CPAC's Leaders' Tour follows the party Leaders as they campaign across Canada leading up to the federal election on January 23, 2006. In Richmond, B.C., Liberal Party Leader Paul Martin visits a sawmill. He discusses the Liberal Party's promises to help the Canadian people and communities affected by the softwood lumber dispute with the United States. These promises include: committing $1.5 billion to help Canadians cope with the immediate pressures of the dispute; committing $580 million in support of communities vital to the forestry industry, like bioenergy production; accelerating the capital cost allowance for bioenergy investments, to provide the industry with up to $110 million in tax savings; committing $800 million in loan insurance for companies affected by dispute; and committing $100 million in the form of repayable contributions for smaller firms. After his announcement, he responds to reporters. In Vancouver, Conservative Party Leader Stephen Harper states that there is a need to pursue measures to put Canada back at the forefront of democratic practice. The Conservative Party proposes three critical reforms: modernizing the Senate by electing senators rather than appointing them; setting fair, fixed election dates; and cleaning up internal party politics through grassroots democratic control of the nominations process. He responds to reporters after his announcement. Also in Vancouver, NDP Leader Jack Layton speaks with students at Byrne Creek Secondary School. He says he doesn't blame people for being skeptical of politicians, but a lot can be accomplished through the political system. He provides examples, including Medicare and clean energy advances, and focusses particularly on what young people can accomplish. After speaking, he takes questions from the students, and then from reporters. In Montreal, Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe argues that the riding of Papineau needs an MP like Bloc candidate Vivian Barbot, who will represent the people there and support programs like employment insurance and low-income housing. He takes questions, and says he expects the tempo of the election campaign will pick up after the holiday season. <89mn>
