Our party has opposed the carbon tax right from day one. While the Liberals raise taxes, we continue to lower taxes. We reduced the cost of WSIB premiums by 50%, saving the business community $2.5 billion each and every year. We have put a capital cost write-off in that has saved the business community $1 billion a year. We continue to reduce the burden of red tape; 500 pieces have been reduced, saving almost $1 billion a year.
The carbon tax penalizes business. While the Liberals raise taxes, we continue to lower tax. We ask that we scrap the tax today.
