Santilli Plans January Push With Governors to Lock Votes for Labor Reform

Provincial doubts over tax changes tied to revenue sharing shape the next round of talks.

Overview

  • The interior minister will restart one-on-one meetings across provinces in January to line up support before extraordinary Senate debate planned for February, with no first meeting scheduled yet.
  • The reform already holds a Senate committee ruling, but the government still needs allied votes on the floor to secure passage.
  • Governors are scrutinizing chapters on income tax and tax burden reductions that could shrink coparticipation, including provisions on property sales and the top corporate income brackets.
  • Officials signal willingness to adjust parts of the bill to secure provincial backing while keeping its central aims intact.
  • Santilli will reuse the province-by-province bargaining model that helped pass the Budget, including ATN transfers and targeted concessions.
