Prime Minister Stephen Harper

Canada Dept: "In the months to come, our government will undertake major transformations to position Canada for growth over the next generation," Harper said in his speech, referring to the upcoming budget, according to CTV. Harper didn't mention specific reforms but said Canada needs to find savings in the Old Age Security benefit, as Canada's aging population is growing more expensive and the current model is unsustainable and prime Minister Stephen Harper promised major reforms on retirement pensions, environment approvals and immigration policy while delivering the keynote address at the World Economic Forum in Davos Thursday. The prime minister also said it was a national priority to "ensure we have the capacity to export our energy products" and said upcoming changes to the regulatory review process will look to avoid "delay merely for the sake of delay."
