Energy Credit an Insult

The McGuinty governments' Northern Energy Credit is being called an insult.

Conservative MPP Randy Hillier says the program is laughable.

"This tax credit is only fully utilized if you make less than $35,000 a year," says Hillier. "As soon as you start making more than $35,000, that tax credit starts getting clawed back."

Hillier says in some parts of the north, the credit, to come out this fall, won't even cover one month of the HST.
