‘Bay Street Budget’ Leaves Northwest Ontario Behind
HST & Payroll Tax Increase to Hit Consumers and Small Business Hard

March 4, 2010

OTTAWA – New Democrat Members of Parliament John Rafferty (Thunder Bay – Rainy River) and Bruce Hyer (Thunder Bay – Superior North) expressed disappointment in the federal Conservative government budget which they say is fiscally irresponsible, raises taxes, and neglects key economic sectors in Northwestern Ontario.

“The government has failed, again, to exercise fiscal responsibility and common sense when it comes to their budget process,” Rafferty said.  “To anyone wondering a $54 billion deficit will do for the people of Northwestern Ontario, the answer is not much.”  Hyer agreed, noting that the government continues to make the wrong decisions when it comes to taxation and job creation.  “This budget was crafted on Bay Street and it shows.  Banks are getting a huge tax break, but consumers and small business, especially in Northwestern Ontario are getting hammered with new tax increases.  This is not a budget that will help create jobs in Northwestern Ontario,” he said.
