Spreading the Word
Innisfil Enterprise
March 14, 2007
By Peter Van Loan, MP, York-Simcoe
Last week, I spent much time speaking about
the work of our new Conservative Government
and our priorities for Canadian families. In
addition to announcements and speaking
engagements here in York-Simcoe, my role as
a Cabinet Minister had me travelling outside
the riding as well.
Huron-Bruce, Simcoe North and ridings in
Toronto were some of my stops (all ridings
the Conservative Party hopes to gain in a
future election) as was neighbouring Simcoe
North. I also spoke at the Ontario PC Campus
Association Convention in Kitchener (several
young York-Simcoe residents were delegates
from various Universities). At that
convention. I presented the "Peter Van Loan
Award" which has been given annually to the
most promising newcomer in the organization
for the past decade. The award was
inaugurated when I was Ontario PC Party
President in recognition of my efforts
promoting and involving young people in
leadership roles in the Party.
At all the events I attended, the message
was the same. Our government is getting
things done for Canadians. After a year of
delivering on commitments like cutting the
GST, providing a choice in childcare
benefit, and allowing seniors to keep more
of their money tax-free, we are continuing
with new priorities for the year ahead.
Our new priorities are clear.
1) A federal budget that helps
Canadian families make ends meet by cutting
taxes and controlling government spending.
2) Making our communities safe by
getting tough on crime.
3) Taking action and delivering
results on the environment.
4) Increasing accountability through
democratic reform, including modernizing the
Senate.
5) Showing Canadian leadership on the
world stage.
By focusing on priorities, our new
Government is able to get things done that
matter to Canadian families.
Judging by the response I received, from
Port Stanton to Port Elgin; from Kincardine
to Kitchener to Keswick; Canadians are happy
with the direction of our government, and
impressed with the leadership of Prime
Minister Stephen Harper.
As we prepare for the Federal Budget, I am
confident that Canadians will continue to
welcome the change we have been delivering -
change for the better!
