Air Canada Public Participation Act  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague for having made a point rather clearly. It is important to note that we in the House are often concerned with procedures. What is more important is the outcome and real impact of our work on the lives of real Canadians, real middle-class

International Trade committee   by the way is not going to increase at all to any great degree under this deal, also have to think about the real Canadians that you represent. As Mr. Fonseca has said, the TPP needs to be looked at by our parliamentarians holistically and I congratulate all the members of this committee

Justice committee  . It is about the intolerable and unimaginable suffering of real Canadians, and about their rights. The “reasonably foreseeable” requirement is terribly vague. You've already heard from numerous witnesses who have said so, including The College of Family Physicians of Canada, representing

Justice committee   clause, as judged by my analysis of real Canadian cases. It does not help those who actually need help most. Why do I say that? If a person is about to die anyway, helping them along can indeed be an act of kindness, but with death imminent anyway, their relief from suffering

Income Tax Act   overwhelming exposure to negative income and interest rates, and are more likely to become delinquent in debt payments. Responsible Canadians are looking for a way to save when times are good, so they can be protected. Reducing TFSA contribution limits would reduce the abilities of real

Citizenship Act  . That is their specific goal. I do not see what is wrong with saying that these people are not real Canadian citizens. They do not want to be Canadians. People who want to become Canadians are people who want to share Canadian values, values of openness. They are not people who want to attack everyone.

Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices Act   three years. Now he is facing murder charges. Forced and early marriage leads to real catastrophes, real violence, in the lives of real Canadians. It is our duty in this House not to play politics with these issues, not to cite absurd procedural grounds for continuing this debate ad

Pensions  Mr. Speaker, it is always like the Liberal Party to be quoting so-called imaginary experts instead of asking real Canadians what they want and what they do not want. I note today that the Liberal leader says that unlike us he will show leadership on this. Yes, he will show

Pensions  Mr. Speaker, let us talk about real Canadians. The Conservatives have spent 10 years eroding the retirement security of Canadians. Seven in ten workers have no workplace pensions, and less than a quarter of them can afford to contribute to RRSPs each year. To make matters worse

Child Care  Mr. Speaker, it is real Canadian families that are calling for regulated child care space. It is child care week and all across the country--

Child Care  Mr. Speaker, the government talks about real Canadian families. Let me tell members that they are wanting affordable child care spaces. This past weekend, parents in Vancouver marched to demand more affordable child care. They are paying as much as $15,000 a year for child care

Ethics   they stole from Canadians. At the same time, on this side of the House, we are doing our best to ensure that our economy continues to grow and that the real Canadian taxpayers have money in their pockets so that they can reinvest in their future and in their family's future. We

VIA Rail Canada Act   on the carrier, we must finally develop a real Canadian passenger and freight transportation policy. The topic of land use must not be limited to the throne speech. We need to make our historical presence in the north and south a national priority. The almost total lack of rail service

Canadian Heritage committee   confusing. I'll say this. The further you get away from war, the less people remember it. We are at a stage now where Victoria Day is insignificant. It's a nice holiday. Making it a holiday can diminish it, as opposed to a real Canadian belief that you have to get your butt down

Taxation   and high-debt NDP and Liberals need to stop listening to their elites, and start listening to real Canadian parents. Until they do, our Conservative government will continue to support moms and dads in making the best decisions for their families.
