Asper Promises Tax Cut If Liberals Win Manitoba
Liberal leader Izzy Asper promised Manitoba a sales tax cut in his party platform, including removing tax on necessities and lowering the rest to 3 percent. He projected a $35 million direct saving in year one and argued the tax cut would spur economic growth, offset by natural growth of about $120 million annually. He also backed a $200 monthly minimum for seniors and a work-for-welfare plan, while criticizing other parties’ approaches to welfare and taxation.
