Agricultural Marketing Programs Act November 5th, 1996
Mr. Speaker, I accept what the government whip is indicating. Perhaps we can deal with private members' business first and then the government business, and that will avoid confusion as well.
Agricultural Marketing Programs Act November 5th, 1996
Mr. Speaker, prior to the vote the government whip was seeking unanimous consent, with the concurrence of the other whips, to have private members' votes today voted on last. I interpreted that to mean private members' business was not as important as government business. If that is not the case and the government would like to explain the reasons why it wants it done that way I would be pleased to reconsider my objection.
Child Poverty November 5th, 1996
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
While the stock market is soaring and records are being set on Bay Street, Canadians are setting records for poverty. Canadian children are going to bed hungry. The unemployment rate is unacceptably high and millions of Canadians are looking toward a bleak Christmas.
What specific measures does the Prime Minister intend to introduce in the very near future in order to alleviate child poverty and to help the unemployed? The poor and the hungry children need help now. The unemployed need help now. They cannot wait. Can the Prime Minister indicate what specific measures he will bring in before Christmas to give some hope to impoverished Canadians?
