ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Now that I've suitably relaxed after a few frustrating hours reading thr0ugh bureau-speak reports from Industry Canada, I thought it would be suitable to pull back the curtain a little - so to speak - and roll out the next "Hidden Agenda Highlight" .

Coming soon to a Government Department near you .....

The "Take Back Canada Tour"
(sponsored by the Conservative Party of Canada)

26. Economic Principles

A Conservative Government will create an economic climate in which Canadians can thrive and prosper, and with their success create quality job opportunities for Canadians. The Conservative Party believes that a dollar in the hand of a Canadian citizen is better than a dollar in the hand of a government bureaucrat. Canadians should be enjoying a higher standard of living, a more competitive economy and greater productivity, similar to our major trading partners. A Conservative Government will ensure that Canada’s competitive position in the world is not impeded by a lack of ethics in government.

28. Science, Research and Development

i) A Conservative Government will establish a single authority or single window to review big science projects according to published guidelines. These types of projects are often tied up in the bureaucracy because, under the current system, they are forced to seek funding from a myriad of departments and agencies. A single-window approach would be more transparent for the research community and more accountable to Canadian taxpayers.

There's those pesky anti-Liberal words again. Transparent and accountable.

It's really simple - Affordable, Acceptable, Accountable.

If you dare - delve deep into the rest of the Conservative Party of Canada's Economic Development Policies. (You'll thank yourself for the effort in the long run - really!)
