Financial breaks on fuel-efficient cars and cuts to personal taxes were two goodies Prime Minister Stephen Harper outlined in a major policy speech yesterday, a sneak peek into his next budget and campaign platform.

On the environment, Harper says his government will soon introduce regulations on major industrial sectors to cut down on both greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants. Canadians would see measures to make energy-efficient vehicles more affordable, such as rebates or tax breaks.
