Moore Excited for New Parliament

OTTAWA - After weeks of preparation, hiring new staff, and hours of briefings, local Conservative MP James Moore is excited about the start of the new Parliament. "In the recent election Canadians voted for change, and the new Conservative government is ready to deliver that positive change," says Moore.  "Our government is going to be focussed on delivering our campaign priorities and promises, and I know Canadians will be pleased with the results."

Throughout the recent election campaign Prime Minister Harper stated clearly, time and again, that the new Conservative government will focus on 5 key priorities: 1) passing a new Federal Accountability Act, 2) lowering taxes by cutting the GST, 3) helping families by providing more choice in childcare, 4) passing new laws to get tough on crime, and 5) addressing healthcare wait times.

"The Conservative governing agenda will be good for Canadians, good for British Columbians, and good for our community," says Moore.

On February 7th, Moore was appointed as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Works, but his first priority will be to ensure that his constituents are well served, and that decisions by the new Conservative government are in their best interest.

"I will never forget who sent me to Ottawa, and to whom my seat in the House of Commons belongs: my constituents," says Moore.  "These are very exciting times, and I am proud to serve my constituents on Prime Minister Harper's team as we follow through on our campaign promises and work to build a better Canada."
