Privilege   of the committee then proceeded to move time allocation, restricting the debate to five minutes per clause, and this after two hours of committee proceedings. Five total minutes was given for all parties on this clause by clause. This is totally unacceptable. There were clauses last night

Lobbyists Registration Act   to please the lucky few who can afford to send lobbyists to Parliament Hill by exempting them. Within the time allocated to me, I will try to explain clearly each of the flaws I identified in this bill. As I said earlier, the first flaw concerns the ethics counsellor. Need I remind

Budget Implementation Act, 1995   intelligent remarks on this bill. Virtually everyone had spoken. The well was running dry. By using time allocation today we are in fact helping the opposition. Let us turn to their criticisms of the budget. We are getting it on both sides. It is worth the opposition parties hearing

Income Tax Act   that the administration of this House because of the legislative agenda and because we do not sit as much requires this from time to time. We have brought in time allocation or closure on bills about 10 per cent compared to the previous government. I think you will find, Mr. Speaker, that any time we

Budget Implementation Act, 1995   Order 78(3), I give notice that I will be moving a time allocation motion at the next sitting of the House for the purpose of allotting a specific number of days or hours for further consideration of the bill at this stage and every question necessary in order to dispose

Firearms Act   the country. I know if she gets to speak later this afternoon, she will want to dissociate herself from those comments. With respect to the bill, first I would like to deal with the allegations made by the hon. member for Medicine Hat about the use of time allocation in the debate

Firearms Act   where the government tries to sell the good with the bad. Again, that is very cynical and very political and we absolutely disagree with that. The final straw is time allocation right before a break. In this place, of all places, we should be talking about very important issues

Maintenance Of Railway Operations Act, 1995   the government to the extent that it has supported the legislation and has agreed to time allocation in respect of various stages of the bill in order to expedite passage. I appreciate that support very much and acknowledge it. On the other hand, the hon. member for Lethbridge in his speech

I speak here as a member of the Standing Committee on Human Resources Development which examined this bill clause by clause on Wednesday, under a gag order. This is the first time in the history of this Parliament that a government imposed time allocation

Borrowing Authority Act, 1995-96  No, I will take all the time allocated to me. You will learn something. People can learn something at any age, even on the other side of the House. The government talks about decentralizing but and the only thing they have decentralized is the deficit. They have shipped it out

Canadian Volunteer Service Medal For United Nations Peacekeeping Act   before the House. We share with him a strong desire to give fitting recognition to Canadians who serve in these vital and often dangerous operations. However, I regretfully cannot support this initiative and I want to use the time allocated to me today to explain my position to my

Young Offenders Act   to the maximums on the times allocated to them under the old provisions. We have to talk about who needs to know when the youth gets in trouble. That also was a concern of the public. It wants to be aware of who is offending and why this is happening in its communities. Again, we have taken

Budgetary Policy   than December 7, 1994. The committee was supposed to table this report on December 2. The motion under consideration asks us to authorize the committee to postpone this report until a later date. This will reduce the time allocated for consideration of this report. It is an old

Yukon Surface Rights Board Act   negotiated over a period of some 20 years, a period of closed door meetings and backroom deals typical of our old governments and old political parties. To make matters worse, the government then stifled debate in the month of June in the House by evoking time allocation. This entire
