Stephen Harper

Constituency Dept: "Many people in my constituency have built successful careers, homes and families by thinking longer term in their affairs," Harper said, according to CBC. Of course, that was Harper the brand-new Reform MP, speaking in response to the throne speech on Jan. 20, 1994 and when the House returned for its first sitting after the election, Stephen Harper rose in his seat. He called on the party opposite to support "fiscal discipline" and talked about the entrepreneurial spirit in the west. "Countries, like companies or households, that mismanage their financial affairs do not create jobs. They destroy them. Households, businesses, families and governments that mismanage their affairs do not fulfil dreams. Those who mismanage their affairs watch their dreams slowly slip away." (www.immigrantscanada.com).
