Job Creation, Economic Growth Remain Top Priority for Conservative Government
March 21, 2012
March 21, 2012
In response to the Public Service Alliance of Canada’s meeting today on the upcoming federal budget, Treasury Board President Tony Clement is releasing the following statement:
Our Conservative Government is squarely focused on what matters to Canadians – jobs and economic growth. While Canada’s job growth record is the best in the G-7 with over 610,000 net new jobs created since July 2009 (nearly 90% of them full-time jobs), ongoing economic challenges in Europe and the United States remain and the global economy is still very fragile.
That’s why we are focused on helping create jobs and economic growth for Canadians. Economic Action Plan 2012 will continue to focus on making Canada’s economy stronger for today and over the long-term, with prudent pro-economic growth initiatives and responsible spending of taxpayers’ dollars. It will not contain reckless new spending commitments or tax hikes that will kill jobs and reverse Canada’s economic growth.
While we’re focused on growing Canada’s economy with our low-tax and pro-trade plan, the Liberals, NDP and their big union agenda want to hike taxes that would kill Canadian jobs and engage in massive deficit spending that would cripple Canada now and into the future.
