Building rural
communities
for success
OTTAWA—
Communities and collabo-
ration are the corner-
stones of the 2004 Speech
from the Throne, which
recognizes the important
role rural Canada plays in
our national social and
economic fabric.
"Canada cannot thrive
without strong rural com-
munities," said
Parliamentary Secretary
for Rural Development,
Georges Farrah. "That is
why the Government of
Canada will play an
enabling role by providing
communities and families
with tools to fmd local
solutions for local prob-
lems."
The economy of rural
Canada is based on a rich
heritage of natural
resources, but it also faces
considerable challenges.
To encourage regional
and rural development,
the Government of
Canada will ensure every
region of the country has
the opportunity to move
forward, socially and eco-
nomically, on a rising tide
of progress. Some of the
initiatives outlined in the
Speech that will help
achieve this goal include:
• Developing a Northern
strategy, ensuring eco-
nomic development relat-
ed to energy and mining is
brought on stream in
partnership with
Northern Canadians and
based on stewardship of
our most fragile ecosys-
tems.
• Safeguarding access to
international markets and
ensuring farmers are not
left to bear alone the con-
sequences of circum-
stances beyond their con-
trol.
• Working closely with
other levels of govern-
ment to assist communi-
ties of all sizes by putting
more money into the
hands of municipalities.
• Leading in the estab-
lishment of a strong and
responsive health care
system and providing new
opportunities to address
the health challenges
unique to rural areas and
improving access to
health care.
• Widening the scope of
programs currently avail-
able to small and medi-
um-sized enterprises to
include social enterprises,
to enhance the social and
environmental conditions
in communities.
"The Speech from the
Throne is evidence that
the Government of
Canada is listening to
Canadians and is deter-
mined to adopt new ways
of working together with
provinces and territories,"
said Farrah.
This was an important
point raised by partici-
pants at the 2002
National Rural Conference
in Charlottetown, PEI.
