Justin Trudeau and Canada

promise tax relief: Tom Mulcair pledges NDP will spend $30M promoting Canada to U.S. tourists Justin Trudeau, armed with promise of tax relief, campaigns in Ontario suburbs The plans include streamlining and shortening the recruiting process and training reserve personnel from Central Canada on the Great Lakes region closer to their homes, according to CBC. Harper also pledged predictable, sufficient and sustainable budgets for reserve units, and improved training for reservists to respond to domestic emergencies, such as floods and forest fires. Under the proposal, the Conservatives would accelerate the expansion of the primary reserve from 24,000 personnel within their next mandate, if re-elected, instead of by 2028 as previously announced under the Canada First Defence Strategy. He appeared with Fredericton Conservative candidate Keith Ashfield on Monday morning at the Fredericton Inn, where he announced six new measures to assist reservists or help more Canadians participate in the Canadian Armed Forces reserves. In addition to more training for domestic emergencies, the plan includes giving the naval reserve an enhanced role in protecting coastal and offshore waters. A larger primary reserve will significantly augment the "surge capacity" of the CAF in emergencies and give it a broader capacity to assist in the protection of Canada sovereignty, respond to national emergencies such as floods and forest fires, to and better protect Canada coastal and offshore waters, Harper said in a statement. "These measures will provide the Canadian Armed Forces with the strategic depth they need to respond to varied and sometimes multiple, national and international emergencies and challenges." Conservative Leader Stephen Harper announced an expansion of the military reserves during a campaign stop in Fredericton on Monday. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
