Taxation  Mr. Speaker, it is both. The total payroll tax of a $60,000-a-year earner went from $3,400 under the previous Conservative government to $4,168 today. The reality is that none of that was necessary and the Liberals want to use the money for anything but EI. On top of that, now

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, the answer is neither. Guess what Canadians paid in 2015 in EI if they earned $60,000? It was $930. Guess what they pay now? It is $948. That is an increase. Furthermore, if we look at total payroll taxes, they have gone from $3,400 to $4,100 under the government

The Economy   $3,400 a month for mortgage payments. The potential of a 3% rate hike means $3,400 turns into $5,200. Why is the government drowning Canadian homeowners in the debt of tomorrow to pay for the pet projects of today?

Committees of the House   to Standing NATO Maritime Group One. In the air, we have a CP-140 Aurora long range patrol aircraft, and two CC-130 transport aircraft operating in the Euro-Atlantic area, and we look forward to resuming our enhanced air policing mission in Romania later this year. We also have 3,400 CAF

Official Languages committee  Yes indeed, and we are hiring unilingual francophones. We have almost 3,400 employees in Quebec. We have many employees in our operations department who operate in parts of the province that, as you suggest, speak only French, and we have many of these employees who speak only

Foreign Affairs committee  NATO has taken a whole series of actions to strengthen our eastern flank. One of them is the deployment of the first stages of the NATO response force to which, as has correctly been said, we have offered 3,400 troops. We have also made available troops immediately to strengthen

The Budget   2%, and paid 5% down, they would probably be paying about $3,400 a month for their mortgage. Let us say that it goes up even 3%, which does not sound like a lot. Let us say that the mortgage goes up 3% when it is time to renew it in a couple of years. That would mean

National Defence committee  The additional 3,400 troops are on high alert in what we call the “NATO Response Force”. That's a force that's available to NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, the highest commander in NATO, to draw from when he activates new plans. No decision has been made on activating

Business of Supply   in Latvia, and an additional frigate and patrol aircraft. As well, approximately 3,400 Canadian Armed Forces personnel across all branches of the service are authorized to deploy to the NATO response force, if they are required. On March 8, the Prime Minister announced that Canada would

Business of Supply   maritime patrol that has been transferred to NATO command is important. The fact that we are commencing our next rotation of NATO-enhanced air policing in Romania is important. The extension of our commitment is important, and 3,400 Canadian Armed Forces are on high readiness in case

Government Operations committee   forward. I have no reason to suspect anything. Lockheed Martin is a well-reputed company and is very capable. In this particular program, of course, they've already sold 700 or 800 of these. They're producing 3,400 in total and about 2,400 A versions. They are very capable and very

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, the government has committed 3,400 troops to augment NATO's eastern flank should Putin's war spread to an alliance member. NATO members have contingencies to safeguard troops in case Putin deploys nuclear or chemical weapons. The Liberals stood down our military

National Defence committee  This is for the vice-CDS. Perhaps she could finish replying to the questions that we asked, the first one being the amount of money allocated to our 3,400 potential troops that would be deployed to Op Reassurance, should it become necessary. What amount is being set aside

National Defence committee  Given the potential to be in a hot conflict zone involving CBRNs, how much is being allocated to ensure that our 3,400 troops committed to Operation Reassurance have, should it become necessary, the personal protection gear in place?

National Defence committee  We can save that for the next round, then. What amount is being allocated for the pre-deployment readiness exercises for these 3,400 committed troops?
