The party’s platform includes a promise to cut the provincial sales tax to five per cent from eight and to institute a flat income tax of 10 per cent.
Party president Gary Marshall says lower tax rates would boost the economy and create jobs.
The party is already lining up candidates and has an interim leader in Taz Stuart, who used to head the City of Winnipeg’s mosquito-fighting program.
Other prospective candidates include former Liberals Joe Chan and Bob Axworthy, as well as local child welfare advocate Kim Edwards.
