Rob seeks input from Members of the Sussex District Chamber of Commerce
Hon. Rob Moore MP gathers local input for upcoming Federal Budget
January 25, 2012 -- Sussex, New Brunswick -- Hon. Rob Moore MP for Fundy Royal is asking local business leaders, Members of the Sussex and District Chamber of Commerce, to make their voices heard in advance of the Harper government's upcoming federal budget.
"We have been working hard to implement Canada's Economic Action Plan and its job-creating measures. Already, the Plan has been a big boost to the economy. Indeed, Canada has created nearly 600,000 net new jobs in recent years - the best record for all G-7 countries," said MP Moore. "However, the global economy remains challenging - especially in the United States and Europe. That's why we need to stay squarely focused on jobs and economic growth."
As a result, the federal government is consulting widely with Canadians across the country for ideas on how best to create jobs and grow the economy in the next budget, while keeping taxes low and returning to balanced budgets in the medium term.
MP Moore has taken part in several pre-budget roundtable discussions with business and seniors groups in Fundy Royal.
"I am a strong believer that the best ideas to help the economy in Fundy Royal and across Canada is the result of talking to people directly about what works and getting their input," remarked MP Moore. "Indeed, many of the ideas we heard in these pre-budget meetings in past years have been directly reflected in the actual federal budget."
In order to ensure that all Canadians can participate in pre-budget consultations, the Harper government has also launched an online pre-budget consultation at www.fin.gc.ca
