Notley defends corporate tax proposal

CALGARY – Alberta NDP Leader Rachel Notley has defended her party’s proposal to increase corporate taxes, saying it would provide a “stable, thoughtful” economic plan for the province.

Notley was responding to a question about whether the United Conservative Party was a safer economic choice for Albertans in Monday’s provincial election.

She says two of the most important aspects of a strong economy are stability and predictability.

Notley, who was speaking to reporters in Calgary, says Danielle Smith’s leadership is neither stable nor predictable.
