Prime Minister Harper outlines Government accomplishments during spring session23 June 2006
Québec, QC
Speaking today at a meeting of the federal Cabinet in Québec City, Prime Minister Stephen Harper listed the Government’s accomplishments, noting that great progress has been made on the issues that matter to Canadians. In just under five months in office, Canada’s New Government has: • Passed through the House of Commons the Federal Accountability Act – the most sweeping anti-corruption legislation in Canada’s history; • Lowered taxes for all Canadians; • Introduced legislation to crack down on street-racing and gun and gang crime; • Introduced the Universal Child Care Program, which will provide direct financial assistance to all Canadian families, as well as create real child care spaces; • Enhanced Canada’s leadership role on the international stage by extending the mission in Afghanistan; and • Ushered in a new era of open federalism, as evidenced by the recent agreement between the Government and Quebec that established a formal role for the province at UNESCO. “In just a matter of months, we’ve made significant progress in addressing the priorities of Canadians,” the Prime Minister stated. “While we’ve accomplished much, there’s still more to do. “We need to continue moving forward on delivering results for ordinary Canadians,” the Prime Minister concluded. “In doing so, we will build a better Canada for all of us.” Related Items24 June 2006 23 June 2006 23 June 2006 22 June 2006 Notices - Public events for June 23 and 24, 2006 |
