House of Commons Journals No. 48 February 8th, 2013

Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to table, in both official languages, a copy of the House of Commons Journals No. 48 from the first session of the 35th Parliament dated April 13, 1994.

Electoral Boundaries February 8th, 2013

Mr. Speaker, in 1994 the majority Liberal government introduced the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Suspension Act. The purpose of the bill was to suspend the independent electoral boundaries commissions of 1994, as the Liberals did not like the electoral boundaries proposed by the commissions.

Yesterday the hon. member for Wascana tried to mislead Canadians, indicating that the Prime Minister “accepted the previous government's intent at the time, and the Conservatives voted for it”.

Not only is that completely false, but it is hypocritical, which is no surprise coming from the Liberal Party.

At the time the Liberals criticized the independent commissions, as stated by Liberal MP Don Boudria, who said, “Members must realize that the redistribution...is most unfair to British Columbia and Ontario”.

The hon. member for Wascana knows full well that the Prime Minister fought and voted against this undemocratic Liberal bill. I would be more than happy to table the results of the April 13, 1994 vote of Bill C-18, following question period.
