Under the leadership of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Canada is playing a stronger, more substantial role on the world stage. While other countries are struggling due to global economic instability, Canada continues to have a sound economy. Prudent fiscal management by our government will ensure this remains the case.

Our government also continues to deliver leadership on the domestic front. In recent months we have:

• Forged a new consensus on the Mission in Afghanistan;
• Passed the Tackling Violent Crime Act, that punishes gun criminals, impaired drivers and repeat violent and sexual offenders with tougher mandatory sentences;
• Passed Budget 2008, a prudent and responsible budget that will keep Canada on a strong economic footing, reducing debt while making it easier than ever for Canadians to save more of what they earn and;
• Partnered with the Alberta Government to help retrain workers in struggling single industry communities; improve Calgary transit and recruit 2500 new police officers across the country.
  

I am proud of the work that our government is doing and the results we are delivering for Canadians. I welcome your comments.
