Keep in mind that the Liberal policies were cancelled because the Conservative Government said they were ineffective without doing an audit. Here's the comparison.
On Wednesday, Jan 17, 2007, the Conservatives announced Research and Development for Clean Air Research.
Conservative Program
$230 Million
Cancelled Liberal Program
$200 Million
---------------------------------------------------------
On Friday, Jan. 19, 2007, the Conservative will announce funding for Renewable Energy Projects.
Conservative Program (Eco Energy Renewable Power Initiative)
$300 Million over 4 Years for Renewable Energy Projects - 4,000 KwH energy
Cancelled Liberal Program
$300 Million over 5 Years for Renewable Energy Projects - 4,500 KwH energy
This represents energy for 1.5 million homes.
---------------------------------------------------------
On Sunday, Jan. 21, 2007, the Conservatives will announce a revamped Energuide under a new name.
Conservative Program
Energuide relaunch under new name (without the final audit which ensures it was done properly)
Liberal Program (announced in 2005 budget)
continued and enhanced Energuide.
---------------------------------------------------------
So...
Exactly how ineffective were the Liberal Programs again?
I don't see really any difference, except nothing was in place for a year.
A year lost.
Can you see much difference? If so, I 'd like to hear about it.
Looks to me that they stole Mr. Dion's ideas. Recommend this Post
