It is absolutely clear that government plays a key role, as a catalyst, in promoting long-run growth.
Our government is focused on creating jobs, growth and long-term prosperity and on creating the right conditions for Canadian businesses.
My administration is focused on continuing to grow our economic foundation while ensuring emerging industries have the infrastructure and workforce they need to succeed in the global economy.
We're focused on doing the things that make the economy perform well, and as you do that, reduce deficits, for one, very important; secondly, keep growth rates high, very important.
We have accepted there is a big role for government to create a framework where businesses can grow in all parts of the country.
Government cannot do everything, so we need to first decide what government ought to be doing, then figure out what it's capable of doing, and then follow the jobs we choose to completion.
We are a country with great potential. We have the political will to make deep changes in a just and equitable way, to put our country back on a development path, to meet the challenges of a new world.
We have to start grounding our policies in facts and recognize that a strong economy is critical for funding progressive priorities.
My first priority is growing this economy in the long term, and stimulating it in the short term.
I start with a concern about the growth of federal government. I start with a perspective concerned about the growth of that power, and containing it within the bounds of the Constitution.
