Lambton Kent Middlesex MP Bev Shipley isn’t a huge fan of the 2017 Federal Budget.
Shipley says his troubles start right at the beginning, because it’s simply hard to read.
“There’s a lot of verbiage but not much that talks to you directly about infrastructure or agriculture or business or employment and lays that out,” says Shipley. “What they’re doing what they’re going to take away. The personal income tax is going to go up $9-billion over the next two years. The infrastructure for our rural communities, when you look at it for this year, basically, a lot of zeros.”
Shipley says if there is a bright spot, it’s the continued international trade agreement support and support for athletes who compete on the international stage.
