Session recap...

July 09, 2009

Parliamentarians recently concluded a very productive session. Despite the limitations inherent in a minority Parliament, our Government successfully implemented an ambitious governing agenda, responding to the real priorities of Canadians.

• We introduced Canada’s Economic Action Plan – the largest economic recovery program in Canadian history – as a response to the global recession.  Our plan lowers taxes, helps create jobs through construction projects, guarantees stability in the financial system and provides help to the Canadians who have been hardest hit by the global recession.
• We took unprecedented and extraordinary action to cut through political and bureaucratic red-tape to implement our plan – and today 80% of this year’s commitments under the Economic Action Plan are already being implemented.
• We successfully passed 26 pieces of legislation that produced stronger environmental protections;   new free trade agreements with our partners in Europe and South America; and  more control over our Arctic sovereignty.

 
Constituents routinely inform me that they are pleased with the pragmatic, focused leadership of Prime Minister Harper and I am pleased to work with my colleagues to deliver the results Calgarians want.
