The Harper government is looking to brand its coming budget as an exercise in long-term employment creation rather than an austerity effort that will balance the books.

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty will deliver a budget Thursday that is expected to make significant cuts to government departments and agencies, reducing public-sector jobs across the country. But he insists the cuts will be moderate.

The government wants Canadians to see the budget as a growth plan, and not simply a slashing exercise aimed at eliminating the deficit.

If you concentrate on savings, you are going to miss out on what this budget is all about; its about long-term sustainability for jobs, growth and prosperity, a senior government official said Sunday.

The government will lay out five broad themes in the budget: support for innovation and research; overhauling regulation for resource development; investing in training and opportunity; support for families and communities; and ensuring the long-term sustainability of major social programs like Old Age Security.

During a stop in Tokyo, Prime Minister Stephen Harper promised new spending in key areas to promote job growth, even as Mr. Flaherty plans to cut billions of dollars from the overall budget.

Well also be making some very significant investments and changes to ensure the growth of the Canadian economy in the future, to ensure that we continue to create jobs, and that we have long-term prosperity and sustainability of our social programs, the Prime Minister said Sunday.

Canadas labour market has gone into reverse in the past five months losing an average of 7,400 jobs a month since October even as the U.S. economy has begun to show signs of vigour.

In response, Ottawa is emphasizing measures that it says will boost the economy and job creation over the long term, including streamlining environmental review for major projects and funding training programs so that Canadians can fill the demand for skilled labour in the resource sector.

Canadians can also expect a post-budget advertising campaign promoting the Conservative governments economic action plan, which will tout measures to boost job growth rather than the cuts needed to balance the budget.
