Careful Cabinetry
The Government of Canada is busy, involved and alert to its duties. The Prime Minister has been busy meeting, along with members of his cabinet, with visiting foreign dignitaries; most recently Yemen came calling, asking for international aid funding. Prime Minister Harper met with NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, stopping by briefly on his travels to key NATO countries to discuss "momentum"in Afghanistan.
The Prime Minister has also been busy with any number of other distractions.
Above all, Canada's emergency response to the tragedy ongoing in Haiti. Determining the level of aid to be offered, dispatching Canada's DART team, naval vessels and additional military in an effort to help restore calm and order to a scene of chaos and desperation.
And then too, the vital coordination of a cabinet shuffle. And prior to that official movement of members of the current cabinet there was another initiative in informing the cabinet of priority given to health and security safety issues to be brought forward for discussion at cabinet meetings, excluding other issues that might require additional funding.
Cost-cutting measures to be undertaken in a needed effort to restrain the budget, in an attempt to bring order to the funding issuing from the country's treasury, and the need to balance that with the nasty deficit and groaning debt owing to stimulus responses to the economic downturn.
Cabinet ministers who are performing an outstanding job in their portfolios stay right where they are.
And those who have done fairly well, but could perhaps do better in other portfolios considered more suited to their talents and background experiences have been placed elsewhere. Those ministers whose performances have been understated have been retained, but given other ministries to look after.
All orderly and well considered and in the best interests of Parliament and of the people it serves.
