Stephen Harper rallies caucus, staff, as MPs return to Parliament
MPs returned to Parliament Hill today with a lot of House cleaning to do, and a lot about trade and the economy.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper kicked things off with a campaign-style speech to Conservative MPs and staffers Monday morning, trumpeting the tax breaks his government has introduced, which he said add up to about $3,500 a year per family.
“We are here for Canada,” Harper told supporters during his speech in an Ottawa Convention Centre hall rented for the occasion by the Conservative Party. He did not take questions.
“We will keep delivering for Canadians and their families,” he said.
