RESULTS.

Cameron has a proven track record of results.

Results on tax fairness: Cameron was at the centre of the government’s plan to reduce the PST, index Manitoba’s tax brackets and the basic personal amount, making life more affordable for all Manitobans and making Manitoba a more competitive place to live and work.

​

Results in agriculture: with the Education Property Tax Rebate (first at 25%, now at 37.5% and next year at 50%)  for residential properties, and also for farm families and farmland.
