Among the announcements made in the budget speech such as “powerful new incentive to save money, tax-free: the Tax-Free Savings Account” (Budget Speech), we have more tax money going to the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America and the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. Twenty nine million ($29) over two years.
Interestingly enough, none of these tax payer expenses were mentioned in minister Flaherty’s speech.
