The plan, announced by Conservative leader Erin O’Toole, includes efforts to slash by half income tax rates on new technologies patented in Canada, review and potentially trim back Ottawa’s bloated subsidy landscape, streamline an essential innovation tax credit, and create a dedicated government agency to fund research into next-generation technologies such as electric car batteries, modular nuclear reactors, pharmaceuticals and carbon capture and storage, among other things.
I like how the conservative party is emphasizing innovation.
