He’s promising to make Ontario among the lowest corporate tax rate jurisdictions in North America, and to cut personal taxes 10 per cent after balancing the budget in 2016.
The local Liberal candidate said afterwards that Hudak’s promise to slash 100,000 public-sector jobs if elected June 12 would be devastating to communities.
