Health Tax Rebate
Howard Hampton's NDP will provide a health tax rebate of up to $450 per person and $900 per two-income family.

$10 Minimum wage
Put people’s jobs first, immediately raise the minimum wage to $10 an hour and roll back Dalton McGuinty’s extravagant $40,000 pay raise.

Protect children and the environment
We’ll protect our children’s health and environment by establishing a Right-to-Know law that ensures families know what toxins and other environmental hazards are in our food, air, ground and water.

Making sure kids get quality education
We will make sure all kids get the education they deserve.

Removing barriers to post-secondary education
We will remove barriers to university, college and training by rolling back post-secondary tuition fees to pre-McGuinty levels and then freeze them and we will eliminate classroom fees for apprenticeships, saving $400 on average.

Improving health care
We will reduce hospital waits. Ontario's NDP will take the pressure off of hospitals, ERs, and family caregivers by expanding home care and guaranteeing a daily 3 1/2 hours of personal care in long-term care homes.
