Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his presentation on Bill C-9, an 880 page omnibus bill, which is very rare in politics but not so rare when dealing with this particular Parliament and the present government. While I do not agree with the nuclear option, the fact is that we

Jobs and Economic Growth Act   voted against the huge monster it has created. We cannot support this omnibus Bill C-9.

Jobs and Economic Growth Act   are not, the government has decided to make a Trojan Horse, an omnibus bill in which everything is crammed, and then point the gun of an election at the opposition to force a vote on something that probably many members in the official opposition, the Liberals, find distasteful as well

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, I was listening to my two colleagues who talked about Bill C-9. It is clear that this is an omnibus bill in which we find a million completely different elements lumped together that should each be presented individually. When my colleague talked about security

Jobs and Economic Growth Act   or not do certain things when it comes to Canada Post and the other measures, this basically amounts to an omnibus bill, and, as my colleague who sits beside me said, of 880 pages. He is absolutely correct. The House and Canadians deserve to have parliamentarians debate the issues

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Madam Speaker, I listened to what my colleague was saying. I agree with most of his comments but I would like his thoughts on something else. The government is trying to ram the partial deregulation of Canada Post down our throats through this mini omnibus budget. The fact

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, once again we are in our third day of speeches on an 880 page omnibus bill, which has a number of measures that do not belong it, and not one government member has spoken to it. The debate is just among the opposition parties. We are not debating the government. We

Jobs and Economic Growth Act   situation. Every year it would bring in a big omnibus bill like this, throw in a whole bunch of surprises and dare the opposition to call an election. If that is what this is all about, then let us call a spade a spade. The government is trying to privatize Canada Post by stealth

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his comments. This omnibus budget implementation bill provides for the dismantling of Canada Post. In my speech, I described this budget as a very devious move by the government. This is not the first time the government has tried

Jobs and Economic Growth Act   that it would never pass because of members like the member for Burnaby—New Westminster who would dig his heels in and make sure it did not get passed. The Conservatives put it in this omnibus bill, which is a treacherous way to approach an issue like this. Would the member like to continue

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  , because that is going to be the focus of my remarks. What was previously known as Bill C-14 and Bill C-44 is now incorporated into the budget implementation bill, basically making it an omnibus bill. They have stuffed everything they can possibly legally manage and think

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, I have been looking forward to asking Conservative government members questions, but we cannot find one who will speak and support this 880-page omnibus bill, the budget implementation bill. I would like to ask if one of the government members would speak about

Jobs and Economic Growth Act   Conservative government is doing these kinds of things, dropping an 880-page omnibus bill with things like post office remailers in it, if it can get away with that and not even speak to its own 880-page bill, if it could do that in a minority situation, imagine what our future would

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the member for her speech today, and certainly the reaction she is getting indicates she is making a very controversial point and winning the argument hands down. As the member said, the bill is 880 pages long. We are talking about an omnibus

Jobs and Economic Growth Act   and putting in some guidelines and some restrictions on runaway corporate benefits and corporate salaries, especially when it is giving them extra incentives by reducing their taxes. As I have indicated, this is an omnibus bill. The government is introducing all sorts of extra measures
