Division No. 360   policies which the working people from coast to coast to coast are forced to pay for? It is not the members of the government who have had to endure the cuts to health care. They have not had to endure the effects of their cuts to government departments where regular Canadians must

The Late Private Gilles Desmarais   electrocuted in a Canadian camp. Private Desmarais was 23 years old. He was born in Noëlville, in my riding, and had been serving in Bosnia since early July. He was scheduled to return to Canada at the end of January 1999. He was a three year veteran of the regular Canadian Forces, having

Points Of Order  , not a member of the Senate, but a regular Canadian citizen who was using public facilities for—

Canada Labour Code   to protect regular Canadians with their day to day bills, their day to day need for income and their day to day need to make sales in their little businesses in the towns where they work. We need to think about these things. We need to protect the Canadians of this country. If services

Income Tax Amendments Act, 1997   in doing this. Many other companies do this. Members of the House should reflect on why it is necessary for companies in Canada to do that if they want to succeed. It raises some questions. It raises a very important question that is brought home to regular Canadians every day when

Judges Act   to take a couple of minutes to talk about what is causing so much frustration and unnecessary pain to regular Canadians. That is the case of my constituents, Mr. and Mrs. Gilles Deraiche. Mr. and Mrs. Deraiche now live in Calgary and have given me permission to talk about

Budget Implementation Act, 1998   on their income taxes. Regular Canadians would go to jail if they tried to do the same thing. Let us look at the amount of support the Liberals are talking about. The millennium scholarship fund will offer up to 100,000 post-secondary students grants averaging $3,000 a year. I had

The Budget   on borrowed money every single year for the last 30 years. I ask Canadians watching this debate did you as a regular Canadian run your family finances that way? Did you borrow more and more money every single year for the last 30 years? What if you had done that? What shape would you

Criminal Code   to be handcuffed by the inefficiencies of a pointless warrant process. I am fully aware of the mine field we walk through known as the charter of rights and freedoms, or should I call it the challenges to the charter, which test the patience of regular Canadians such as me. One of the only

Canada Pension Plan Investment Board Act  . Of course regular Canadians are out of luck. The fund's operations are not even subject to access to information. Yet this fund will soon have a massive proportion of Canada's total equity pool. The implications are staggering for its impact on the total economic structure of our

Income Tax Conventions Implementation Act, 1997  . The unfairness of that system is gone. Canadians who earn social security in the United States will have that social security come back to Canada and here in Canada they will be taxed at the regular Canadian rates. What it really means is that instead of being overtaxed in the United States

Speech From The Throne   little from the rest of society while some with substantial means receive too much. I speak for a party committed to a political process which reflects the views and interests of regular Canadians rather than the political elites, a party whose principles and policies are formulated

Budget Implementation Act, 1997   to paying attention to what the priorities are of regular Canadians. It is completely off track because way back when Canadians said-and I think they continue to say it-that they expect the government to provide opportunity. It has failed to do that. They also say they expect

Budget Implementation Act, 1997   in line with the priorities of regular Canadians. As someone who has been to many different provinces this past year I can say that the government simply does not understand the priorities of the Canadian people. I was in Moose Jaw and Saskatoon last week. I was in British Columbia

Income Tax Budget Amendments Act, 1996   scratch. The Income Tax Act is absolutely enormous. There are volumes and volumes to it. It does not seem that regular Canadians are able to fill out their income tax returns anymore because it has become so complex. It seems there are so many rules to follow and so many loopholes
