating a lot of reaction. Eby announced that if his party is re-elected, he will introduce a new tax bracket for those who earn $1 million or more to help pay for health care. “We’re glad when people are successful; it’s fantastic,” Eby said. “We cheer for them; we want them to be successful. And it’s also right to ask people who earn a little bit more to pitch in in a moment like this, when people across the province need those strong public services.”Documents provided by the party say that the proposed changes would start in the 2027 tax year and are projected to raise $225 million in 2026/27, $925 million the next year, and $1 billion in the year after that.
