It’s irresponsible to run for mayor without telling residents how much you plan to raise their taxes. I've committed to keeping property taxes between 2 and 2.5% for the next two years. I delivered on affordability over the last four years, and I’ll do it again. Jeff, what’s your number? C’est irresponsable de se présenter à la mairie sans dire aux résidents de combien on compte augmenter leurs taxes foncières. Je me suis engagé à limiter les hausses de taxes foncières de 2 à 2,5 % au cours des deux prochaines années. Au cours des quatre dernières années, j’ai tenu mes engagements en matière d’abordabilité, et je le ferai à nouveau. Jeff, quel est ton chiffre?

You deserve a mayor with a real plan to make life more affordable, strengthen Ottawa’s economy and build the infrastructure our growing city needs. I have a plan to keep taxes low, support local businesses, improve our roads and transit, and invest in the services and infrastructure residents rely on every day. Vous méritez un maire qui a un plan concret pour rendre la vie plus abordable, renforcer l’économie d’Ottawa et construire les infrastructures dont notre ville en pleine croissance a besoin. J’ai un plan pour maintenir les impôts à un niveau bas, soutenir les entreprises locales, améliorer nos routes et le transport en commun, et investir dans les services et les infrastructures sur lesquels les résidents comptent au quotidien.

Thank you to LiUNA Local 527 for endorsing my campaign for Mayor. The people who build our city deserve fair wages and the opportunity to build their careers here. That's why I'm committed to ensuring skilled trades workers are paid fairly and creating more opportunities for local workers and apprentices. My $10-billion infrastructure plan will mean more work for construction tradespeople in the years ahead as we invest in roads, transit and the infrastructure Ottawa needs. Let's keep building Ottawa together! Merci à LiUNA, section locale 527, d'appuyer ma candidature à la mairie d'Ottawa! Les personnes qui bâtissent notre ville méritent un salaire équitable et la possibilité de faire carrière ici, chez nous. Je m'engage à faire en sorte que les travailleurs et travailleuses des métiers spécialisés soient rémunérés équitablement et à créer plus de possibilités pour la main-d'œuvre locale et les apprentis. Mon plan d'infrastructure de 10 milliards de dollars permettra de soutenir les emplois dans les métiers de la construction au cours des prochaines années, tout en investissant dans les routes, le transport en commun et les infrastructures dont Ottawa a besoin.

When you run for Mayor, you have to tell residents everything you plan to do once you’re in office. While other candidates are keeping some of their plans a secret, today I released my full platform for Ottawa’s future.  It’s an ambitious, balanced and achievable plan to keep our city affordable, strengthen our economy and build on the progress we’ve made over the past four years.  I want to leave behind a better city for our kids and grandkids than the one we inherited. That means making the right decisions today to keep Ottawa strong, affordable and full of opportunity for generations to come. I believe deeply that Ottawa’s best days are still ahead. I’m asking for your support to keep building that future together. marksutcliffe.ca/plan

In today's CTV debate, Jeff Leiper had another opportunity to come clean with you on how much he plans to increase your taxes. Instead, he continues to keep his planned tax hikes a secret. Jeff has been a councillor for 12 years and a candidate for mayor for 15 months, so he knows how the budget works. Yet through 10 debates and counting, he's refused to be honest and transparent about his tax plans. Jeff, what's your number?

In today’s CTV debate, Neil Saravanamuttoo defended his plan to spend $250 million on bike lanes, claiming it would cost “absolutely nothing.” But taxpayers would be footing the entire bill. Ottawa residents deserve to know how candidates plan to spend their money. Neil, what other costly commitments are you keeping from voters?
