Getting rid of that "boutique" tax credit was one of the few smart fiscal moves Trudeau has done since getting in power.  It was a waste of money that did little/nothing to accomplish any goal while complicating the tax system.  Harper brought it in as a pure vote-buying measure for cities and especially suburbs where he needed support.

Sadly Trudeau has been, at best, one steps forward one step backward with regards to these "boutique" tax credits.  Getting rid of this one and the child fitness tax credits were good ideas, re-introducing the labour sponsored venture capital credit was dumb and creating the new teachers tax credit was incredibly stupid (for many reasons, not the least of which that teachers ALREADY HAD a tax credit for the exact same purpose).
