UCP eyes flat tax, private health delivery in draft policies
EDMONTON – The United Conservative Party will hold its founding convention in May to hammer out its policy platform but in the meantime the party has released their draft proposals.
The ideas include a return to the 10 per cent flat tax scrapped by the NDP, along with reducing or cutting other taxes and scrapping the carbon levy.
The UCP says it will respect Canada’s publicly funded health system but will explore private delivery of services in the public system to improve care and reduce wait times.
The Notley government says the draft policy ideas are risky and would benefit the wealthy.
