Throne Speech Marks Great Beginning For New Government
OTTAWA
- "Today's Throne Speech was exactly what Canadians have wanted for
years: a clear agenda of precise commitments for a better Canada,"
says Conservative MP James Moore. "After 13 years of Liberals,
and 18 months of dithering under Paul Martin, Stephen Harper is
showing Canadians what real leadership looks like."
The Throne Speech, delivered by Governor General
Michaëlle Jean today in
Ottawa, reaffirmed the five priorities of the new Conservative
government.
They are: 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 message of this Throne Speech is clear: we are going to do what
we said we would do," concluded Moore.
