B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins is doling out his party’s election platform bit by bit as the provincial vote approaches on May 14.

The Conservatives have already released a “pre-election platform” that outlines the party’s general positions on issues such as education, healthcare, and public safety. The document also includes some already-announced policy ideas.

However, voters were today (March 25) offered a new proposal as Cummins delivered a major platform announcement—a tax break for many drivers who travel around the Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island region.

If elected to government, Cummins said the Conservatives would introduce a special tax credit for motorists who pay tolls on the new Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges or who pay fares to use the B.C. Ferries system.

The tax credit would be worth up to $408 per year off of personal income taxes for each person and would be introduced in January 2014. Receipts from those claiming the credit would have to show annual payments of at least $780, the Globe and Mail reports.

The tax-credit announcement follows the release last week of the Conservative party’s pre-election platform, a 28-page document that likely offers hints about what additional policy ideas the party will reveal to voters as election day nears.

Overall, the platform document summarizes the Conservative party’s general priorities on a series of key issues but it does not include many specific policy proposals. It does reiterate the party’s pledge to repeal the carbon tax over four years and emphasizes support for balancing the provincial budget.

The platform document also details a plan for “fiscal accountability” in Victoria, which includes steps to ensure MLAs give public-spending decisions more scrutiny.

The plan proposes a new legislative budget office with a $2.5-million annual budget that would provide independent analysis of government financial plans. It also proposes to establish three ongoing legislative committees of MLAs to review public spending.

Among its other priorities, the Conservative party has identified the need to ensure taxes are “fair”, develop natural resources, and reverse population decline in northern B.C.
