Canada Post  . It has been 13 months and the André Ouellet possum audit still has no conclusion. Last year alone, Revenue Canada completed 307,000 audits on regular Canadian taxpayers. Why should 307,000 Canadians be held to account and not one fat cat Liberal?

Criminal Code   be included in provincial legislation when it comes to the licensing of vehicles, which is covered by the provinces. It is typical of the NDP-Liberal government's legislation. So often it comes forward and it does not seem to work. It restricts regular Canadians and allows the people who

Income Tax Amendments Act, 1997   taxes of $2,540. One of the reasons for the decline in real income is the incredible tax burden being placed on regular Canadians.

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, in the limited time available to me, how can the hon. member possibly defend the budget and the absence of any tax cuts for regular Canadians? It is correct that we have made progress in Canada in the reduction of debt, but this has been done at the expense

Chinese Canadian Recognition and Redress Act  . Discriminatory laws were passed in many of the provinces, particularly British Columbia. This demonstrates that at that time Canada had an apartheid system, one for regular Canadians and one for Canadians of Asian descent, whom Canada was trying to get rid of. It is hard to believe

National Unity Fund  , according to the list made public, was also used to fund sponsorships to the tune of $100 million. Will the government admit that, with the regular Canadian unity program plus the secret funding combined, the sponsorship scandal cost a total of $350 million?

Liberal Party Of Canada   they are willing to listen to you. Certainly it has worked for Bombardier. We know that. I think the Liberal grease my palm approach to gathering public opinion says a whole lot about their opinion of regular Canadians and about their opinion of why they should listen to regular Canadians

National Defence   but the Prime Minister agrees. It is that simple message which was reinforced today at a press conference by Corrie Adolph, president of Canadians for Military Preparedness. She heads a grassroots organization of regular Canadians fighting for increased funding for our troops. Their goal

Species at Risk Act   in Canada who have long barrel rifles. The government brings in anti-terrorism legislation that seems to target regular Canadians more than the real threat of al-Qaeda and terrorist networks around the world that can move in and out of the country unimpaired.

Attack on the United States   of the Parrsboro fire department; Laurie Melanson and Maurice McKinnon of the Joggins fire department; and Danny Brooks, a paramedic based in Amherst.

Supply   by truck or for any kind of transportation that takes fuel. This is not rocket science. We are glad we do not have the horse and buggy economy anymore. Fuel must be paid. If the government is taking the lion's share of the cost of this commodity, then ordinary regular Canadians trying

Supply   and representatives from other levels of government, as well as from the federal level, sit on the committee. These are regular Canadians on this committee, Mr. Speaker, people like you and I and members of the House. This committee has already fed information back to other Canadians

Bank Act   to that as well and that will put even more pressure on Canadians. Bill C-67 may erode the market share of charter banks in lucrative, high end private banking niches.
