441-02640 (Taxation)

WHEREAS:

• After 9 years of this current government, Canada is going through its worst decline in living standards in the last 40 years;

• This current government's high tax policies continue to drive investment out of Canada and leave Canadians worse off; and

• Job-killing taxes on health care, homebuilding, farmers and small businesses will leave Canada with fewer jobs, higher costs, and smaller pay cheques.

THEREFORE:

We, the undersigned citizens and permanent residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:

• Overhaul the tax system to make taxes low, simple, and fair;

• Reduce the share of taxes paid by the poor and middle class;

• Cut tax-funded corporate welfare and crack down on overseas tax havens; and

• Cut the paperwork and bureaucracy in the tax system by at least 20%.
