That's probably what the growth fund is aimed at: getting at more government growth like that. Apparently, they needed a fund to help them grow the fisheries department from 10,000 to 15,000. By the way, over 1,000 of those jobs were, shockingly, in Ottawa, bringing the grand total of HR people in the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to over 832, and over 1,000 people in its finance department. With this kind of growth in people, there are a lot of paycheques to manage. You need to have more HR and finance people to process all of those additional people.
Division 33 is “Legislation Related to Financial Institutions”. I know division 34.... Everybody here will agree that I always expect, in a budget bill, to see Criminal Code amendments. Criminal Code amendments are essential for balancing the budget in Canada. That's why, apparently, this omnibus bill thinks that is directly related to the budget on the Criminal Code. There are amendments to the Employment Insurance Act in division 35 and the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 in division 36. Division 37 has amendments to another act, the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act. Now, you may say, “That's a budget item”, but why isn't that its own...if this government opposed, as it said in 2015, all omnibus bills?
We're not speaking to whether or not previous governments used omnibus bills, because we're now at eight years and there are only so many years one can claim, “The dog ate my homework—it's Stephen Harper's fault I did an omnibus bill”. I don't know why Stephen Harper is responsible for this omnibus bill. Apparently, the Liberals can't think on their own and have to say that Stephen Harper made them do it. It's sort of like—I'm going to show my age again—Flip Wilson in the seventies, when the devil made him do it.
