Following the exit of the Green Party candidate from last week\u2019s all-candidates meeting in Newmarket-Aurora, the debate continued with Conservative candidate Lois Brown outlining a \u201cclear choice\u201d for Canadians.<\/p>\n

This \u201cclear choice\u201d, she said, centred on who can form the best government to \u201cbest manage and protect the fragile Canadian economy in the face of global economic turmoil.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Conservative record stands for itself,\u201d said Ms. Brown. \u201cAfter facing the worst recession since the Great Depression, our government has a strong record of economic and fiscal management, balanced budgets, lower taxes and historic transfers to the Provinces. I am proud of the work I have done on behalf of the residents of Newmarket-Aurora.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over her previous terms as Member of Parliament, Ms. Brown said she was proud of her constituency work, including resolving \u201cthousands\u201d of files for area resident, advocating for the reinstatement of benefits for allied veterans, recognizing the service of cadets involved in the 1970s explosion at CFB Valcartier, and being \u201cinstrumental in seeing the inclusion of assistance to single seniors\u201d in the Conservative platform. <\/p>\n

\u201cI am asking the voters of Newmarket-Aurora to give me their trust once again on October 19 to continue to be their strong voice in Ottawa,\u201d said Ms. Brown.<\/p>\n

In his respective pitch to voters, Liberal candidate Kyle Peterson said he was a proud husband, father, soccer coach, volunteer and lawyer, throwing in an apology for that last credential. Having become involved with the Liberal party a quarter of a century ago to \u201cfight for social justice\u201d, many of those issues remain.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Liberal party has three priorities: to create jobs, including creating jobs for youth; to grow the middle class, and to help those hard-working Canadians join the middle class,\u201d he said. \u201cClimate change, threats to our water and land, rapidly growing cities and congestion: these are the barriers to getting goods to market that add to the cost of doing business and confirm that our under-investment in infrastructure is undermining our prosperity and our quality of life. Real change means a Liberal government that will create jobs with the most significant infrastructure investment in Canadian history, but that is just one way to get our country back on track. A Trudeau-led Liberal government will create 40,000 new jobs each year for the next three years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a strategy that will build a stronger Canada by investing in our country\u2019s foundation: its youth. Real change means we\u2019re going to give a tax break to middle class Canadians by asking the wealthiest 1 per cent to give a little more. Combined with our Canada Child Benefit, hundreds of thousands of this country\u2019s children will be lifted out of poverty. A Liberal government is committed to a strong economy while taking serious steps to counter climate change. We are also committed to treating our veterans, our indigenous Canadians, and our seniors with dignity and respect.\u201d<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
