Economic Action Plan 2013 Act No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his questions. I did not mention the hiring tax credit because we support this measure, but it will not have the kind of impact the member thinks it will. These measures are insignificant and will not have the desired effect, especially for SMEs.

Economic Action Plan 2013 Act No. 2  Mr. Speaker, today, we are talking about deleting provisions of Bill C-4 at report stage. The Conservative government wants to hastily pass this bill without conducting any real impact studies. The Conservatives claim that this bill focuses exclusively on the economy, but that is far from true.

Economic Action Plan 2013 Act No. 2  , seconded by the member for Saanich—Gulf Islands, moved: Motion No. 9 That Bill C-4 be amended by deleting Clause 126. Motion No. 10 That Bill C-4 be amended by deleting Clause 127. Motion No. 11 That Bill C-4 be amended by deleting Clause 128. Motion No. 12 That Bill C-4 be amended by deleting Clause 129.

Economic Action Plan 2013 Act No. 2  , seconded by the hon. member for Saanich—Gulf Islands, moved: Motion No. 15 That Bill C-4 be amended by deleting Clause 132. Motion No. 16 That Bill C-4 be amended by deleting Clause 133. Motion No. 17 That Bill C-4 be amended by deleting Clause 134.

Securities  Mr. Speaker, the chief executives of leading Quebec companies—such as COGECO, Québecor, Couche-Tard, Metro and Jean Coutu—are again condemning the federal government, which wants to establish a national securities commission. These entrepreneurs say that this move will result in the loss of influence and expertise, distance capital from Quebec companies, kill jobs and weaken Montreal's economy.

Intergovernmental Relations  Mr. Speaker, yesterday's Speech from the Throne does nothing to address Quebec's expectations. The federal government would rather pursue its headstrong approach and refuse to consider Quebec's requests. It is also continuing with its disastrous employment insurance and manpower training reforms, which will hit Quebec families hard.
