Ted Menzies Hard At Work For Canadians
February 26, 2010
Ottawa – Ted Menzies, Member of Parliament for Macleod and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance, is pleased to report on his successful activities on behalf of Canadians in January and February 2010. 

As one of the most influential people in government and politics in Ottawa in 2010 (The Hill Times, December 14, 2009), Menzies has traveled the country to learn about Canadians’ priorities for the upcoming federal budget and the second phase of the Economic Action Plan.  Despite Menzies’ hectic schedule, he has continued to make time for his valued constituents, attending community events in every corner of the riding.

“Prorogation has provided me with the opportunity to carry out important work on behalf of my constituents in Macleod, while giving the upcoming federal budget the attention that it deserves,” said Menzies.  “I have consulted with Canadians across the country and they want their government to continue to focus on the economy and create jobs.  Our agenda for the future is their agenda – a strong economy, job creation, growth and opportunity.”

Since January, Menzies has participated in countless meetings and events, both at home in Macleod and across the country, including:
  • Pre-Budget Consultation Roundtables in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario.
  • Official Olympic Torch community events in High River, Okotoks, Springbank and Lethbridge.
  • Fundraiser for Bragg Creek Snowbirds Seniors Fellowship.
  • Canadian Mortgage and Housing Canada (CMHC) funding announcement on the Blood Reserve.
  • Constituency Open House as well as Constituency Meetings and facility tours throughout the riding.
  • Participated in local Trade Fair in Claresholm.
  • Meetings with Finance Minister Jim Flaherty in preparation of Budget 2010.

Back in Ottawa, Menzies is looking forward to a new Throne Speech and Budget, but is conscious of the work ahead. 

“Our economy is starting to recover from the global economic recession – but that recovery is tentative and uncertain,” said Menzies.  “This is no time to change course, but it is time to tackle tomorrow’s challenges head on.”
