Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have the opportunity to rise and speak at third and final reading to the jobs and economic growth act, referred to in the House as Bill C-9. We spent quite a bit of time debating this, and I am almost as happy as most Canadians are to see

Jobs and Economic Growth Act   we have been over the last little while. It is called the jobs and economic growth act, but by another name, we call it the budget implementation act. Just a couple of years ago, regarding the budget implementation bill, there were certain details regarding fiscal payments

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate this opportunity to speak in strong support of the jobs and economic growth act. The jobs and economic growth act and budget 2010 are key components of Canada's aggressive plan to protect and grow our economy through Canada's economic action plan

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, the jobs and economic growth act, which implements many key measures from budget 2010, is a key component of Canada's economic action plan. As members likely know, Canada's economic action plan represents our Conservative government's aggressive response

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, I rise to start the second reading debate on the jobs and economic growth act. This ambitious legislation includes key elements of budget 2010 and year two of Canada's economic action plan. The jobs and economic growth act, a key component of that plan

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise to speak to Bill C-9, the budget implementation bill. The misnomer of course is the subtitle, which is “Jobs and Economic Growth Act”. I think a number of speakers from this corner of the House, from the NDP, have pointed out how inappropriate

Jobs and Economic Growth Act   in the budget speech and there are other things which were not listed, mentioned, or itemized in the ways and means motion. What this bill comes forward looking like is what we sometimes call an omnibus bill. It is an omnibus bill. At least that is what some would say at first blush

Jobs and Economic Growth Act   and ensure that this unbelievable omnibus bill, Bill C-9, that they have unjustifiably tried to put everything into, does not pass. Earlier, when we were examining the motion to limit debate, I said that what was happening was undemocratic. This bill contains more than 2,200 clauses

Jobs and Economic Growth Act   in Ontario back in the 1990s when we would see things like this omnibus bill. We know the havoc that wreaked on the province of Ontario when we had all those omnibus bills under the previous premier, Mike Harris, and some of those members on the front bench, including the Minister

Jobs and Economic Growth Act   that category. I have stood in the House repeatedly challenging the government to use omnibus crime bills as opposed to, as it is wont to do repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly, individual bills on crime, and of course, taking advantage of all the publicity that it gets, which I find quite

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  , in the budget, in excess of a $50 billion surplus. Bill C-9 is an omnibus bill. Canadians should know that an omnibus bill is one which does many things all in the same package. Normally we would see those in terms of justice legislation, where there are three or four proposed changes

Jobs and Economic Growth Act   takes me back to 1889-90 in a minority government in Manitoba when the Filmon Conservatives did similar omnibus bills over a two year period, I believe. Not only did we have the budget implementation measures put into a bill, but we had extra items thrown in. One

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  . It is an omnibus bill, as a number of speakers have pointed out. It includes the privatization of Canada Post, for example, and measures that have nothing to do with a budget. Our finance critic mentioned that in his speech. The bill contains a number of things that have never even been
