The federal government has rejected Conservative calls to waive taxes on severance pay for laid-off GM workers in Ingersoll.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre says the taxes are unfair and leave workers struggling after job losses.
The finance minister’s office says taxing severance is long-standing policy and carving out exemptions would undermine fiscal stability.
More than 1,200 workers lost their jobs after GM closed its CAMI plant.
