Petitions February 10th, 1997
Mr. Speaker, I have three petitions to present on behalf of constituents and others in Saskatchewan. The first one pertains to the excise tax on gasoline which has risen by about 566 per cent over the last 10 years.
These petitioners request that Parliament not increase the federal excise tax on gasoline in the next federal budget.
Child Poverty February 10th, 1997
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
Child poverty is a major problem in this country because parents of poor children remain chronically unemployed. The NDP governments of British Columbia and Saskatchewan are addressing child poverty by investing in programs to help these children and their families. Meanwhile, the only investment the Liberal government
made was to pass Bill S-9 which gave millions of tax dollars to wealthy Canadians through generous tax breaks.
When is the government going to make a committed investment in the future of children living in poverty with a national child benefit instead of giving huge tax breaks to the very wealthy of this country?
