Prime Minister Stephen Harper today participated in a moderated question and answer (Q&A) session at the 2015 Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) Annual Convention, where he outlined how the Government’s unprecedented investments in infrastructure are generating jobs and economic growth in Saskatchewan while advancing the well-being of citizens of the province and across Canada. The session was moderated by Ray Orb, President of SARM.
During the Q&A session, the Prime Minister outlined the benefits of the Building Canada Plan and the New Building Canada Plan, including the federal Gas Tax Fund.
