Canadian Taxpayers Federation to Deliver Gas Tax Petitions to Opposition Leader
REVISION – Ottawa: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) will hold a photo opportunity with Opposition leader Stephen Harper today at 1pm outside of the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill.
The CTF will present 35,000 gasoline tax petitions calling on the federal government to cut gas taxes. This brings the total petitions delivered to date to 150,000. Last October, the CTF delivered 65,000 petitions to John Godfrey, Minister of State (Infrastructure and Communities). Another 50,000 gas tax petitions were presented to Paul Martin, then-Minister of Finance, in 2000.
Following this event – at approximately 1:15pm – CTF federal director John Williamson will hold a news conference in the Charles Lynch press room (130-S) in the House of Commons.
The CTF is Canada’s largest taxpayer research and advocacy organization with over 72,000 supporters. Established in 1990, it is a federally incorporated not-for-profit, non-partisan, organization. The CTF is dedicated to lower taxes, less waste, and more accountable government.
