The following is a release sent out by the N.S. PC Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HALIFAX: As a province, we need to start investing more in ourselves. We have capable and talented people and organizations. At the same time, everyone wants higher pay, and every employer would love to pay their team more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PC Leader Tim Houston has proposed an innovative, made-in-Nova-Scotia solution that will meet both of these goals and send the message that our province is open for business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today the PCs launched the \u2018Better Pay Cheque Guarantee.\u2019 It will position Nova Scotia to compete with other provinces and countries and invest in ourselves, but unlike other plans, it guarantees more money in employees\u2019 pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is a key component of the \u2018can-do\u2019 attitude Nova Scotians will see from your PC government,\u201d says Houston. \u201cA PC government will give your boss a choice: leave the money they paid as corporate tax in the hands of the government, or ask for it back on the condition that they distribute those same dollars to their team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s an easy decision, and it will mean more money in the hands of those who earned it: you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the plan, the province will return 50% of what is paid in tax the next year as a subsidy, provided it is paid to their employees. Every corporation is eligible simply by paying tax, on the condition it goes to workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the plan targeted at working families, the top 20 percent of a company\u2019s earners are not eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis isn\u2019t a plan for the rich, this is a plan for the middle class and those struggling to join it,\u201d says Houston. \u201cIt\u2019s a plan to punch trickle-down economics in the nose,\u201d says Houston. \u201cIf you want to stay competitive, you will pay a competitive salary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cElection campaigns are at their best when they generate bold ideas. This is a bold idea. I have long believed that tax incentives offer more potential than cash grants. This proposed tax incentive looks to encourage local businesses, local purchasing power and population growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Donald Savoie, Canadian Economist<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”126″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”30″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [adrotate banner=”95″] [adrotate banner=”127″] The following is a release sent out by the N.S.
