Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements And Federal Post-Secondary Education And Health Contributions Act  "What about Yukon", somebody asks. Yukon is the same. I am not saying that New Democratic governments always work super well everywhere, just like I do not think anybody here would say the Tories or Liberals-Reform has a short record so far-essentially work everywhere. I am

Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements And Federal Post-Secondary Education And Health Contributions Act   in this debate. However I do not want to get into the Reform Party schtick of saying: "Mary Bloggs from this town asked me to raise this question". I have been asked to at least raise the question on behalf of the city of Vancouver in terms of what it perceives to be an unfairness

Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements And Federal Post-Secondary Education And Health Contributions Act  My cheek is bulging. I said that with my tongue in my cheek. What Mr. Klein is doing is a typical Conservative or perhaps Reform approach to the world. We will see how that works out in the next few months. We tried a different approach in British Columbia. We tried what I

These are programs that fund our health care system in Canada and fund post-secondary education. I told one of my colleagues from the Reform Party who called me a socialist Liberal, the other day-I thank you for the compliment by the way

Thus Quebec wants to break free from this system. Many times we proposed the way to do it. Perhaps that could satisfy our member of the Reform Party. Does he

It was pointed out by one of the Reform speakers yesterday, and I appreciated his comments, that the proposal put forward in the bill by the finance minister gives the program an element of certainty. We are going to know for the next five years what this program

Agriculture  Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Agriculture. I want to assure my colleagues in the Reform Party that it deals with an issue of importance not only to my riding but to many farmers across the country. In the red book we promised a system of whole farm support

Immigration  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for his question. I took note of the statement by the member on January 31 with respect to the same issue. While members of the Reform may laugh, it is very important the member underline the role that settlement plays when we have

Cigarette Smuggling  Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding that the chiefs in question are democratically elected by the residents of the reserves. The people on the reserves will likely think the Reform Party leader's suggestion is a strange form of democracy if he wants the government to march

West Coast Ports Operations Act, 1994  Mr. Speaker, not to presume on the goodwill of the House, but on the Order Paper is Motion No. 5 standing under government business. It was the original reform motion and was superseded by a new one that was moved and carried with the indulgence of the House yesterday. The old

There will be a debate on second reading: first the minister, then the opposition, the Reform Party, and perhaps a few other members, and after the motion for second reading is passed, the bill would be referred to a committee of the whole, according to the motion. That is all. And perhaps afterwards

Members Of Parliament Retiring Allowances  Mr. Speaker, I can assure the Prime Minister that we will not want to have that double option. I have a supplementary question. As Reformers we want to save the taxpayers' money.

Imagine the kind of embarrassment those people must be feeling right now because they want to shove that all aside.
