PM consults with Canadians on creating jobs and economic growth

 

January 17, 2012
Saguenay, Quebec

Prime Minister Stephen Harper today met with Canadians involved with
small and medium-sized businesses to discuss ways to continue creating
jobs and economic growth in a difficult global economy. 

"The global recovery remains fragile and protecting and creating jobs
remains our Government's number one priority," said the Prime Minister.
"As we prepare for Economic Action Plan 2012, our Government will
continue to listen to entrepreneurs, workers, small business owners and
hard-working Canadians on the best ways to create jobs and economic
growth."

Thanks to Canada's Economic Action Plan and Canada's strong economic and
financial fundamentals, the Canadian economy has recovered from the
global recession better than most other industrialized countries. Among
G-7 countries, Canada has posted the strongest growth in employment by
far during the recovery with nearly 600,000 net new jobs created since
July 2009.

Over the coming month, the Prime Minister, his Cabinet and caucus will
travel to small towns, communities and cities across the country to
listen to and seek the views of Canadians on the Government's long-term
Economic Action Plan.

In order to ensure that all Canadians can participate in this process,
the Government of Canada has also launched online pre-budget
consultations. Those wishing to make submissions can do so by visiting
