Last month, the Liberals announced their intention to hike taxes on local businesses and doctors and farmers.

Since then, countless Canadians have spoken out about how unfair this Liberal tax grab is.

And it’s easy to see why.

These changes could:

Make it harder to find a family doctor.

Increase health care wait times.

Make life harder for farmers.

Result in layoffs.

Discourage young people from starting their own businesses.

Make Canadian businesses uncompetitive.

What people are saying:
“This is just one more way to discourage entrepreneurship, on top of all the tax increases in the past two years.” Jack M. Mintz

President’s Fellow, University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy

“The Liberal tax plan is hardly about fairness.”Randall Denley

Columnist

“What the government will do here is stifle entrepreneurs who have been the backbone of Canada’s growth.”Kim Moody

Director, Moodys Gartner Tax Law

“The more you get into [these proposed rules], the more you analyze them, the more you look at them, the more problematic they are.”Michael Cadesky

Co-chairman, STEP Canada's public policy committee

“If adopted, these changes would mean a dramatic tax hike for millions of Canadians and impact countless small business.”Aaron Wudrick

Canadian Taxpayers Federation

“If implemented, these proposals would create uncertainty for physicians and make it difficult for doctors to plan for their clinics, staff, and equipment, and ultimately, provide dedicated services to their patients.”Dr. Shawn Watley

President, Ontario Medical Association

“It’s pretty clear to me that this has a significant potential to increase the tax burden facing family farms, and more than anything, increasingly complicate intergenerational farm transfers.”Scott Ross

Canadian Federation of Agriculture

It’s simple: this is another Liberal tax grab designed to make Canadians pay for the government’s out-of-control spending habits and legacy of deficits!
Conservatives support policies that reduce the tax burden for local businesses, reduce government red tape and allow entrepreneurs to create jobs in their communities.

Our previous Conservative government created a low tax, competitive business environment to drive investment and create hundreds of thousands of private sector jobs.

Conservatives believe taxes should be lower for Canadians: for businesses, families, and individuals. This is the core of a Conservative vision to create prosperity and opportunity for everyone.
