Trudeau speaks to Liberal economic, security and employment plans continued from p.1 that's what we need to pull together." Exactly two years after being nominated to lead the party, Trudeau sees the election issue of the day as the Conservatives' economic plan. "The core election issue for me is going to be who has a real plan to help the middle class and deliver growth that works for all Canadians." The Liberals have opposed the Conservatives' income-splitting measures, and are promising, if elected, to reverse the eligibility for Old Age Security benefits to 65 years of age. Trudeau said since the recession, the majority of jobs have been precarious work, not permanent positions. "The middle class needs more help than the upper income levels and that's the contrast point with Mr. Harper," he said.

The Liberals are in support of some of the measures that will "immediately increase the safety of Canadians," such as no-fly lists, and better use of preventative arrests. "We've settled into a political landscape in which the Conservatives are pushing security, but are not worried about privacy or... getting the balance right," he said. oversight in terms of making sure these unpaid internships are either paid, or are directly associated with a credible university program," he said The Conservatives now hold three of Halton's federal ridings: Burlington, Oakville and Milton. Liberals in the new Oakville-North Burlington riding had selected Oakville councillor Max Khan as their candidate, however, he died suddenly in late March. "To lose him like this has been terrible for the whole community, not just because of a strong voice we had, but because I know he had so much to offer in Ottawa," Trudeau said. "He was a great example of the kind of person deeply committed to community and to the values that make this country strong."
