OTTAWA
:
Local MP Barry Devolin is pleased with Tuesday
night’s Speech from the Throne. The mid-mandate address, read by
Governor General Michaelle Jean, provided an opportunity to frame
the next phase of the Government’s policy agenda while
highlighting accomplishments to date.
The
Government of Canada continues to focus on what Canadians want - a
Government that:
- Is
accountable and spends taxpayers’ money wisely;
- Delivers
real benefits to ordinary working people and their families;
- Works
cooperatively with the provinces and territories; and
- Defends
and advances
Canada
’s interests and values in the world.
“There
were many highlights in the Throne Speech including a plan for
strong economic leadership by aggressively moving forward with
broad tax relief that includes a further promised reduction to the
GST,” explained Devolin.
“Our
government will also take real steps to tackle crime and
strengthen the security of Canadians,” stated Devolin.
“We plan on reintroducing important crime legislation
with the new Tackling Violent Crime Act –
something I feel is long overdue.”
“It
is clear that the Conservative Government continues to improve the
quality of life for Canadians,” explained Devolin.
“Under the strong leadership of Prime Minister Stephen
Harper we are building a better
Canada
.”
