The bill plans to temporarily lift the federal sales tax off a slew of items just in time for Christmas. The two-month tax break covers dozens of items, including children's clothes and toys, video games and consoles, Christmas trees, restaurant and catered meals, wine, beer, candy and snacks. It would take effect on Dec. 14 and run until Feb. 15, 2025. The government announced the plan as a way to ease affordability concerns during the holiday period. If this bill passes, are you more likely to buy things on the list of tax exempt items?

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who is a vocal advocate for cutting taxes, said earlier on Thursday that the GST break "isn't a tax cut." "This is an inflationary, two-month temporary tax trick that will drive up the cost of living," Poilievre said. During Thursday night's debate, Bloc MP Marilene Gill said the list of items exempted from the GST was "completely arbitrary" and it must have been drawn up on the fly. Green Party Leader Elizabeth May said the measure is "transparently a vote-buying scheme," but said she was struggling with how to vote because so many Canadians need help. Do you think this tax break is a vote buying scheme?

The bill, known as the "Tax Break for all Canadians Act," will now go to the Senate. Do you think it will be passed?
