Joe Oliver named finance minister
– moneysense.ca
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Stephen Harper has named Joe Oliver as his new finance minister.
Oliver — who had been the natural resources minister — replaces Jim Flaherty, who has decided to resign from cabinet.
Junior minister Greg Rickford, meanwhile, takes over at Natural Resources, but retains responsibility for the agency overseeing development of the Ring of Fire mineral deposit in northern Ontario.
Ed Holder, who represents the southern Ontario riding of London West, replaces Rickford as minister of state for science and technology.
The 73-year-old Oliver is widely respected within the Harper cabinet and among Conservatives, and is well known on Bay Street, having spent decades working there as an investment banker.
He went on to become executive director of the Ontario Securities Commission and then president of the Investment Dealers Association of Canada.

The Flaherty era in budgeting
– macleans.ca
Last night, I asked Kevin Page, the first parliamentary budget officer whose work was criticized by Jim Flaherty, if he had anything to say about Mr. Flaherty’s resignation. Here is what he sent along.
I wish Minister Flaherty and his family the very best.
I thank him for his service. He worked tirelessly for his country in one of the most difficult portfolios during a global financial crisis. He deserves appreciation and thanks from all Canadians.
On a more humorous note, I thank him for giving the Parliamentary Budget Office a chance to shine. If his Department of Finance provided better projections and more transparent analysis, it would have been more difficult to launch a legislative budget office.
Eight years ago now, Mr. Flaherty stood in the House of Commons and delivered his first budget speech. It included note of the new office that would be established to scrutinize the government’s math.
We are committing the funds necessary to establish a parliamentary budget office…
