Coast Guard won’tremove Viki Lyne IICraig Spencethe chronicle

It’s unlikely the Viki Lyne II will be removed from Ladysmith Har-bour by the Coast Guard a spokes-person for Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s Pacific Region has told the Chronicle.

Communications Officer Dan Bate, responding to questions from the Chronicle, said in an Aug. 11 email that the Canadian Coast Guard will take “reasonable measures to minimize the risk of a pollution inci-dent occurring and will continue to monitor the vessel and area for any changes in condition or risk.”

But he adds, “It is important to note that those measures are un-likely to include removal of the ship from Ladysmith Harbour.”

The Viki Lyne II has raised con-cerns of both the Stz’uminus First Nation, which harvests shellfish in Ladysmith Harbour, and the Town of Ladysmith, which is concerned over the risk the Viki Lyne II poses to tourism and rec-reational activities.A 2012 marine survey, which was

commissioned by the Coast Guard, warned that the hull of the 54 year-old trawler is severely corroded, and may even be eaten through, and that the vessel is at ‘immanent’ risk of sinking. The report said removal and scrapping of the derelict vessel would be the only sure way of elimi-nating the risk.

Bate said the Coast Guard is look-ing for ways of removing 13,000 li-tres of ‘oil and oily water’ from the Viki Lyne II, in addition to the 20,000

litres of fuel that were removed from the vessel last fall.“Some remaining pollutants may be

considered a safety risk, so special-ists in pollutant removal – other than regular fuel oil – are being solicited using PWGSC (Public Works and Government Services Canada) con-tracting support,” his email states.“This work will further reduce the

environmental risk presented by the vessel.”

Bate also countered information that the Canadian Coast Guard had moved the Viki Lyne II into Ladysmith Harbour. He said the Viki Lyne II was moved from Dunsmuir Island in 2012 by its owner working

“with a local contractor” because it was dragging anchor and at risk of grounding.“Arrangements were made by the

owner to secure it at Ladysmith Harbour,” Bate said. “There was no contract or direction from the Coast Guard to move or relocate the ves-sel to Ladysmith Harbour.”

He said the Coast Guard will moni-tor the ship and be prepared to take measures if necessary. “Should the situation escalate, CCG ER person-nel are ready to respond with ves-sels, equipment, and contractors to mitigate any potential impact on the marine environment,” Bate said.As for use and activity on the vessel

while it is moored in Ladysmith Har-bour, Bate said that’s not within the Coast Guard’s responsibility. “CCG’s mandate with respect of Viki Lyne II surrounds any potential to pollute local waters,” he said. “Other issues, such as use, fall outside the purview of the department.”

Orcas in the swim nationally Craig Spencethe chronicle

Ladysmith’s Orca Swim club competitors Faith Knelson and Aileen Humphreys did themselves, and their com-munity, proud at the Canadi-an Age Group Championship Swim Meet in Quebec City July 29 to Aug. 3.

Now it’s time for them to set their sights at the far end of the pool again, for the next lap in their young careers.

Knelson brought home eight medals: five gold, one silver and two bronze in the ten

events she swam; Humphreys made finals in two of her four events.“I had a great time,” Hum-phreys said of her time in Quebec, her second crack at the nationals. “It’s a learning experience.”

Having been to the nationals once already, she felt better prepared going into competi-tion this time. Next year she wants to build on that.“I’m going to train harder so, hopefully, I make medals next year,” she said. “I’m go-ing to go forward and do a little better.”

Despite a stellar perfor-mance against competitors three to four years older than her, Knelson isn’t ecstatic about her results. “It was a good nationals for me,” she said. “I would like to have done better.”

She had set herself the goal of winning medals in every event she qualified for. But her backstroke kept her from earning medals in two.

Coach Dusan Toth-Szabo was pleased with both swim-mers. “I don’t know anybody who’s equally good at all four

Internship forbusiness grad

Island Economic Trust offers internship.

The Vancouver Island Economic Trust is offer-ing a paid internship to a recent university grad.“We are offering a valuable, hands-on experience working in economic development,” said ICET CEO Line Robert.“It’s an 8-month term, starting in September, it’s open to recent University grads with a degree in business, eco-nomics, political science, public administration, or other related discipline.”

The intern will “have the opportunity to learn from communities, First Nations and non-profits and see first-hand, the impact of economic development initiatives in our region.”

Information on the internship available at www.islandcoastaltrust.ca.

Deadline extended for climate lead-ership plancomments

Environment Minister Mary Polak has announced an extension to the time available for individuals and organiza-tions wanting to comment on a climate leadership discussion paper released by the government last month as part of its con-sultation process.

The province had set the deadline for submis-sions on its 30 day public consultation as Aug. 17, but decided to extend it to Sept. 14 due to the level of public interest. The deadline for complet-ing a survey, which is also part of the consultation process, remains Aug. 17.

A draft Climate Leadership Plan, which will incorporate input from the public consulta-tion, will be released in December, says the Ministry of Environment information release. Then there will be a ‘second opportunity to provide input’ before a final plan is released in March 2016.

Above and right, drivers in convoy went round the traffic circles in Chemainus; far right above, appreciative spectators won-dered what it might be like to have a bit of muscle under the hood.

Updated nuisance bylaw in the worksLadysmith council is looking to bring in a new

bylaw that will give it the clout it needs to deal more effectively with nuisance properties in the community.

Intended to deal with any ‘activity or matter’ that disturbs the “quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment or convenience of individuals or the public,” a staff report recommends the Nuisance Abate-ment Bylaw be brought back for first three read-ings at its Sept. 21 regular meeting.

What is a nuisance?The draft bylaw mentions: noisy parties or

groups, loud music, car racing, yelling and shouting, fighting, littering, trespassing, illu-minations, vibration, odours, accumulation of water or other liquids on a property, unsanitary conditions, or ‘other objectionable situations.’

Ladysmith’s current Nuisance Regulation By-law, which was adopted in 1993, is outdated be-cause it does not take into account changes that have been made to B.C.’s Community Charter. A revised bylaw will:• coordinate better with police and fire servic-

es when dealing with a nuisance situation;• give staff greater scope in dealing immediate-

ly with nuisance situations, without requiring an immediate referral to council;“The proposed nuisance abatement process...

ensures the cooperative involvement of town staff and the RCMP from the beginning to facili-tate a quick resolution of the issue,” the recom-mendation from City Manager Ruth Malli says.

The proposed ‘nuisance abatement process’ has been based in part on procedures that have been implemented in Nanaimo, and the Ladysmith staff met with Nanaimo staff, po-lice and fire services in preparing the draft Ladysmith Nuisance Abatement Bylaw.A chart accompanying the draft bylaw shows a

staged process from identification of a nuisance

situation, to notification of the property owner, to inspection and a meeting with the owner to outlining what needs to be done to remedy the situation, to official declaration of the property as a nuisance by Council.At that point, if the owner does not resolve the is-

sue, steps can be taken by the appropriate authori-ties, and the costs billed to the property owner.“Outcomes of the process are dependent on the severity of the issue and the response of the property owner,” the report to Council states.A note in the report adds: “Staff are also review-

ing the possible adoption of a Property Mainte-nance Bylaw, which is another useful tool that other local governments have implemented to address nuisance property issues.”

continued from Page 1 strokes,” he said of Knelson’s performance.As for Humphreys: “She really had a chance

to win a medal, so hopefully she will next year.”For a few weeks the team will take a break,

but they’ll be back in the pool by September. “I’m actually missing swimming right now,” Knelson said. “I still wish I was in training.”

And what’s at the other end of the pool this year?“I’m really excited about coming back next season and competing in Olympic trials.”

It’s a long shot, she admits, but if anyone could swim uphill, Knelson could, and you nev-er know what might happen until you set your heart on it.

Duck PatersonFor the chronicle

The band played on when the Titanic sank; but in Ladysmith’s case, the celebration parade continued, even though a band never showed up.

Organizers of the Ladysmith Days Parade said that they were happy with how it turned out, even though a deter-mined search for a marching band didn’t muster any musi-cians. Kinsmen Mike Sumpter, parade co-chair, said, “We did try and get at least one band, but being a long weekend, es-pecially in the summer, makes it tough.”

Kinsmen approached the Pender island Pipe band, even offering to pay ferry costs. They also tried the Mount Arrow-smith Pipes and Drums and the Cowichan Legion Pipe Band, but got no takers.

Sumpter said next year the Kinsmen will approach a school band.

But band or no, the Kinsmen felt that parade notched things up from last year.“There were over 34 entries and, considering the amount of time folks spend in the heat, it’s actually quite a good pa-rade,” Co-chair Duck Paterson said. “We even went up to Qua-licum to hand out our entries in their Canada Day Parade, and they had 11 entries, which included their emergency ve-hicles.”

Like so many of the Ladysmith Days activities, the parade is re-ally about community spirit.

Said Paterson, “The amount of time and expense some of the local groups put into their entries, so others can have a

good time, is very gratifying, and shows how much folks care about the community hav-ing fun.”“This year the judges had to take more time,” Sumpter add-ed. “It’s a tough job, and actu-ally every entry deserves some recognition. The bottom line is everybody having a good time.”

of putting on the parade and we hope that everybody had a great time,” Sumpter said. “The parade is a kick off to a super weekend, put on by volunteers, and everybody’s efforts are greatly appreciated.”

The 34 entries, who spent hours getting ready, then marching in the event made the Ladysmith Days Parade a big success., Craig SpenCe

Ladysmith’s Royal Canadian Legion has do-nated $250 to support the RCMP’s new D.A.R.E. keepin’ it REAL (KiR) Program, which will be delivered to 100 local Grade 5 students this year.

Staff Sergeant Anthony Choy, the RCMP pro-vincial coordinator of the Drug and Organized Crime Awareness Service (DOCAS), which oversees the Ladysmith D.A.R.E. program, said that over 100 police officers teach D.A.R.E. to thousands of school children throughout British Columbia.“The new D.A.R.E. KiR Program encourages

youth to be exemplary citizens and to help oth-ers in need. The Program also covers topics such as peer pressure, stress, communications, bullying, and the Decision Making Model,” Choy said.

DOCAS works closely with D.A.R.E. BC Society, a registered charitable organization which raises funds within each community to cover the cost of the student learning materi-als.

D.A.R.E. BC Society President Colin Grant emphasized that, “Community donations en-sure our children will be equipped with the critical thinking and life skills necessary to choose a drug-free life and fund the $12 cost of

learning materials per student”.He thanked the Royal Canadian Legion for its

support, “We are very grateful for their gener-ous donations which cover the cost of learning materials for 20 students who took the pro-gram during the 2014-2015 school year”.

D.A.R.E. BC Society Partner Relations Man-ager, Chantal Broughton, said next year’s D.A.R.E. program starts this September and we will need to raise $1,200 in Ladysmith to cover the cost of learning materials for 100 students who are expected to take the D.A.R.E. KiR pro-gram.“We are appealing to the citizens of Ladysmith to make a donation to help the Ladysmith RCMP empower our school children to choose a drug-free life,” Broughton said.

To make a donation contact Partner Rela-tions Manager, Chantal Broughton by phone at 778-290-2029 or email at [email protected]. To learn more about the D.A.R.E. KiR Program visit darebc.com.

Editor:(RE: Wrong Greasy Pole lesson

learned, Chronicle, Aug. 11, p 6)The reality of public service

at the municipal level is slings and arrows. However, in this case said writer has publicly impugned the integrity and thus diminished all of the hard work that Celebrations Committee volunteers (all 6 in total by the way, inclusive of the Chair) have done to plan and deliver another successful and free Ladysmith Days event for all residents of Ladysmith, especially children and their families.

So I ask the writer:• Where were you when Cel-

ebration volunteers met in Oc-tober 2014 to review and debrief the previous successful August 2014 Ladysmith Days?

• Where were you when vol-unteers were meeting monthly in November through June to plan the theme and events for Ladysmith Days 2015.

Volunteers were giving up pre-cious family and leisure time to solicit prizes and cash dona-tions to pay for all of the things that make up this ‘free’ commu-nity event.

• Where were you starting in late June to July 3, when the Celebrations Committee met weekly to refine the last details of Ladysmith Days 2015.

They were also running around, picking up prizes, donations and other materials, designing and constructing structures for the Greasy Pole contest, the Zuc-chini Race and the Ladies Nail Driving event.

• Where were you on the Fri-day morning before Ladysmith Days, when the Greasy Pole was

physically being moved and set up, and later that night when Ladysmith Days stages were be-ing set up at Transfer Beach.

• Where were you at 8 a.m. Saturday, when tents were being set up along with chairs, tables and no dog signs.

• Where were you on the holiday Monday when all of that work had to be undone, dismantled and the materials re-stored for next year’s Ladysmith Days.

Where were you all of that time?

I hope your answer is, I too was busy actively volunteering to make my community a bet-ter place for neighbours, friends and everyone else who calls Ladysmith home.

Finally, after being elected in three successive elections I have made it no secret that I will have served 10 years as a coun-cil member and like the previous 10 years when I sat as a director of the Mid Isle soccer Club it will be time for other members of the community to step up.

I invite you to put your name

forth as a municipal candidate then or alternatively if you have some positive energy to add, volunteer in October to join the six current members of the Celebrations Committee to plan and deliver another successful Ladysmith Days in 2016.

Councillor Steve ArnettLadysmith

Who owns Viki Lyne IIBryan Livingstone tells us that

he has been aware of this vessel since 1996. Perhaps he knows who the owner is.

If he does, he might want to let the owner know that someone else is taking up residence on the vessel and is inviting others aboard. Can he tell us when was the last time the owner set foot on the vessel?

Does he know what the inten-tions of the owner are? Is there any reason we should not regard this vessel as abandoned and derelict?

Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, PO Box 1356, Ladysmith, B.C. V9G 1A9. For information phone 1-888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org.

Where were you? Ladysmith Days organizers ask letter writer

What should public policy be when it comes to intervening in the economy?

Should we assume that the needs of Canadians for good jobs, a high stan-dard of living, and a sustainable future will be best met by keeping taxes low, regulations to a minimum, and letting businesses flourish and profit? Or should government use taxes, regu-lations and incentives to create pro-grams and services that build a stron-ger, more equitable and sustainable economy?

In an intensely competitive world, with emerging economies taking full advantage of their strengths, do we even have a choice?

This week the Chronicle focuses on The Economy in its ongoing coverage of the Oct. 19 Federal Election. One of the most important, but most difficult issues of virtually any election, we pre-sented candidates the Issue Summary above. See their responses Page 11.

Issue 2 - The Economy


Island Savings credit union was presented a Certificate of Appre-ciation Aug. 8 at the Chemainus Theatre, be-fore the curtain call for a final week showing of Roald Dahl’s James and the Magic Peach – the last performance was held Aug. 15.

They were being hon-oured for their support of Discovery Theatre

– a series of free work-shops, including ma-terials, supplies and instruction, designed for elementary and secondary students.

More than 40 Island schools have brought the workshops into their classrooms since the program was launched in 2011, with Island Sav-ings behind it from the very beginning.“The workshops help

young people build self-esteem through performance, expand their interpersonal skills and explore their creativ-ity and artistic expres-

sion through hands-on, collaborative activi-ties.” said Melanie Tromp Hoover, senior manager of commu-nications with Island Savings.

Each participant also receives a free ticket to a Chemainus The-atre production.“As you can imag-ine, feedback for the program has been overwhelmingly posi-tive,” Tromp Hoover said. She added that

schools can con-tact [email protected] to book workshops for the coming year.At the presentation

ceremony the Island Savings ‘community crew’ entertained fam-ilies with face painting and crafts. A Roald Dahl ‘book find’ was also held.

More than 5,500 chil-dren have participated in the Discovery The-atre program.

A celebration of this area’s spectacular cornucopia of locally grown and produced food and drink —all in support of Canucks Autism Network programs in the Cowichan Valley. Over 10 days, you’re invited to 60 events

where you can literally get a taste of the world-class epicurean industry that’s emerging here. Participants include vineyards, orchards, farm stands, a cidery, restaurants, markets, breweries, cafes, theatres and more. Featured tasting events include “Barge on In”, “Chemainus Tastings”, “Cowichan Bay Day” and “Sip Savour & Support”. It all kicks off

September 25th and tickets sell early! To get yours and for a complete schedule of events visit www.savourcowichan.com

FEDERAL ELECTION 2015XMany people who will remember me

growing up in Ladysmith where my fa-ther was an NDP MP may wonder why I am running for the Green Party.

I have spent many years working as a documentary filmmaker and commu-nity advocate on environmental, social and democratic issues.

I was recruited by the NDP locally and they approved me as a candidate, but the party leadership refused to allow me to run. Why? Because I spoke up for my father when he was imprisoned while on a humanitarian mission to Gaza.

But that wasn’t what made me decide to leave the NDP. It was watching the NDP abandon their own policies on the issues that are most important to me.

I found out that not a single NDP MP voted against the Canada Korea free trade agreement last fall

- in violation of NDP policy. This agree-ment has anti-democratic investor state (ISDS) provisions that give corporations the power to challenge government de-cisions.

I found out that the leader of the NDP supports Energy East, a raw bitumen ex-port pipeline that will expand oil sands production dramatically. This flies in the face of NDP climate policy. I am opposed to any new raw bitumen export pipelines.

The NDP leader also supports Kinder Morgan, saying that with a better process Kinder Morgan would be acceptable. I

unequivocally oppose this pipeline and increased tanker traffic on our coast.

I found out that the NDP supports gas fracking. I am opposed to gas fracking and have been for a long time.

I didn’t have to change my views when I joined the Green Party. I read the policy document, Vision Green, after Elizabeth May asked me to run, and was pleasantly surprised at what I learned.

I knew the Green Party would be strong on envi-ronmental policy, but it is also has excellent policies on social justice, health, inequality and a range of other issues.

The Green Party has a balanced approach to the economy, fair taxation and fiscal reform. They also focus on good governance and democratic reform.

It is Green Party policy that MPs cannot be whipped to vote against their conscience or the wishes of their constituents.

The Green Party is the only party opposed to any expansion of pipelines for the export of raw bitu-men from the Alberta tar sands. It supports a na-tional moratorium on hydraulic gas fracking.And it is the only party opposed to any internation-

al trade and investment agreements that include In-vestor State Dispute Settlements.

For those of you who are worried about splitting the vote, it is voter cynicism and abandonment that should be our focus.

I want people to be positive about politics, and vote for a candidate and party that they can trust to represent them with honesty and integrity.

I have spent years raising concerns about what we need to do to for the Canada we want.

We owe it to future generations to be hopeful and work for a better world.

Editor’s note: As part of it’s Federal Election 2015 coverage, the Chronicle is providing each of the four candidates in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Riding two ‘column’ spots between Aug. 18 and Oct. 13.

Craig Spencethe chronicle

If you build it, they will come.No matter how many times that’s

been proven during the 17 year his-tory of Ladysmith’s Arts on the Avenue, Kathy Holmes and the organizing com-mittee still get butterflies as the big day approaches.

This Aug. 23 there will be 56 juried artists in the show, including: potters, fine artists, jewelry makers, metal craftsmen, woodworkers, glass blow-ers, fabric artists and photographers.

They will be demonstrating their creations, and their techniques be-fore an estimated 6,000 art aficiona-dos in about 30 tents between Buller and Warren streets from 10 a.m to 4 p.m.“We cover all the mediums, we try to get a good mix,” Holmes said, adding

that Ladysmith will live up to its repu-tation as a place where great art hap-pens.“We do have wonderful artists here,” she said. “It’s a mecca for the arts.” That’s true of Vancouver Island in general, she added. “I think Vancou-ver Island and the Gulf Islands have a high quality and high proportion of artists.”

The featured artist at this year’s AOA will be carver Jack Fisher. “His work is in homes all over the world,” Holmes said, adding he’s been a big supporter of Arts on the Avenue since its incep-tion.

There will be lots of opportunities for kids to participate, making Arts on the Avenue a family event. Cheeky Monkey Daycare will be running a Kids’ Art Area, where there they can

“come in and paint and create all day long.”

As well potter Mary Fox will be show-ing youngsters the art of working with clay.

Demos for all ages will be happen-ing throughout the day, including: rug hooking, pottery, printmaking and painting. On the street there will be busking and music making, to keep things up-tempo.“It’s not just an art show and art sale, it’s a community activity too,” Holmes said, expressing the Arts Council’s gratitude for the businesses and vol-unteers, who get behind the AOA each year.

But it’s mostly about the artists, and it’s a great opportunity for Ladysmith to show its support. “You’re buying right from the artists; you’re support-ing the artist,” she said.

You will also be getting original, jur-ied art at a very significantly reduced price. Don’t miss out.

Arts on the Avenue a great mix of art, fun

Paul ManlyGreen

Greens believe you can’t have a healthy economy without a healthy environ-ment. Focusing Canada’s economic development on the exploitation of resourc-es such as fossil fuels is not only bad for the environ-ment but also for the econ-omy. A diversified economy based on development of lo-cal businesses will produce more goods, employ more Canadians, and avoid the boom-and-bust swings of rip-and-ship industries.

Canada is now in a reces-sion, and dealing with that requires creative economic thinking, not more of the same failed strategy. The Green Party is committed to paying down the national debt, but not at the expense of public services and pro-grams that serve critical social and environmental needs.

We recognize that small businesses are the true job creators in our economy, not big corporations. The Green Party will support them by establishing a Green Venture Capital Fund to provide money for local green business start-ups.

Greens will improve Cana-da’s economy by increasing efficiency and eliminating waste. We will lower taxes on income and payrolls; raise taxes on corporations to the average for OECD countries; recover taxes hid-den in off-shore tax havens; and introduce a carbon fee and dividend system that rewards energy efficiency. We will remove the billions in fossil fuel subsidies, and use the money to upgrade our infrastructure - employ-ing the army of carpenters and tradespeople Elizabeth May described - to retrofit buildings and make them more energy-efficient.

Find out more about our comprehensive economic policies at greenparty.ca/vision-green

Mark MacDonaldConservative

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is a proven leader fo-cused on the big issues affect-ing Canadians: the economy and our country’s securi-ty. Today, the global econo-my remains uncertain and un-stable. It is only our Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who has demonstrated the proven experience to keep our econ-omy strong and our country safe. Canada has weathered this economic instability with a plan of low taxes, a balanced budget, economic growth, and benefits provided directly to families. Since the depths of the recession 1.2 million net new jobs have been creat-ed: Overwhelmingly full-time, private sector jobs in high-wage industries. All while making record investments in infrastructure, lowering taxes, balancing the budget, and supporting growth in the manufacturing sector.

The Bank of Canada said that over 80% of our economy is growing, and Canada’s non-energy exports are up 10% this year. There is weakness in the energy sector because of the fall in energy prices, but econ-omists continue to predict growth in Canada this year.

The Prime Minister’s bal-anced outlook towards the private sector and necessary government intervention through Stimulus Funding demonstrated his keen un-derstanding of what to do and when. Despite a period of unprecedented economic instability, since the global fi-nancial crisis, Canada has the strongest economic growth, the strongest job creation record and the strongest in-come growth for the middle class amongst any of the ma-jor developed economies.

Now is not the time for the kinds of hazardous economic schemes that are doing so much damage elsewhere in the world. www.markmacdonald.ca or [email protected]

Sheila MalcolmsonNDP

The NDP has a plan that will make the economy work for Canadians.

We will help the real job creators in Canada, our small business own-ers. While the Conserva-tives have cut taxes for the wealthiest companies, the NDP have committed to lower the small business corporate tax rate from 11 % to 9 %, and to make it easier for small business owners to deal with government programs and departments.

The Conservatives have neglected the forestry sec-tor – raw log exports have increased, 68 coastal mills have closed, and 6,800 for-estry and related manufac-turing jobs have been lost.

New Democrats believe in getting the best value and the most jobs out of the logs harvested here. We’re com-mitted to reducing raw log exports, investing in forest-ry innovation, research and development, and promot-ing value-added wood prod-ucts at home and abroad.

To boost the economy and create jobs, the NDP plan will:• create an innovation tax

credit to encourage invest-ment in machinery and equipment used by manu-facturers to innovate, boost R & D and create jobs• extend the accelerated

capital cost allowance for manufacturers• reduce credit card trans-

action fees charged to mer-chants, freeing up money to invest in hiring• restore the 15% tax credit

for investments in labour-sponsored funds to give small and medium sized businesses access to the funds they need to grow• invest in vital munici-

pal and transportation in-frastructure by increasing transfer of the existing gas tax to provide an additional $1.5 billion to local commu-nities

Tim TessierLiberal

The federal government has an obligation to lead a growth agenda that will benefit the middle class by investing in Education, Infrastructure, and find-ing new trade partners. We must open up markets abroad for Canadian re-sources, and to help cre-ate responsible ways to get those resources to those markets.

Enhance tax measures to generate more clean technology investments, and work with the prov-inces and territories in order to make Canada the world’s most com-petitive tax jurisdiction for investments in the re-search, development, and manufacturing of clean technology.

Ensure smart, sustain-able investments in Can-ada’s infrastructure to create jobs, increase pro-ductivity, attract invest-ment and improve our quality of life.

We need middle class Canadians to have more money in their pockets to save, invest, and grow the economy – to bring back fairness and to strengthen the heart of the Canadian economy we’re going to give a tax break to middle class Canadians.A Liberal government

will cut the middle class income bracket by 7% and a Liberal government will create the Canada Child Benefit, one fair, tax-free monthly child benefit that puts up to $533 a month per child back in the pock-ets of the middle class. We will also provide more help to lower income Ca-nadians.

Liberals believe the fed-eral government should invest in the development of more affordable hous-ing units to help Canadian families ease their cost of living.
