Committees Of The House April 25th, 1996
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to the House leaders' meeting of earlier in the week, I believe you will find unanimous consent for the following.
I move:
Pursuant to its mandate in relation to the comprehensive review of the Young Offenders Act, phase II, and specifically, to observe how the youth justice system operates in practice, that the Standing Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, six members, four from the Liberal Party including the chair, one from the Bloc Quebecois and one from the Reform Party, be authorized to travel to Toronto, London and Windsor, Ontario, from May 5 to 10, 1996 in order to hold public hearings, visit sites, young offender facilities and programs, and meet with officials and that the necessary staff do accompany the committee.
(Motion agreed to.)
Business Of The House April 25th, 1996
Mr. Speaker, today and tomorrow we will continue debate on second reading of Bill C-31, the budget implementation bill.
Bill C-12, the employment insurance bill, will be reported from committee shortly, and by the end of next week we will commence the report stage.
Monday shall be an allotted day. Since the table requires that this be confirmed by a minister of the crown, the secretary of state for aquaculture will want to confirm this.
I shall be in touch with members opposite concerning the schedule between the allotted day and the commencement of Bill C-12.
Regional Development April 25th, 1996
Mr. Speaker, I rise today not in defence of ACOA the agency, but in defence of ACOA the concept.
In the 45-page report on crown financial institutions, the banking committee of the other place runs roughshod over the regional development agencies and, in the words of one senator, suggests ACOA be put out of its misery. The committee has not done its homework and demonstrates little appreciation for this agency's work or for Atlantic Canada's current and future economic circumstances.
The other place appears to forget its constitutional mandate to defend the interests of the region. The status quo is not what Atlantic Canada needs. We want our region to continue the drive to self-sufficiency.
The Senate committee has recommended that we throw out the baby, the bath water and even the tub. We in this House will not stand idly by.
