Families
In these tough economic times, standing up for families is more important than ever. The Federal Government is delivering on its commitments to families. We understand that everyone is stretching to make ends meet. Our Government introduced measures that give families a break, long before the global recession hit, and now Canada’s Economic Action Plan is making sure families get the support they need. The Conservative Record Delivered a new child tax credit, the Universal Child Care Benefit which provides families with $100 a month per child, and a break for families that enrol their kids in amateur sports.

Sovereignty
Canada’s Arctic is central to our national identity as a northern nation. For thirteen years, previous Liberal governments were asleep at the switch and did nothing to assert Canada’s domain over the North.

With concrete results: Construction of eight Arctic Offshore Patrol Ships; Construction of an Arctic deep ...

Dear Residents of Guelph,
When I retired from serving our country in the military in 2000, my family chose Guelph as the place to put down our roots. Guelph is a great city in so many ways. A great spirit of volunteerism, a world-class university, environmentally conscious, marvelous architecture, a safe community to raise our children.
We must do all we can to maintain this way of life. However, it is equally important for us to help those less fortunate in our community and in our world. This can’t be done without proven leadership representing Guelph in Ottawa.
I spent 23 years serving you in our armed forces. Now I want to serve you as Member of Parliament for Guelph.
I am just middle-class, middle-aged, married, mortgaged Marty - with children. As such I hold the same views on the issues of the day as you do. Let’s talk - over the next few months I will be knocking on your door - election or not! Or if you'd prefer, send me a note via this website.
I love Canada. I know you do as well. Let’s make our country and our world better.
Marty Burke Conservative Party Candidate Guelph
