The above table is somewhat dated.

See here for instance:

Canada Tories to follow tax-cut, pro-business agenda

EXCERPT :

The Conservatives have long planned to cut the corporate tax rate to 15 percent next year from 16.5 percent. Their stated goal: to help business compete in a global market.

They say other tax breaks, including a family-friendly plan that will lower tax rates for couples with children, will follow once they eliminate a record-breaking budget deficit.
