Securities March 13th, 1996
Mr. Speaker, nobody is accusing anyone of being ineffeffective as regards the securities sector. However, there are businesspeople who clearly asked the federal government and their provincial government, in order to promote job creation and more profitable investments, to create a securities commission with a single set of rules for the whole country.
Once again, the idea is not to impose anything, but to offer Canadians the best possible service. Bloc members who put Quebec's interests first should know when it is in their best interests to have national standards that help Quebecers within Canada to have better investments and to create jobs. Now is not
the time to have an ideology that prevents businesspeople from creating jobs in Quebec.
Securities March 13th, 1996
Mr. Speaker, on the contrary, I personally had discussions with a number of provincial officials who asked for the establishment of a unified securities commission. The reason for this is simple: businessmen who need to raise funds across the country do not want to have to deal with 10 different securities commissions. They want to be able to get the funds they need under a set of harmonized rules for the whole country, since it is cheaper that way.
This is why it was proposed to create a Canadian securities commission. If a province does not want to join up with the federal securities commission, it is absolutely free to do so. This is only a proposal to create a partnership to serve Canadians better.
Supplementary Estimates (B) March 8th, 1996
Mr. Speaker, I move:
That the Supplementary Estimates (B) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1996, tabled March 8, 1996, be referred to the standing committees of the House in accordance with the attached detailed allocation:
Supplementary Estimates (B) March 8th, 1996
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Orders 81(5) and 81(6), I wish to introduce a motion concerning the referral of the estimates to the standing committees of the House.
There is a lengthy list associated with the motion. If it is agreeable to the House, I would ask that the list be printed in Hansard as if it had been read.
