1. Are there measures in the Next Phase of Canada’s Economic Action Plan that should be revised to better promote job creation and economic growth? Should any be extended? Are there areas where funding should be shifted to meet changed priorities?

2. Budget 2011 outlined a plan to return to balance that included a strategic and operating review of Government spending of taxpayers’ dollars (whose results will be reported on in Budget 2012). In what areas should we look for more efficient and effective spending? How can we better respect taxpayer dollars by ensuring they are not wasted on duplication, inefficient operating expenses, or programs that have outlived their usefulness?

3. What should Canada’s priorities be for the short and long term to encourage private sector growth and leadership in the economy?

4. The global economic recovery is slowing. While Canada is still doing better than most, we are still vulnerable to shocks from beyond our borders. Are there measures we can take to protect our economic recovery in the face of international events?
