It\u2019s a recognition of the need for change that works for you: \u00a0the people, not the insiders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The People\u2019s Guarantee is the product of the most exhaustive and inclusive policy development process in the history of the Ontario PC Party. The process began in March 2016, and culminated in over 130 policy resolutions that were voted on and supported by party membership to form the basis of the plan.<\/p>\n<p>The platform is fully costed and the fiscal estimates have been reviewed and \u201cdeemed reasonable\u201d by former Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page from the non-partisan Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy at the University of Ottawa.<\/p>\n<p>In his speech to Party members, Brown highlighted five achievable measures Ontario PC government would take:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>22.5% lower income taxes for the middle class<\/li>\n<li>A 75% refund of child care expenses<\/li>\n<li>12% more off your hydro bill<\/li>\n<li>The largest mental health commitment in Canadian provincial history<\/li>\n<li>The first-ever Trust, Integrity and Accountability Act<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cIn the end, platforms are just politicians\u2019 words. The People\u2019s Guarantee is different,\u201d said Brown. \u201cI\u2019m signing my name to it, and so is every Ontario PC candidate. My promise to you is that if these measures are not enacted in the first mandate of an Ontario PC government, I will not seek a second.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe People\u2019s Guarantee is an expression of our profound belief that Ontario is great because its people are great,\u201d Brown concluded. \u201cIt recognizes that there\u2019s nothing wrong with Ontario that can\u2019t be fixed by a change in government. It\u2019s time for change that works for Ontario.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The People\u2019s Guarantee was ratified by the Caucus and the Policy Committee of the Party as required by section 22.3 of the PC Party Constitution.<\/p>\n<div class=\"grammarly-disable-indicator\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nov 25, 2017 @ 14:32 Today in a speech delivered at the Ontario PC Party\u2019s policy convention, Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown unveiled the Party\u2019s platform, called the People\u2019s Guarantee. \u201cThe People\u2019s Guarantee lays out our vision and our plan to bring change that works for Ontario,\u201d said Brown. \u201cAt its core it\u2019s very simple. &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8268,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[1032],"class_list":["post-8267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-provincial","tag-the-peoples-guarantee"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-30 00:56:18","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8267"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8267\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8269,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8267\/revisions\/8269"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
