Business of Supply   class. This handout to the wealthy, the Conservatives' income-splitting scheme, will leave regular Canadians falling further behind, and it must be scrapped. New Democrats want a budget that focuses on diversifying the Canadian economy rather than putting all our eggs in one basket

Pipeline Safety Act  , the liability amounts are very much in line with and are stronger than what the rest of the world has. This is a world-class pipeline safety regime that we are putting in place, but it also enables some positive aspects for the Canadian economy, for regular Canadians as well as for first

Respect for Communities Act   of this is that we also want to hear from regular Canadians about having the illicit use of drugs in a supervised way in their communities. In terms of jurisdiction, this is an exemption. These establishments only exist because the Minister of Health is able to give them an exemption under

Procedure and House Affairs committee   all of them for their opinions on the issues that this bill encompasses, as well as their thoughts on democratic reform more broadly. In just a few hours, over 3,000 had responded. That's where the quotes I opened with come from, the voices of regular Canadians across the country

Child Care  Mr. Speaker, perhaps the Conservatives' income-splitting scheme will go over better in a room full of bankers than it does with regular Canadians, or economists, or former finance ministers, or pretty much anyone else who has looked at the details. They are all opposed

Committees of the House   to be no transparency. If anything, under the Conservative government, we have seen less and less transparency and more and more rights violations for regular Canadians. Maybe my colleague could talk about that. I appreciate that he raised the issue. We have seen it in other committees, where what

Veterans Hiring Act   for veterans who wish to pursue university studies. For example, a regular veteran, a regular Canadian, would take about four years to get a university degree. However, in the public service, advanced degrees past the first degree are often key to getting a good job in the public service

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you for appearing before committee today. I have just a couple of questions. I think a lot of us, as regular Canadians, have this perception of a hacker being a 17-year-old kid who's pretty good with computers, and that's the person who's stealing our identity and just

Health committee   that was sufficient. I would also like to add for clarity that although not many regular Canadians are interested in the full-length technical reviews, a lot of researchers, doctors, and others in the health system and potentially journalists might be, and these are also available on request from

Government Advertising  Mr. Speaker, I guess the opinion of Canadians just does not matter to the government. When Finance Canada asked regular Canadians about balancing the budget, it received a huge response. The message from Canadians was crystal clear: dump the economic action plan ads, the same

Justice committee   that I am not a lawyer. I am a regular Canadian with no training as a lawyer. If I were to find myself before the courts, the judge would decide whether I go to jail. We are talking here about courts of law, not about whether a province should decide whether trials should be held

International Trade committee  The perspective of the Canadian generic pharmaceutical manufacturers association is to represent their members, whereas I think I'm talking about the broader impact on the health system and on the pocketbooks of regular Canadians. So if....

Health committee  , to ensure that we do get this right. We'll have a chance as well for that legislation to come before committee. I have also recently asked Health Canada to begin to publish more transparently their drug reviews. I think that's important information that regular Canadians should have

Agriculture committee   tonnes, and for the regular Canadian on the street, they need something they can relate that to. How many pigs is that? Does that quantify in terms of dollars? You did speak to the number of dollars in that, but could you just bring that down to the numbers that Canadians can

Canadian Museum of History Act   the museum to concentrate only on famous people. Famous people are not the only important people in Canadian history. Allow the museum to continue to tell the history of regular Canadians, of the people who built this country by their devotion to the land and by their determination
