On March 16, 2016 the PC caucus was privileged to receive a presentation from the Child Protection Services department of PEI Family and Human Services. It is a great overview of what the department does, where it does it, why it does it, how many children are impacted and the requirement for reporting any potential children […]

Small Business Micro-loans
So glad to see that the government has finally implemented a program to help entrepreneurs get the capital they need to operate. This is something that was part of my election platform in District 18 Rustico-Emerald, and I have been fighting for small business micro-loans in the legislature since the spring of 2015. …a micro-business is one-person, two-person […]
Rte 239 – Civic number conflict – rename to St Patrick’s Road South
The name of St. Patrick’s Road was used for decades on the sign at Rte 2 just west of Hunter River, but four years ago they changed it to Rte 239. As it ends up the province had made a mistake because further down on Rte 239 is another section called “St. Patrick’s Road” and there […]

In all cases the students must find their […]
Generate hydro electricity at Bagnall’s Pond

For example, the Ontario government has an Electric Vehicle Incentive Program. References Office of […]

Attention all not-for-profit, public and private sector small business organizations – apply now to hire a student this summer using the Canada Summer Jobs wage subsidy! I spoke with our MP recently and he is worried that we won’t get enough applicants to use all the funding – which has doubled since last year. Not-for-profit employers get funding […]
Remove HST from electricity
Removing the provincial portion of the HST from electricity should be done because: only GST is charged on on heating oil electricity is the main output of renewable energy sources and a switch away to electricity from non-rewneable energy sources should be encouraged electricity is used by all Islanders and is a basic need that […]
Will UPEI reduce pensions?
Rumours are out that UPEI will reduce pensions by using something other than the best 3 years of wages as the basis for pension payments. Those receiving pensions from UPEI have planned their retirement around the existing pension amounts, and it is unfair and wrong to make these sort of changes.
