Canada Elections Act   of 2017 was that their fundraising dried up. When they had to go to regular Canadians and ask them to contribute to their party, it dried up. The Conservative Party raised double what the Liberals raised, and if we add in the leadership candidates, it was triple what the Liberals

Cannabis Act   States. Canadians have been refused for honestly speaking about their past indiscretions. Does this mean the Prime Minister is simply above regular Canadians? The NDP has a 45-year history of championing marijuana decriminalization. Changes to the law are long overdue, especially

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, the truth is that the Prime Minister just cannot help himself from nickel and diming regular Canadians. First, he went after their Saturday night by taxing beer, wine, Uber, bus passes. Now he is going after their May long weekend camping trip too. He is hiking fees

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, Canadians are seeing a very disturbing pattern here with the Liberals. A giant pharmaceutical company or a billionaire with his own island, the Prime Minister is at their beck and call, even if it means breaking the law. However, for regular Canadians struggling

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act   through special, secretive commercial tribunals, as opposed to the regular Canadian court system that all other Canadians, and indeed foreigners, would have access to in this country. I wonder if the member for Calgary Nose Hill could explain to the House why the Conservatives think

Public Safety committee   own tragedy. We all know safety is a non-partisan issue, and we know it's everybody's concern. I'm speaking to you today not as a legal expert, that's for certain. We're not a vast organization with a lot of resources. I'm just a regular Canadian citizen. Most important, I am

Canada Pension Plan   the LICO, has gone from 29% in 1970 to 3.7% today. In fact, not just seniors but regular Canadians are doing a great job of saving by themselves. They do not need big government intervention to tell them how to save. What will happen, though, with this CPP increase, this tax

Government Priorities   Canadians with payroll tax increases, a carbon tax, and a small business tax increase. Canadian families are struggling, and the Prime Minister is spending all this time with billionaires and celebrities. When will the Prime Minister start hearing the pleas of regular Canadians and stop

Poverty Reduction Act  . Grocery store and retail store owners in Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot tell me that they are also concerned about the growing gap between the rich and the poor. When wealth is concentrated in the hands of one group, the purchasing power of regular Canadians keeps diminishing. That is what

Canada Pension Plan   could choose to contribute more to CPP, or, instead, open their own locked-in pension plan and make the mandatory contributions there...have restrictions on withdrawals, risks, etc. Most 'regular Canadians' would not profess to know all the details and the considerations that were

Human Resources committee   that are hospitable to job creators. On the Conservative side, we see that the people who create jobs create opportunities for people. We see it as opportunities for regular Canadians to have a job. As part of our conversation, Mr. Cross, what would you say would be the biggest bang for the buck

Natural Resources committee   today. That has to come back, otherwise it's hard to get regular Canadians to get the right skills they need to be employed by those mining companies.

Canadian Heritage committee   people have their say? The consultation process is friendly enough when it comes to regular Canadians, but not when it comes to the big industry players. We aren't talking about museums or the arts. Everyone panicked when you first took the wheel. Many pointed to the fact

Government Operations committee  Absolutely, I would, for so many reasons. It has to do with what was promised to us, what people have come to expect, the ease as opposed to the hardships that it would cost to put it back, what it would give to a person as a regular Canadian, what they create within themselves

Information & Ethics committee  I know Mr. Erskine-Smith wants to get in here, but I have one other question and I'm simply seeking your opinion. In my own capacity just as a regular Canadian, my expectation is that when I do business with the private sector or the government, my privacy should be protected
