To help northern residents and to help our northern economies grow, we will increase the residency component of the Northern Residents Deduction by 33 percent to a maximum of $22 per day [and] index this benefit so that it keeps pace with inflation.

Real Change: A New Plan For a Strong Middle Class (page 21)

" To help draw skilled labour to northern and isolated communities, Budget 2016 proposes to increase the maximum daily residency deduction to $22 from $16.50. This measure will be effective as of January 1, 2016 and is estimated to reduce federal revenues by about $255 million over the 2015–16 to 2020–21 period.
