Federal Industry Minister Tony Clement was in Saint John yesterday and tells CHSJ News, he continues to strive and make this country's economy more innovative and competitive.
He concedes the deficit for this year is high but points out it's a lot lower than other countries such as the United States. Despite the ballooning deficit this year, Clement maintains Canada is still very attractive to businesses looking to set up shop.
He adds his office is also working to make the telecom sector more open and competitive.
