We'll reduce the size of
government and lower
taxes, to create real jobs...
"Decades of government building by Liberals and Tories have created a tax burden of unprecedented magnitude. Overspending, over-taxation, and bureaucratic inefficiencies must be eliminated if we are to prosper and create real jobs. A Reform government is prepared to liberate the economy from excessive government, creating a future filled with growth and opportunity."
