Today, Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak officially released changebook – the Ontario PC Party’s commitment to hardworking families to provide them with relief and move our province forward.

changebook is the result of extensive consultations with Ontario families and PC Party members. The three pillars of changebook are: change that means more money in the pockets of hardworking Ontario families, change that guarantees the services you need, like health and education; and change to clean up government and eliminate waste, fraud and secret deals.

Hudak said this election offers Ontario families choice: a choice between higher taxes and tax relief; a choice between a party that knows that hydro costs have grown out of control and one that thinks that Ontario families have an unlimited ability to pay more; and a choice between a party that understands what it’s like to struggle to make ends meet and a government that is out of touch.

QUOTES

–Tim Hudak, Ontario PC Leader

“Ontario families have looked back at the last eight years and said ‘enough’. They’re saying it’s time for a change.

changebook delivers Ontario families the relief they need, the hope they deserve and the time together they want.”

–Tim Hudak, Ontario PC Leader

QUICK FACTS

• A Tim Hudak government will change the tax system to allow all couples to share up to $50,000 of their income for tax purposes. A typical middle class family earning $70,000 will save $476 per year.
• To give families additional tax relief and to spur economic growth, a Tim Hudak government will lower income taxes by 5% on the first $75,000 of taxable income. This will put $258 back in the pocket of a taxpayer earning $70,000 each and every year when our tax relief plan is fully implemented.
