Justin Trudeau wishes all Canadians on New Year
Ottawa, Jan 1 (IBNS): Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has wished all his countrymen on the occasion of the New Year 2019.
Issuing a statement, Trudeau said: "Tonight, as we come together with family and friends, I want to thank you. Every success and milestone our country celebrates tonight, we’re able to celebrate because of you."
Stressing on better employment rate in the country, the Prime Minister said: "Thanks to you, we’re heading into the New Year with the lowest unemployment rate in over 40 years. Wages are up and, today, 800,000 more people are working than in 2015."
Regarding the renewed North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), he said: "Together, we negotiated a new NAFTA – and got a good deal for Canada – so that Canadians can count on well-paying jobs, and our businesses can count on the access they need to expand and thrive."
Giving importance on businesses, Trudeau said, "Starting tomorrow, small businesses in Canada will benefit from a combined federal-provincial-territorial average income tax rate of 12.2 per cent – the lowest in the G7. It will also no longer be free to pollute anywhere in Canada, as we put a price on pollution to cut emissions and fight climate change.
“Our government’s resolution is to stay focused on you, and every Canadian who works hard, day in, day out, to make tomorrow better than yesterday, and this year better than the last."
