On Friday, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation welcomed Newfoundland and Labrador’s decision to drop its equalization challenge, despite the province’s concerns it had been disadvantaged.
“This is a win for taxpayers in every part of the country,” said Devin Drover. “The Newfoundland and Labrador government was asking the courts to force bigger equalization handouts onto the backs of taxpayers from coast to coast.”
“Walking away from that fight is the right call.”
