And it was, Resolved, That the Legislative Assembly of Ontario recognizes that to make life easier for Ontario families and help our economy remain strong, Ontario's Tax Plan for Jobs and Growth as reaffirmed in the 2011 Budget removes 90,000 Ontarians from the income tax rolls, provides 93 per cent of Ontarians with a permanent personal income tax cut, maintains the Harmonized Sales Tax at the current rate and provides $12 billion in tax relief for families and $4.8 billion in tax relief for businesses; And recognizes that with Ontario's Tax Plan for Jobs and Growth, the economy is turning the corner by creating more than 293,000 new jobs since the global recession; And rejects the introduction of a carbon tax as a measure that would hurt Ontario's economic growth; And rejects an increase to the HST rate or a decrease to the rate that would benefit the wealthiest Ontarians the most, take $3 billion out of healthcare and education funding and harm Ontario's economic recovery. | |||
