Public Service Integrity Officer of Canada November 22nd, 2006
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 32(2), I have the honour to table in the House of Commons the annual report to Parliament of the Public Service Integrity Officer of Canada.
Quebec November 20th, 2006
Mr. Speaker, our government has already taken concrete action to demonstrate the unique place Quebec has in Canada, consider Quebec's role at UNESCO and our support for the celebration of Quebec City's 400th anniversary.
Our government is addressing the priorities of Quebeckers by supporting families, lowering taxes and fighting crime. We are not going to get sidetracked by semantics.
Quebec November 20th, 2006
Mr. Speaker, this government is committed to creating a federalism of openness that builds on the strengths of every province and every territory in our federation and that recognizes the culture, the civil law tradition and the French-speaking majority of Quebec.
Our government is addressing the priorities of Quebeckers by supporting families, lowering taxes and fighting crime. We are not going to get sidetracked by semantics.
Taxation November 20th, 2006
Mr. Speaker, I have already said that our government took major steps in the 2006 budget to restore the fiscal balance. I will tell my colleague that our government has done a lot of things when it comes to the fiscal imbalance.
During the years when the Liberals were in power, they refused to recognize that the problem existed. The Bloc Québécois can promise the moon because people know it is a party that will never be in a position to keep its promises.
Taxation November 20th, 2006
Mr. Speaker, we did a lot of things in the 2006 budget to restore the fiscal balance in this country. We will have to do more in the 2007 budget, with the Minister of Finance and the Prime Minister.
Criminal Code November 6th, 2006
Mr. Speaker, we have a plan to restore the fiscal balance.
We have done many things in the 2006 budget. We have reduced taxes, respected provincial jurisdiction and given a great deal of money to federal institutions.
We are going to take other measures in the 2007 budget to restore the fiscal balance. We are going to create a new federal infrastructure plan, an equalization plan, a plan for post-secondary education and a plan to spend part of the federal surplus. That is how we propose to restore the fiscal balance.
I would add that the Bloc Québécois can promise the moon, because it will not form the government.
Canada Elections Act November 6th, 2006
Mr. Speaker, I wish to ask a question of my colleague from Regina about some of the timings of the elections in the last number of years. As the House knows, there were a number of elections that were called on very short order. The one I remember most fondly is the 2000 election, where only three years into a five year term the government of the day called a snap election and at a time when many of the other parties were not prepared or ready to have an election.
Could the member tell us how Bill C-16 addresses some of the concerns that were generated from that snap election call?
Sports November 6th, 2006
Mr. Speaker, aboriginal Canadians have had a long proud tradition in sport in this country. We have Canadians like Tom Longboat who won the Boston Marathon in 1907 and set a world record in doing so. We have Canadians like Jordin Tootoo who plays for the Nashville Predators.
As the Minister for Sport, I am pleased to announce that we will be building on this tradition by contributing $3.5 million to the North American Indigenous Games to be held by the Cowichan Tribes in the beautiful province of British Columbia.
Our government's contribution to these games demonstrates our commitment to aboriginal Canadians' participation and excellence in sport.
