REACTION TO THE THRONE SPEECH

Jane Brown is filling in for Libby Znaimer today. She is joined by  Robin Sears, a Crisis Communications Consultant and former NDP Strategist as well as Kevin Lacey, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation Director in Alberta.

Governor General Mary Simon delivered the Throne Speech in Ottawa yesterday. But, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is critical of it saying that it “fails to prioritize debt reduction or tax relief [and that it] didn’t even mention the deficit or debt”. Meanwhile, Climate change was a major point of emphasis in the speech. Our guests weigh in on what priorities they see the government lacking and what key issues all parties should be working on together.
