Ontario PC Leader Hudak Meets with CUCC Members

On November 3, Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak met with members of the Canada-Ukraine Chamber of Commerce to discuss the impact of Dalton McGuinty’s high taxes, red tape and hydro bills on families and businesses. Hudak also discussed three key priorities the Ontario PC Caucus is focusing on this fall.

These priorities are defending the family budget, fighting Dalton McGuinty’s costly energy schemes and eliminating government waste. Hudak asked the Ukrainian business leaders for their advice on these and other important issues. “The Ontario PC Caucus understands that we get the best advice straight from families. That’s why we launched our Have Your Say, Ontario survey. We know families don’t have an endless ability to pay for new taxes and new fees to fund runaway government spending, and so we’re looking for their best advice on what kinds of relief work best for them,” said Hudak.

Have Your Say, Ontario is the largest survey of its kind in Ontario. The survey asks a series of 54 questions seeking advice on how we can best provide families with real tax relief, focus government on the services that matter most, and create good, private sector jobs. The Ontario PC Leader encouraged the Ukrainian community to participate in the Ontario PC Caucus survey at www.HaveYourSayOntario.ca

Hudak also discussed ideas contained in his private member’s bill, the Newcomers Employment Opportunities Act, which will help New Canadians find employment and create jobs. “I believe we must do more to restore Ontario’s culture of opportunity that has attracted so many families from around the world to Ontario. This requires a realistic and affordable plan to grow our economy and create jobs that are based on a level playing field where everybody gets a fair chance,” said Hudak.
