Treasury Board: Andrew Saxton and Finance Ministers

treasury board: Andrew Saxton speaks in the House of Commons in Ottawa on May 3, 2013, according to Huffington Post Canada. The two highlighted their experience in the business world. "I am the only candidate who has significant financial experience in both the private sector and in government," said Saxton, who served as parliamentary secretary to two finance ministers and the president of the Treasury Board during his time in the previous Conservative government. Andrew Saxton, Conservative MP for North Vancouver for seven years before losing his seat in the last election, and Vancouver businessman Rick Peterson both launched campaigns Tuesday to replace former prime minister Stephen Harper as party leader. Saxton underlined that experience, which he said included being part of the team that helped the country weather the 2008 recession. Peterson, meanwhile, said he plans to focus his campaign on his ideas for the economy, such as getting rid of corporate income taxes. Economic focus "I would be committed to taking steps that would create a vibrant, free and unfettered economy that gives every Canadian the opportunity to both contribute to and share in our nation progress and prosperity," Saxton said in remarks prepared for his campaign opening.
