"Advantage Canada" has been released by the federal government. 

It's a long-term economic plan designed to strengthen the country's economy by reducing taxes and lowering debt, among other initiatives. 

 

Selkirk-Interlake MP James Bezan believes it's long overdue.  He says families have an economic plan, and so should the government of Canada. 

 

The plan includes developing a skilled and educated workforce and building the most modern infrastructure. 

 

Bezan says it's the first of its kind in over 20 years.
