Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. In the interest of ensuring that we achieve goals for Canadians in common, and with the Leader of the Opposition here, I ask for unanimous consent to amend the motion by deleting everything after the word “consumers” and replacing it with the following, “especially those with low incomes. This House calls upon the government to assist Canadians in coping with the rising financial burden and that this House strongly urges provincial and territorial governments to consider providing similar assistance”.
In the House of Commons on September 21st, 2000. See this statement in context.
