Liberal leader challenges Blaine Higgs to explain how his tax cuts will help fund health care.

Higgs says his plan to cut the harmonized sales tax by two percentage points is irresponsible.

The debate marks a key milestone in the provincial election campaign, which started last Thursday and will end with a provincewide vote on Oct. 21 .

“Mr. Higgs seems to be quite comfortable with these pamphlets circulating,” Coon said. “He hasn’t condemned them as we have, and he should if he thinks they’re a problem. There are big challenges in the education system, and Mr. Higgs has gone looking for problems where they don’t exist. He’s not a problem solver. He’s a problem creator.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 25, 2024 ..
