Martin brings economic slant to Liberal campaign in Vancouver
Former prime minister Paul Martin, has been fronting the Liberal campaign across the country, attacking both the Conservatives and the federal New Democrats on their economic agendas.
About 300 enthusiastic supporters chanted Martin's name as he gave a speech at a Liberal fundraising luncheon on Wednesday in the riding of Vancouver-Kingsway.
He talked about lessons learned during his time as Canada's finance minister and criticized the Conservative government for depleting the surplus, putting the country at risk economically.
He also said Jack Layton's platform lacked an economic focus at the federal level.
"It's not exactly strange that I would be talking about the economy given my own time in government," Martin said.
