TRURO - Christian Heritage Party Leader Jim Hnatiuk became the first candidate to register for the byelection call in Cumberland-Colchester-Musquodoboit Valley recently
"I'm ready to serve the constituents of Cumberland-Colchester-Musquodoboit Valley with a strong voice, just as Bill Casey did. I'm proud to live in and serve in a riding where the voters are not afraid to speak with an independent voice, and choose the candidate that will best represent them in Ottawa," the businessman and retired military officer said.
"CHP Canada has policies that would strengthen Cumberland-Colchester-Musqudoboit Valley, and I believe this byelection will be about more than what the major parties have to offer."
Hnatiuk said voters have proven they are willing to look for and choose the candidate who has the best plan for governing.
"Our campaign will be about offering better solutions to the serious issues that face us. There are better ways to do politics in Canada, and I believe voters are ready for those better solutions," said Hnatiuk.
"Voters are going to hear a lot about things like spending, infrastructure, and taxes in the coming weeks, and I want voters to know that there are ways to meet the needs of Cumberland-Colchester-Musquodoboit Valley without increasing government debt through deficit spending, and taxing Canadians."
He said taxing Canadians and deficit budgets are not working.
"They're robbing us of our competiveness as a nation, and eroding our standard of living."
The party leader said the CHP would use the Bank of Canada to fund infrastructure needs, so projects could become reality without taxing Canadians today and into the future.
"From what I'm hearing from voters, they want to send a message to Ottawa that they expect their MP to have the best plan for the people - smaller, fiscally responsible government, low taxes, with priority given to the economy."
