Prime Minister Stephen Harper held a closed-door session with Manitoba’s business elite Friday afternoon to hear their opinions on the economic downturn and what government can do to turn it around.
Harper met with the group while in Winnipeg to mark construction of the Canadian Museum of Human Rights. On hand were David Asper, Canwest executive vice-president; Mark Chipman, president of Megill Stephenson; Polly Craik, president and CEO of FineLine Solutions; Art DeFehr, president and CEO of Palliser Furniture; Ray McFeetors, chairman of the board of Great-West Lifeco; Len Penner, president of Cargill; Don Reimer, chairman and CEO of Reimer Express World Corp.; Hartley Richardson, president of James Richardson and Sons; Sandy Riley of Richardson Financial Group; Kelvin Shepherd, president of Consumer Markets with MTS Allstream; and Graham Starmer, president of the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce.
The Prime Minister’s Office invited each to the meeting to allow Harper to get their advice on the federal government’s Jan. 27 budget.
