Green Party leader Jack MacDougall says his party's election platform is built on the legacy we are leaving and what we can do to improve that legacy.
MacDougall told a Board of Trade session late yesterday the Premier's promise of creating 20-thousand high paying jobs falls short of helping to pay down the deficit and won't work. He claims those jobs would only produce about ten thousand dollars in provincial taxes.
MacDougall says his party is also proposing to roll back planned corporate and personal income tax cuts for high income earners. He is also proposing reforms in forestry practices and will bring back tolls on the Trans-Canada Highway.
