– the Liberal’s new policy to unlock LIFs by 25 per cent will take effect in January 2008.

CARP’s recommends that:

– if the Conservatives win the election, they must live up to their commitment to unlock LIFs by 100 per cent soon after forming the government.

– if the NDP are elected, we trust that they will implement the Private Members’ Bill introduced last December within a short period of coming to power.

– and, if the Liberals are re-elected, we urge them to do the democratic thing and unlock LIFs by 100 per cent. Or, at the very least, they should hold extensive public consultations across the province on their new policy of unlocking LIFs by 25 per cent to determine if that is what Ontarians want done—rather than establishing their new policy by paternalistic fiat.
