John Fraser — Whereas, Ontario is in an affordability crisis, making it increasingly difficult for families to pay their monthly bills; and Whereas, Ontario businesses are struggling to stay afloat faced with U.S. tariffs; and Whereas, the Premier promised to provide Ontarians with an income tax cut over 7 years ago and has failed to deliver; Therefore, in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should make life more affordable for Ontario workers, families, and small businesses by reducing the tax rate for Ontario’s second income tax bracket from 9.15% to 7.15%, eliminating the provincial portion of the HST on home heating and hydro bills, and cutting the small business tax rate in half. Addressed to the Premier. | |
