New Title Same Great Advocate - Ted Menzies

(Page 8)


Ted Menzies, Member of Parliament for Macleod, was sworn in by the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, as Minister of State (Finance).
Prime Minister Harper completed a minor cabinet shuffle at Rideau Hall where he recognized Menzies' hard work over the past three years while assisting The Minister of Finance, Jim Flaherty, as Canadians have continued to weather the economic uncertainty.
“Ted's new role as Minister of State for Finance recognizes the increasing work load that he has undertaken while serving as Flaherty's Parliamentary Secretary during the challenges of the global recession. In this new role Ted will continue his exemplary work with Minister Flaherty on all of his responsibilities.” Harper continued, “including finalizing budget 2011 in order to continue to ensure we emerge strongly from the global recession, and to do so during a period of fiscal restraint.”
“I thank the Prime Minister for this opportunity and I look forward to continuing to serve the residents of Macleod and fellow Canadians in my new capacity as Minister of State for Finance” said Menzies when asked of his new position. “I am honoured to be given this new mandate and will continue to work hard on Canadian's number one priority: the economy.”
Menzies looks forward to assisting the Minister of Finance in finalizing Budget 2011 as well as in supporting Minister Flaherty and the Government as we move towards balanced budgets.
