Statement made on 06 October 2009 by Senator Charlie Watt

Hon. Charlie Watt:

Honourable senators, my question is for the Leader of the Government in the Senate. Honourable senators, Canada's Economic Action Plan includes $6.2 billion over two years to stimulate the economy and support job creation by providing personal tax relief to Canadians, allowing Canadians to decide how best to spend their money.

What specific initiative is this government offering to Northern residents in the way of tax relief, and how will this government support job creation for the Inuit in Canada, especially in the four Inuit land claim regions?
