The federal Conservative government plans to introduce three new measures in the coming weeks trying to boost the country’s economy encourage job creation. House leader John Baird announced on Thursday as political parties began drawing battle lines on the economic debate once Parliament resumes this Monday. Baird said the government had no plans to extend the present stimulus-spending plan, which expires on March 31 next year, or roll out a secondary scheme, citing the need to balance the budget. In order to lead Canada down the road to prosperity the government will keep the taxes low and exercise the fiscal restraint. Meanwhile, NDP Leader Jack Layton said his party would be pushing for additional government spending when the House of Commons returns. He said the NDP agreed with U.S. President Barack Obama, as opposed to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, in terms of what the economy recquires.
