Ahead of events in both Osoyoos and Penticton on Saturday, April 5, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has announced via press release a plan to eliminate 25 percent of all red tape within his first two years if he is elected as Canada's next prime minister.
"This will significantly ease the administrative burden on taxpayers and businesses, waking up our economy from the red tape-induced slumber it has been in after a Lost Liberal Decade," stated the release.
Poilievre also wants to introduce a ‘two-for-one’ law, which would mandate two regulations be repealed for every new one imposed.
Additionally, the Conservative leader stated that for every $1 in new administrative costs, $2 must be cut elsewhere to relieve the government burden that makes it harder for Canadian businesses to compete globally.
“Yesterday, we learned of massive job losses in March and Liberal Mark Carney has no plan to reverse them. With jobs fleeing heavy Liberal taxes and red tape to the United States, he is doubling down on the policies that caused the problem, pledging just days ago to keep the No-Pipelines-No-Development Law C-69 in place," said Poilievre. "That will give our resources and jobs to the Americans."
Poilievre's upcoming appearances in the Okanagan on Saturday are his first since the writ dropped for the upcoming election. He will be at South Okanagan Concrete Products in Osoyoos at 10:30 a.m. and 1704 Government Street in Penticton at 4 p.m., with doors opening at 3:30 p.m.
