Canada’s Economic Action Plan is Working for Simcoe-Grey
COLLINGWOOD, ON – The Honourable Helena Guergis, Member of Parliament for
Simcoe Grey is proud to report that Canada’s Economic Action Plan is delivering
results for the residents of Simcoe – Grey and indeed for all Canadians. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has presented the Third Report to Canadians on the implementation of Canada’s Economic Action Plan.
Our government has taken significant steps to date to protect Canadians
during the global economic recession, including:
- Reducing the tax burden on Canadian families and businesses through significant permanent personal income tax relief and moving towards the most competitive overall tax rate on new business investment among industrialized countries
- Delivering help to Canadians who are currently out of work, while providing skills training to help them prepare for the jobs of the future
- Creating jobs through investment in modern green infrastructure and affordable housing
- Laying the foundations for long-term economic growth through investments in infrastructure at colleges, universities, federal laboratories and research facilities; additional support for graduate students and internships; and support for research and development, including clean energy technologies
- Protecting jobs in industries and communities hit hardest by the recession
- Ensuring the continued stability of the Canadian financial system and improving access to financing for Canadian families and businesses
In Simcoe – Grey over 22 million dollars of investments has been made towards projects like, the Collingwood Airport Runway Improvement Project, Collingwood General & Marine Hospital Foundation Geothermal project, road improvements in Wasaga Beach at Zoo Park Road, 40th and 45th streets, the reconstruction of a new Library and the renovation of the Recreation Centre and Banquet hall in Essa Township, the Lisle Ball Park in the Township of Adjala Tosorontio and the McCarrol Playground in the Township of New Tecumseth to name a few, are providing much needed stimulus for the workers, business and families of our community.
Our Conservative Government will remain focused on helping Canadians and staying the course with Canada’s Economic Action Plan.
