Provincial Election

Notley defends corporate tax proposal

May 24, 2023 | 6:20 PM

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.

She says Smith’s sovereignty act has hurt investor confidence.

Notley adds that a recent report from the ethics commissioner showing Smith broke conflict-of-interest rules doesn’t help matters.
