Budget

A couple links to my thoughts on the budget.

[quote]Will the promise of $1.5 billion in job training cash be enough to make a difference in Canada?
That depends on what Finance Minister Jim Flaherty says as he delivers the budget in the House of Commons today, say two candidates who opposed Brant's rookie Conservative MP Phil McColeman in the 2008 federal election.
"So far it's just a fund they've set up," NDP candidate Brian Van Tilborg said of the promise, delivered Sunday by Human Resources Minister Diane Finley during a television show.
"We've got to wait until Flaherty comes out with the budget and they'll flesh it out. From my view, it's a little too fuzzy right now," said Van Tilborg, who directs the Steelworkers' Action Centre on Murray Street.
Van Tilborg's view are in line with those of Liberal Lloyd St. Amand, the man McColeman unseated as MP.
"For me to predict what's in (the budget), I just can't," said St. Amand, who recently resumed his law practice with Lefebvre and Lefebvre. [/quote]

[quote]Reaction mixed to federal budget
Spending plan 'recipe for disaster,' says Van Tilborg

The federal government's budget is just what the community needs, says a local business leader.
But a man who helps local laidoff workers says it will produce too big a deficit for too little gain.
"I really don't like to see budgets in which spending is going way up and revenue is going way down. It's a recipe for disaster," Brian Van Tilborg said Wednesday. "They're talking big dollars and it looks like they're spreading it around thinly everywhere hoping something good is going to happen.
"I'd like to know how much of that money is coming to Brantford and Brant County and how it is going to help the people of this community."
Van Tilborg represented the NDP at the provincial and federal levels in two recent elections. He manages the Genfast Worker Adjustment Centre on Murray Street, near Sheridan Street. [/quote]

MPs Laid off 7 weeks with Full Pay & Travel

In todays Expositor
Dear Editor

I find myself unemployed heading into the holiday season and not by choice. I will not be receiving EI or Christmas Holiday pay. The Prime Minister of Canada has chosen to lay himself and 307 MPs from the House of Commons until late January. This is by choice, and I can assure you, it will not feel like the layoff I recently received. The Prime Minister and the MPs will receive full pay, holiday pay, pension contributions, health care benefits, and all the regular parliamentary perks,including travel, accommodation, and living a life of luxury. Many people face a Christmas Holiday wondering how they are going to provide a healthy holiday dinner, Christmas gifts for their children, and are praying to the Lord that there is a stable job for next year. I could never afford to lay myself off or walk away from a job, because there is conflict at work. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, should not be rewarded with pay for shutting down his place of work. Neither should those MPs, who are laid off be rewarded with full parliamentary pay and privileges, until they return to work.
