TORONTO — Today, Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak launched the Ontario PC election campaign, promising to bring change and deliver much needed relief for Ontario families after eight years of Dalton McGuinty’s tax hikes, expensive energy experiments, wasteful spending and secret deals.

Hudak outlined the change his party would bring, through changebook, to provide relief for families and make Ontario the job creation engine of Canada. The three pillars of changebook are:

• Change to put 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 that have become the trademark of the McGuinty Liberals.

On October 6th, Ontario families face a clear choice. They can choose four more years of Dalton McGuinty, who will continue to raise taxes and waste their money, and refuse to stand up for the things we believe in. Or they can choose a Tim Hudak government that will bring the change and relief they deserve.

QUOTES:

“The Ontario PC Party is the only party that will offer the change and relief families need. Dalton McGuinty will raise your taxes again unless he is stopped, and the NDP will offer even more of the same – tax hikes we can’t afford.”
– Tim Hudak, Ontario PC Leader

“The choice on October 6th is clear. You can choose more tax increases, more experiments with your money, and more of your money wasted on bureaucracy and abuse. Or you can join with families across our province to elect the Ontario PC Party, to provide families with the tax and hydro bill relief they need and to bring change to Ontario.”
– Tim Hudak, Ontario PC Leader

QUICK FACTS:

A Tim Hudak government will provide needed relief to Ontario families by:

• Removing the HST and the Debt Retirement Charge from home hydro bills and the HST from home heating bills to give the typical household $275 in annual relief;
• Ending mandatory smart meter time-of-use pricing;
• Lowering income tax rates by 5% on the first $75,000 of taxable income, saving a middle-class taxpayer $258 annually; and
• Allowing couples to share their income for tax purposes, saving a typical middle-class family $476 a year.
