The conservative platform included pledges to eliminate the Federal deficit by 2014-2015 - one year earlier than planned in the most recent estimates of the party. The Conservatives did not exactly say how they would find the $ 11 billion in savings needed to balance the books from the beginning, but leader Stephen Harper said that they would find their effectiveness through a strategic review and operating costs.
