Rick Norlock asks questions

The Federal Government will be seeking responses from Canadians on a number of questions, including:
1. Are there measures in the Economic Action Plan that should be revised? Measures that should be extended? Measures that should be ended prior to their planned retirement date? Are there areas where funding should be shifted to meet changed priorities?
2. Our government has outlined a plan to eliminate the deficit as the economy stabilizes, without drastic spending cuts or increases to taxes. If warranted, we will slow the growth of direct program spending in future years to ensure balanced budgets. In what areas should we focus spending growth restraint?
3. To what extent has Canada's Economic Action Plan been effective in stimulating activity in their industry, sector or community?
4. What suggestions do they have for improving the effectiveness of the Government's stimulus measures or the speed of their delivery?
5. What steps should the Government take to improve the competitiveness of the Canadian economy and ensure that Canada continues to attract investment and create jobs once the recovery is achieved and the Economic Action Plan is wound down?
6. Over what time period should the Government bring the budget back into balance?
We hope to see you at one of our locations; for anyone not able to make it, suggestions and recommendations can be submitted to rick@ricknorlock.ca.
