The people of Simcoe-Grey have spoken

And they are pleased.

"I am familiar with that, but that’s certainly not what I’ve heard when they (people) come into my constituency office and we have a conversation about taking a step back and recalibrating and taking a look at the global economic crisis," said Guergis. "It is important that we take a step back and take a look at the agenda and make sure we are on the right track."

Instead of outrage, Guergis said people are "pleased" with the shutdown. "It’s a great opportunity to further consult with Canadians," she said. "They are pleased with the direction of the government and the Economic Action Plan and they are pleased we are taking a step back."
