Tax fairness
Promesses de Green
"Increase the corporate tax rate from 14% to 21% for businesses with profits over $100 million ($44 billion in revenue)." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Introduce a permanent Windfall Tax (Excess Profit Tax) on large corporations, including banks, grocery chains and fossil fuel companies, to prevent profiteering at the expense of Canadians. This tax will apply at a rate of 15% on profits exceeding 120% of a company’s average profits over the previous four years, ensuring that large corporations contribute fairly when they generate excessive gains." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Implement a 0.35% Financial Transactions Tax (Tobin Tax) on trades involving stocks, bonds, derivatives, and currencies. This measure will help curb speculative trading practices that destabilize markets and generate significant revenue for social, economic, and environmental programs."
"Implement a progressive wealth tax on net wealth above $10 million. The tax would apply at a rate of 1% on net wealth over $10 million, 2% on net wealth over $50 million, and 3% on net wealth over $100 million. This policy would impact only .5% of Canadian households." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Strengthen Canada’s exit tax to prevent the ultra-wealthy from avoiding taxes by moving assets abroad. We will apply a net wealth-based exit tax of 35% on assets over $10 million for individuals renouncing Canadian tax residency, ensuring those who have benefited the most from Canada’s economy must contribute significantly before leaving. Loopholes that allow tax avoidance through corporate structures and exempt assets will also be closed." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Ensure fair taxation of extreme capital gains by applying a progressive tax only to profits over $10 million. To prevent wealthy investors from avoiding taxes indefinitely, we will also limit the ability to deduct past investment losses to a maximum of 10 years." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Revise Canada’s Select Luxury Items Tax Act to eliminate the “lesser of” rule and apply a flat luxury tax rate (e.g., 10% or higher on the full purchase price).
» Increase the tax rates for extreme wealth purchases (e.g., higher rates for private jets and superyachts.)
» Close corporate loopholes that allow businesses to buy these assets to avoid the Select Luxury Items Tax.
» Exempt Canadian-made commercial and recreational vessels from the Select Luxury Items Tax, to support small manufacturers and coastal industries."

Biographie
Born and raised in Ottawa, I’m a proud Franco-Ontarian, father and grandfather.
I’m running in this election because I’m passionate about building a more sustainable, inclusive and affordable society and communities.
I firmly believe that mutual support strengthens our communities and fosters resilience amid rapid change. I’m committed to doing politics differently: to bring honesty, integrity and collaboration to government.
I’ve had a lifetime of community involvement, including fundraising and helping the needy, being a Scout leader, and a minor hockey league coach.
Now a General Foreman for a construction company, I’m an experienced Construction Supervisor/Foreman of Plumbing/Piping trades (ICI), which involves organizing and inspecting work for groups of workers, coordinating and supervising other trades. I’m recognized for down-to-earth people’s skills, and for working efficiently with others to deliver results. My education includes Business Administration and Architectural Technology from Algonquin College, and I have the Plumber’s Red Seal, steam and gas fitter certificates.
My experience and observations in diverse locations across Canada and abroad (including Chalk River Nuclear Research Facility, Suncor in Alberta, two years in Nunavut at the Canadian High Arctic Research Station) inform my concerns about our environment and social equity.
Our Ottawa—Vanier—Gloucester riding is a very diverse one. My priorities include assisting our communities to prepare for extreme weather, strengthening local networks to respond to emergencies, and programs to retrofit homes to save energy and be resilient in the face of climate change. Economic change provides an opportunity to train people for quality jobs in new clean energy industries.
Mutual support to foster resilient communities means recognizing that many people have significant concerns. These include the affordability of childcare, the ability to take leave to care for sick family members, the struggle with student debt and high living expenses for many young people. Access to timely health care is a challenge. I support active measures to find solutions that put people’s needs and well-being first.
