“Promises made and kept …”
It has been just over a year that Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives swept into power with a resounding majority government victory. And Sault Ste. Marie was part of the winning team with the election of Ross Romano as its member of provincial parliament.
Now, according to Romano and the PC government, more than 250 initiatives have been implemented, including “charting a reasonable and responsible path to a balanced budget that protects the core services that the people of Sault Ste. Marie and people across Ontario rely on every day.
“Our government has been working day and night to restore trust in Ontario’s finances, invest in health care and education, and make Ontario open for business and open for jobs,” relayed Romano.
“We can proudly say, promises made, promises kept,” Romano emphasized.
According to Romano and the PCs, the Ontario government has delivered on a number of campaign commitments that has put money back in people’s pockets, including:
– Cancelling the punishing cap-and-trade carbon tax, saving the average family $260 a year and 4.3 cents a litre at the gas pumps.
– Ensuring minimum wage workers pay no personal income tax in Ontario, saving them up to $800 a year.
– Introducing one of the most flexible child-care tax credits for low-and middle-income families in Ontario’s history.
– Scrapping the outdated Drive Clean program and freezing driver and vehicle fees.
– Improving choice and convenience for consumers by expanding the sale of beer and wine to corner stores, big-box stores, and more grocery stores.
“Everything we do, we do for the people. We have an opportunity build for our future,” added Romano. “I look forward to continuing to work with our government to make life better for the people of Ontario and turn this province around.”
