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 Join AIMS, and its partners, Corporate Research Associates, Deloitte Touche and the Greater Halifax Partnership, for this event. Tickets are $60 for individuals and $500 for a table of ten.
