The three Conservative candidates on the Avalon Peninsula issued a joint release today in the wake of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s trip to St. John’s.

Matthew Chapman the Conservative candidate for Avalon, Terry Martin in St. John’s South-Mount Pearl and Joedy Wall the party’s candidate in St. John’s East say Trudeau has taken the province for granted and accuse the seven Liberal MPs of standing silently by.

They say the Conservatives will introduce a universal tax cut, reducing the lowest-income tax bracket, introduce a Children’s Fitness Tax and Children’s Arts and Learning Tax Credit, and cancel the carbon tax.

They also promise to remove the GST from home heating and energy bills and introduce a green public transit tax credit.
