Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) that
ended up hurting families.
The HST moved the onus for
providing for the country from the
backs of businesses to the backs of
“normal people”.
“They did all this in a time when
people are earning, with inflation,
the same amount they were earning
in 1991,” she said. “Meanwhile,
Chief Executive Officers, by 3 p.m.
on January 1 of any year, take home
the salary that these people make in
a year.”
She stated that policies and
changes would come that would put
people first.
Exact actions outlined by
Horwath included taking HST off
home heating and electrical bills,
supporting rural Ontario through
legislation, recreating the Green
Energy Act with the interest of
the farmers and residents at its
heart instead of companies and
repealing the decision that is leading
to the closure of the jail in
Walkerton.
Both stated that the Green Energy
Act focused too much on the
companies and businesses involved
and not enough on the people that
are to be affected.
Horwath stated that, as she had
been a community organizer before
she became a politician, she knew
the importance of listening to people
before making tough decisions, a
process that was absent from the
Green Energy Act.
“The government wanted
headlines,” she said. “The Green
Energy Act was all about private
dollars. We want to change whose
interest green energy is created in.”
Robertson agreed, stating that
community consultation was key,
and that, in saying that, he meant
more than a postcard being dropped
in people’s mail.
Robertson ran for the NDP during
the last Federal election in 2010
and came in second for the Huron-
Bruce riding, being beat out by
incumbent Progressive-Conserv-
ative Ben Lobb.
