Conservative Action Is Strengthening Canada’s Economy

September 10, 2009

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation is reporting that new home construction rose by over 12% in the month of August.

This is another indication that Canada’s economy is on the verge of economic recovery. When a new home is being built, it means more jobs and economic activity for local communities.

As part of Canada’s Economic Action Plan, our Conservative government has been helping to encourage Canadians to purchase new homes. First time home buyers can now withdraw up to $25,000 from their RRSPs to purchase or build their first home. As well, the First Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit provides families with up to $750 in tax savings with the purchase of their first home.

Yet, while Canada is on the right track, there is still more to do. We are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but we are not yet out of the global recession.

Our Conservative government remains focused on delivering Canada’s Economic Action Plan. We are helping Canadian families face the challenges of the global recession. At the same time we are helping to create jobs with new roads, bridges and other infrastructure projects. Our Economic Action Plan is working and we can’t risk our progress and our recovery with an election now – an election Canadians do not want and do not need.

Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff is forcing Canadians into an unnecessary election which puts our fragile economic recovery at risk.

Our Conservative government is focusing on fighting the recession. Michael Ignatieff wants to fight our recovery.
