I don't think it's bad policy to undo something that clearly hasn't worked. The tax rates will still be the lowest in the country, and a percentage point lower than it was under the NDP's original term.
Slashing them to 8% was the original bad policy so let's not let the UCP off the hook for Kenney's "failed experiment" in corporate welfare either.

8% vs. 12% was more about keeping what we have than filling the office towers. The companies I identified and more could be at risk of leaving if we're not competitive.
