| Vision for our North | September 2009 |
|

Dear Constituent, Prime Minister Harper recently toured our northern territories to underscore his vision for building up our Arctic. Canada's arctic contains bountiful resources, striking ecology and above all, enormous potential. That's why we're working to unlock that potential by investing in improved defence capabilities, economic development and better infrastructure. We're building more reliable northern roads and exercising our government's ability to react to protect northerners. At the same time, we've started a new Northern Economic Development Agency to help build the Northern economy that will unleash the North's true potential. I've included more information about these and more initiatives below for you if you're interested. As always, if you have any questions or wish to share your thoughts, please never hesitate to get in touch with me. All the best, - Merv |

Operation Nanook 2009: A major whole-of-government exercise, Operation Nanook is designed to build Canada’s capability to assert Canadian sovereignty and respond to emergencies throughout the Arctic. For more information - click here. Improving NWT highways: Our government's number one priority is to stimulate the economy and create jobs. As part of our Economic Action Plan, we're investing in major road reconstruction projects in the North to help the economy thrive now and well into the future. For more information - click here. New Northern Economic Development Agency: The North will soon be served by a new regional development agency with a specific mandate to deliver federal programs specifically tailored to the needs of Northern Canada. Whether we're talking about the abundant natural resources or the resourcefulness of Northerners themselves, we're acting to unleash the North's true potential. For more information - click here. |
