Shortly inspiring, prudent, without vision ... All these comments in multiples to the throne speech, which inaugurated the 40th Parliament of Canada. Govern on the defensive: this is the approach of the Harper government.
Allow to settle the crisis before determining how to fight, to soften the consequences. No precipitate action. Small temporary measures, a slimming cure for the government, but no forceful intervention in the economy before the budget of February 2009.
Stephen Harper is prudent and pragmatic. He wanted to know the extent of the crisis, its duration, before intervening. Know also what will the new U.S. president Barack Obama. Because the two economies are dependent on each other, and a unilateral American or Canadian could have effects other than those expected.
For example, Canada did not want to throw quickly billion to the automotive industry without knowing what will the United States. And again, Stephen Harper will be cautious. Inject 2 or $ 3 billion in the automobile industry to find bankrupt in a few months would be a nightmare.
Like all other heads of State of the planet, Stephen Harper is worried. The crisis is growing each day and the economy slows more. The governor of the Bank of Canada, Mark Carney, gave far this crisis when he said that Canada would be more affected than expected, it would stimulate the economy even more and he could not, unlike his last speech that there would be no recession.
A speech that surprised the Canadians, but not the government. Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance, the same information, and it could have taken the same speech. However, the finance minister should first reassure the population.
neglected in the Speech from the Throne? Stephen Harper did not really want to make gifts in Quebec. Are not give ammunition to opponents of Jean Charest. The reform of institutions, whether the number of seats in the House of Commons or the election of senators, is not a short-term projects. The debate in the coming year will be on the economy, not the Senate.
As to the securities commission unique, the Harper government holds Mordicus. No way back. Yes, leave Ottawa to Quebec its own securities commission, but the Harper government is convinced that sooner or later, Quebec would support the national commission. For all sorts of good reasons.
From the outset, the New Democratic Party and Bloc Quebecois have chosen to leave the heinous Liberals to support the government and to adopt the throne speech. A strategy that eyebrow.
The Speech from the Throne is a collection of generalities. Many observers believe that both parties could wait for the real business, the budget for example, to mark their opposition. Always say no, knowing that the Liberals are forced to say yes, is a strategy that is primarily the partisanship.
