“International Women’s Day is an occasion to celebrate the economic, political and social achievements of women across the globe. Throughout this week, commemorative events across Canada will reflect on women’s progress over the decades, and the challenges that still remain before all women achieve true equality.

OTTAWA - The Harper government must immediately establish an independent oversight agency for the Canadian Border Services Agency, Liberal Public Safety and National Security Critic Mark Holland said today.

The new Harper Conservative budget comes up short on jobs and innovation and offers Canadians little more than freezes, cuts, and gimmicks, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff said today.

Under the cover of a Speech from the Throne devoid of content the federal government slipped out some hard facts about failed job creation that Stephen Harper would prefer Canadians didn’t notice, Liberal Infrastructure Critic Gerard Kennedy said today.
