Well the Liberals do not have much wiggle room on this one. The cash benefit was been well advertised and spelled out, but it is the government...you never know how badly they can screw something up.

Ultimately, eliminating or repurposing duplicate bureaucracy, saving businesses money and making Ontario a cheaper place to invest and start up a business sounds like part of what I would like the government to be doing in tough economic times. The fact that they've also promised (granted not delivered) items that will help ease the impact on those who struggle shows that the government was also aware of the initial optics of the move.

Once this is put through and businesses start seeing savings then it will be up to them if they're going to take at least some of their savings and pass them onto the consumer. At the end of the day a solid government policy can only deliver so far, then it is up to those who have benefitted from the policy to pass it down. If they do not, then our ire needs to be directed towards them.
