Bill 14: NACC presentation to ON Legistlature's Standing Committee of Finance & Economic Affairs

On July 21, 2014, Marc-André O’Rourke, Executive Director of the National Airline Council of Canada and driver of the "Coalition For A Competitive Ontario" of which ACTA is a part, made a presentation to the Ontario Legislature’s Standing Committee of Finance & Economic Affairs.

Mr O'Rourke presented on Bill 14 and discussed the aviation sector’s concern with the bill’s proposal to phase in a 148 per cent, four-cent-per-litre increase to the province’s aviation fuel tax over the next four years.

The following link will share his presentation and highlight how increasing aviation fuel taxes by 148 per cent will harm Ontario’s economy across many vital sectors, and how Ontario communities, consumers and businesses in Toronto, the south-west, the Ottawa region, and the north will be negatively affected.
