Statements in the House

Government Response To Petitions March 11th, 1996

Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8), I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to nine petitions presented during the first session.

The Budget March 7th, 1996

Mr. Speaker, I have listened carefully to the hon. member. I was hoping perhaps he might share with us either his personal views or his party's views on a couple of specifics, namely the seniors benefit, the child support changes, the credit for infirm dependants and the charitable donation changes.

The hon. member talked about the fact that there were no issues which dealt with securing the social safety net. There are some very concrete specifics on which we would certainly like to hear from the Reform Party, particularly as they relate to seniors and young people. I would be anxious to have him respond to the specifics about what this government has proposed in this budget.
