Liberal+Party





Michael Ignatieff

The Liberal Party has several plans to improve the economy including:
 * Making better choices instead of spending billions on stealth fighter jets and US-style mega prisons
 * Reducing dept by committing to a //dept of 1%// within the first two years of a Liberal government and further decline every year thereafter until the budget is balanced
 * Spending restraint by finding targeted, sustainable savings in partnership with the public service
 * Proposing new programs in the Liberal platform only if they can be financed without adding to canada's dept

The Liberal Party of Canada is planning to improve the economy by doing 3 things:
 * Improving education - As a lot of jobs in Canada are dependent on the education of its population
 * Investing in a care agenda - To allow middle class people to recieve Canada's care plan
 * Global trade - To create jobs in exporting jobs in for clean and high tech jobs in canada

Promoting Art and Culture is in the Liberal's agenda and plan to act by:
 * Doubling funding to the Canada Council for the Arts
 * Restoring and increasing funding to programs that showcase Canadian culture around the world
 * Guaranteeing stable funding to CBC/Radio-Canada
