Bell urges voters to contact Duncan

With just over a week to go before the HST is set to begin, federal NDP candidate Catherine Bell is stepping up the campaign to urge Vancouver Island North MP John Duncan to speak out against the new tax.

“With the success of the petition initiative, it’s now obvious to everyone; British Columbians are determined to stop the tax. So let’s put the brakes on the Harper-Campbell HST before it starts,” said Bell.

Bell is encouraging voters to send a strong message to Duncan in the coming days. The NDP is taking out ads in local newspapers, launching an e-mail campaign, and contacting voters to encourage them to call John Duncan to tell him what they think about the HST.

“It will be more expensive and difficult to undo the HST after it starts July 1, so I am urging Mr. Duncan to do the right thing and tell Stephen Harper that the tax won’t fly in B.C.” she said.

“John Duncan and the Conservatives passed the legislation to bring in the HST, now they should listen to BC voters,” she said.

To tell John Duncan what you think about the HST, call his office at 1-800-667-8404.
