UNLEASHING CANADA
A Luncheon with Mike Harris

Former Ontario Premier will speak about his record as premier and his
vision for Canada

12 Noon, Oct. 22, 2003 at Casino Nova Scotia Hotel


On June 8, 1995 Mike Harris became the twenty-second Premier of Ontario
following a landslide election victory. The =93Common Sense Revolution=94
platform resonated with Ontario voters. The Progressive Conservative=92s
swept to power giving assurances they would address big government,
wasteful spending and rising unemployment.

For the next four years, Mr. Harris cut taxes, introduced measures to
reduce bureaucracy and eliminated barriers to growth. The economy grew,
unemployment fell and jobs and investment returned. While many of the
measures implemented were vigorously opposed, four years later, the
voters of Ontario re-elected Mike Harris making him the first Ontario
Premier in more than 30 years to form a second consecutive majority
government.

Throughout his years in public life, Mike Harris has strongly favoured
tax cuts and support of small business. His government set higher
standards for Ontario schools, teachers and students; action was taken
to modernize healthcare and legislation passed to make government more
accountable and efficient. Harris was one of only two Ontario Premiers
to introduce legislation reducing the size of the legislature and the
first premier in a century whose government balanced the provincial
budget three years in a row.

Mr. Harris has been highly critical of Canadian foreign policy,
particularly Canada=92s current relationship with the United States. In a
speech presented in April, Mr. Harris said, =93The federal government
does not respect or value this relationship. It does not understand
that it is Canada=92s most important strategic asset.=94 He added
=93Nurturing a strong relationship with the United States is the most
effective way of ensuring that Canada=92s voice continues to be heard on
the international stage. It=92s by far the most effective way for Canada
to influence the course of world events. And it is the most effective
way to advance Canada=92s interests on key issues that matter to us as a
country.=94
