HUNTSVILLE, October 25, 2013 — MP Clement

announced an investment by the Harper

Government to help create jobs, growth

and prosperity for the Parry Sound–Muskoka

region.

“The Harper Government is proud to invest in

initiatives that promote sustainable

economic growth in Parry Sound–Muskoka,”

said Minister Clement. “By supporting the

development of business accelerators and

incubators, our Government is helping to

spur innovation and providing entrepreneurs

with the tools they need to develop their

ideas and grow their operations, leading to a

stronger more diversified economy.”

FedNor funding of $443,700 will help create

both a business incubator and business

accelerator for the Parry Sound–Muskoka

region. Of the total, the Muskoka Community

Futures Development Corporation will receive

$333,730 to establish a business incubator that

will provide mentoring, coaching and training

programs, business readiness assessments, as

well as workshops to assist entrepreneurs

commercialize their products and ideas. And

$110,000 will enable Muskoka Community

MUSKOKA - Parry Sound-Muskoka MP Tony Clement

today presented $15,894 in proceeds from his 2013 Tony

Clement Charity Golf Classic to Salvation Army

representatives in Bracebridge and Huntsville to assist

those most affected by the spring flooding which

ravaged the area.

“It is fitting that we are able to make this presentation on

a weekend when many of us are gathered with our

families to give thanks for our blessings. I know there

were many who came forward to assist those affected

by the floods. The people of Parry Sound-Muskoka have

always come together to help each other in times of

crisis, and I am glad I can also help through my

tournament,” said MP Clement. “I want to take this

opportunity to again thank all those who came out and

supported my golf tournament this year. Without them,

the presentation today would not be possible.”

The 2013 tournament was held this summer at the

Muskoka Bay Club in Gravenhurst. This year proceeds of

the tournament were divided between local flood

assistance and the Stan Darling Environmental

Education Fund, which provides annual scholarships to

students graduating from the area’s six high schools.

In Bracebridge, the funds were presented to Salvation

Army Lieutenant Fred Reid, and in Huntsville to Major

Darren Wiseman. The golf proceeds will be processed as

part of Bracebridge’s and Huntsville’s overall community

contributions, so that it may be eligible for 2 for 1

matching under The Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance

Program. The funds will be distributed with the help of

the Salvation Army, working in conjunction with local

Disaster Relief Committees, to those identified as most in

need following the flood. Each community received

$7,947 from the tournament.

Both Wiseman and Reid said there were many people in

their respective communities who were adversely

affected by the floods, and the contributions like the

one today from MP Clement, are helping families who

have had to struggle to get their lives back to normal.

Workers, Families to Benefit from European Union Trade Deal, says MP Clement

October 18, 2013, OTTAWA – Businesses in Parry Sound-

Muskoka and across the country stand to benefit greatly from

the announcement that Canada has reached an agreement

in principle on a Comprehensive Economic and Trade

Agreement (CETA) with the European Union, said Parry Sound-

Muskoka MP Tony Clement.

“This will open new markets to Canadian exporters

throughout Europe and generate significant benefits, new jobs

and opportunities for all Canadians,” said MP Clement. “I

have visited businesses across Parry Sound-Muskoka, including

Langford Canoe, MBRP Inc., Crofters, Ontario Graphite, Kent

Trusses and Bioscenta, that have indicated a deal of this

nature holds potential for growth.”

The Agreement will provide Canada with preferential market

access to the European Union’s more than 500 million

consumers. Canadian workers in every region of the country –

including in sectors such as fish and seafood; chemicals and

plastics; metal and mineral products; technology; forestry and

value-added wood products; automotive; advanced

manufacturing; and agriculture and agri-food – stand to

benefit significantly from increased access to this lucrative 28

country market which currently generates $17 trillion in annual

economic activity.

“This is a significant win for Canada. The benefits of this agreement

are equivalent to creating almost 80,000 new jobs,” said MP

Clement. “Increased trade opportunities also provide Parry

Sounders and Muskokans a greater choice of lower-priced goods

and services. This helps our families make ends meets, and can

boost our overall standard of living.”

When Canada trades, the whole country becomes more

competitive, as:

■Prices for goods and services fall;

■Wages, salaries and our standard of living rise;

■Businesses can hire more workers; and

■Canadian families benefit from greater choice and selection in

goods and services.

The elimination of 98 per cent of all EU tariffs on the first day that

the Agreement comes into force will translate into increased profits

and opportunities for Canadian businesses of all sizes in every part

of the country.

For example, the elimination of EU tariffs in the agricultural sector

and the fish and seafood sector will mean that lobster fishermen in

the Maritimes, maple syrup producers in Québec, apple growers in

Ontario, grain producers in the prairies, cherry growers in British

Columbia and arctic char farmers in the Yukon who export to the

EU will see their bottom lines improve.

Historic Nature of the Canada-EU Trade Agreement

CETA is by far Canada’s most ambitious trade initiative ever. It is

broader in scope and deeper in ambition than the historic North

American Free Trade Agreement:

■CETA will make Canada one of the only developed countries to

have preferential access to the world’s two largest markets – the

European Union and the United States.

■Access to these markets’ 800 million+ affluent consumers will

make Canadians the envy of trading nations all over the world.

■It will make Canada an even more attractive destination for

investors and manufacturers, which will create jobs and

opportunities for all Canadians.

Clement to celebrate the tabling in Parliament of a trade

agreement with the EU in Ottawa on October 29, 2013.

Minister Shea Welcomes Applications for

Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnerships

Program Funding

OTTAWA, Ontario – The Honourable Gail Shea, Minister of Fisheries and

Oceans, today announced that the Government of Canada is now

accepting funding applications for the second phase of the Recreational

Fisheries Conservation Partnerships Program.

“Recreational fishing contributes significantly to our economy, especially in

rural areas,” said Minister Shea. “As outlined in Economic Action Plan 2013,

our Government is proud to support the restoration and rebuilding of

recreational fisheries habitat. We will continue to work with our partners to

protect Canada’s valuable oceans, lakes and rivers for future

generations.”

The Government of Canada is making $10 million available over two years

to support conservation activities through partnerships with local groups

who will undertake a variety of projects to restore recreational fisheries

habitat. Approximately 100 projects were approved for up to $6.4 million in

funding, in the first round of applications this summer.

DFO will accept applications for funding from November 4 to December

18, 2013. Additional program information as well as the application form

and guidelines are available on the Department’s web site at: www.dfo-

mpo.gc.ca/habitat/rfcpp-ppcpr/index-eng.asp.

Recreational fishing contributes significantly to the Canadian economy. In

2010, anglers generated $8.3 billion to local economies, an increase of 10%

over 2005. A 2010 survey found that over 3.3 million adult anglers

participated in a variety of recreational fishing activities in Canada,

essentially the same number as in 2005. Anglers fished for over 43 million

days. Almost 93% of activity occurred in fresh water. Canadian non-

resident and foreign anglers made over two million trips within Canada in

2010.

MP Clement called on the local community to

take action to prevent cyber and sexual

violence against women and girls.

“Violence against women and girls has

devastating and far-reaching effects on the

community,” said MP Clement. “The projects

supported by this call for proposals will reduce

violence against women in [CITY] and reach

out to those who have been affected by such

violence. I am proud of the Harper

Government’s support for grassroots initiatives

like these, which improve safety for women

where they live and work.”

The Harper Government will be funding these

new projects through a Status of Women

Canada call for proposals entitled Cyber and

Sexual Violence: Helping Communities

Respond.

Applications by organizations will be

accepted until December 1st, 2013. For more

information on the call for proposals and

eligibility requirements, please visit

women.gc.ca.

In addition to this new call for proposals, the

Harper Government recently announced in

the Speech from the Throne its intention to

introduce legislation that will give police and

prosecutors new tools to address

cyberbullying. This legislation will also create

a new criminal offence prohibiting the non-

consensual distribution of intimate images.

Since 2007, the Harper Government has

funded more than $62 million for projects to

end violence against women and girls

through the Women’s Program at Status

of Women Canada. Government of

Canada support for community-based

projects has nearly doubled since 2006-

2007, supporting more than 600 projects

across the country.

Later this month, the Harper Government

will recognize 16 Days of Activism Against

Gender Violence, and will mark the

International Day for the Elimination of

Violence against Women on November

25, 2013, as well as Canada’s National

Day of Remembrance and Action on

Violence against Women on December 6,

2013.
