Region 4 Executive Board Member Chris Cormier, Part of the National Union of Public and General Employees’ Writers 4 Change, had the following letter printed in the January 13 edition of the Toronto Sun:

Corporate tax cuts

There appears to be little chance the McGuinty government won’t make deep cuts in the next budget. It would also be very surprising if the Drummond commission doesn’t make similar recommendations. And of course a Tory MPP is already saying the government needs to cut deeper and faster. The problem is nobody knows what those cuts will be and how badly they’ll affect ordinary families. But if Drummond and the Liberals and Tories are going to cause all of us so much pain in the name of deficit reduction, then how can they leave the $3 billion in corporate tax cuts on the table? If they’re serious about deficit reduction they should stop the corporate gravy train and put the money towards our deficit and better services.
