Prime Minister Stephen Harper will deliver his government’s latest economic update during a stop in Saint John today. Harper is holding a photo opportunity before making his announcement at 12:30 at the NB Southern Railway Mechanical Shop on Gifford Street.
Transport Minister John Baird says the prime minister will lay out what the government has done to stimulate the economy. He says today’s report will show great progress since the last update in June. Liberal finance critic John McCallum says it really doesn’t matter what’s in the economic statement. He says the Liberals have made their decision — they’re voting against the government.
