The deficit reduction action plan: Canada’s approach to job creation, lower taxes and a balanced budget

The Canadian economy has come through the financial crisis. We are now in a crucial period of economic recovery.  

The global economic situation is presenting a challenge for governments all over the world. Here in Canada, the Government of Canada has received a mandate from Canadians to eliminate the deficit and return to a balanced budget in three years.  

To achieve this, and as outlined in Budget 2011, the Government will review government spending to achieve savings of at least $4 billion by 2014-15. This review focuses on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of government operations and programs to ensure value for taxpayer money.  

Please join us on for breakfast on October 31st as Tony Clement, President of the Treasury Board and Minister responsible for FedNor, outlines what the Government of Canada is doing to promote and strengthen the Canadian economy.
