Borrowing Authority Act, 1995-96  Mr. Speaker, I have been listening to budget speeches for at least 30 years. Except for a brief 8-year period of Conservative government, the Liberals were in office for most of those 30 years. I have yet to see a Minister of Finance table a budget in this House and say

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal budget eliminates the WGTA subsidy by August 1 of this year, cuts the dairy subsidy by 30 per cent, cuts safety net programs by 30 per cent, and eliminates the feed freight assistance. The government has taken away the funding but has not taken away

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation  Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Canadian Heritage. Yesterday Tony Manera, the president of the CBC, resigned because the Liberals broke their red book promise for stable multi-year funding to the CBC. Manera says that in the next three years the government plans

The Budget   and downloading as the Liberals are trying to do, at the same time removing $4.5 billion which means that if we are going to maintain the same level of service, which may or may not be necessary, the taxes would then have to go up at the provincial level. If we can just set that aside, I

The Budget  Madam Speaker, when I listen to many of the Liberal members I am reminded of Eliza Doolittle. She was getting very frustrated and she finally sang a song which I believe was "Words, words, words. I am so sick of words". I listened to the member talk about the proposal where

The Budget   that comparison. The people I share this with, the people of my riding and other ridings and the people from my party and other parties, except for the Reform Party, seem to relate that there is a danger in overkill. Definitely, Canadians and the Liberal government would like to say let us

The Budget   after a Liberal government. I had to take over after the Tories.

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, the minister claims that his budget protects social programs from unfair unnecessary cuts, but the real social cut is lurking in the massive unnecessary interest charges that this government is irresponsibly building by not attacking the deficit more quickly

The Budget  Mr. Wilson would say: "We had to face financial reality. We had to take tough measures that will transform the way the Government of Canada works. In doing so we have turned the corner. We have stabilized the debt to GDP ratio. The next budget will bring it down. We are well

Province Of Quebec  Mr. Speaker, government officials, whether municipal, provincial or federal, are elected to represent their constituents. Both the Parti Quebecois and Bloc Quebecois do not seem to agree with this. Their idea of a referendum is not to find out what the people of Quebec want

Young Offenders Act  ". The bar association recognizes that one of the major flaws in this bill is the lack of resources that we are willing to allocate to our young people's social reintegration. I would also like to mention what a colleague from the Liberal Party, the hon. member for London West, said

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, this Monday our government will be tabling its second budget. It is an opportunity to restore fiscal soundness and integrity to the Canadian economy. However, it is equally important that this not to occur at the expense of the middle class who already pay

Atlantic Canada  : They should rethink their budget and their approach to regional development. Recognize that Atlantic Canada is a great place to be. It is going to be a have part of this country in the not too distant future because we are taking advantage of those investments this Liberal government

City Of Mississauga   in Mississauga is yet one more signal that Mississaugans and Canadians are confident in the Prime Minister and the Liberal government.

Unemployment Insurance Act  -making, devoid of content. Why do I bother, you might ask, Mr. Speaker? I do so to protest the government's attitude in this matter.
