New Brunswick Federation Of Labour Not Happy With Strategic Program Review

The recently released Choices Report from the New Brunswick Strategic Program Review is missing critical information to allow New Brunswickers to evaluate its true impact on society.

That from the President of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour, Patrick Colford, who says the suggestions he made did not make the final document.

Colford says it was troubling to not see any of his suggestions, considering he represents 40,000 unionized workers in the province.

He says the corporate tax rate should raise to the same levels as PEI and Nova Scotia at 16 percent, which would generate an additional $60 million dollars in revenue.

Colford says another recommendation was public automobile insurance, which would generate an additional $275 million dollars in revenue in its second year of operation.
