Jack MacLaren MPP - Carleton Mississippi Mills |
As your new Member of Provincial Parliament for the riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills, I believe good government is one that allows people more freedom and businesses to flourish. I travelled throughout the riding last year and appreciated the support I received. Not only did this provide me the opportunity to meet a number of people, it also allowed me to listen.
The main concerns for the residents that I represent have become clear: massive provincial debt levels, rising electricity costs, sustainable waste management, property rights, and health care.
In recent years, you have seen your taxes increase and your hydro bills soar. We pay 10 times the standard cost of electricity to support green energy production. This has to stop. My colleagues and I have been working towards financial relief for families in the form of removing the HST from home heating bills. However, we know our work has only begun.
You’ve told us that our priorities should be in line with your pocketbook and we are listening. Our leader, my colleagues and I, are committed to lower electricity prices and reducing our $250 billion debt. We believe that the provincial government should be looking for affordable and plentiful energy, as well as ways to reduce the size of government.
Thank you in advance for your responses to the survey – please tell me what’s on your mind. I believe that government should work for you, the taxpayer. I will work on your behalf to stop government waste and show respect for the taxpayer.
Sincerely,
Jack MacLaren, MPP
Carleton-Mississippi Mills
