Employment Insurance  ”. He had to be told by the HRD minister that he does not pay into the EI fund. Millions of Canadians pay into this fund and in fact overpay into this fund. Why will the Prime Minister and the finance minister not do the right thing and simply give the money back to hard working

Employment Insurance  , but that will buy a lot of groceries for hard working Canadian families. Why does the Prime Minister and the finance minister not simply do the right thing and give hard working Canadians their hard earned money back? Why not?

Employment Insurance   question that we keep asking and do not get an answer from the government. Why will the government not consider giving the money back to the people it belongs to, hard working Canadians?

Tax On Financial Transactions   or an editorial calling on the government to raise taxes or to bring in another tax. Yet we are discussing how we can take even more money out of the pockets of hard working Canadians. I have heard other members talk ad nauseam about James Tobin, the International Monetary Fund and the Asian

Transit Passes   do not have a Reform government in power until the next election. What we have is a Liberal government that is taxing hard working Canadians into poverty. Let us look at the Liberal record. Income taxes under the Liberal government are 56% higher than the average of our G-7

Taxation   of the Minister of Finance. It is time that he was held accountable for bilking so many hard working Canadians out of billions of dollars every year”.

Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act   but they certainly make free with the money that we work to earn. This involves large amounts of the money earned by hard working Canadian taxpayers. That is the reason it is a very important debate. However, the government has decided to cut off debate on the spending of billions of dollars

Budget Implementation Act, 1999   is this burden. The burden consists of federal income tax, payroll taxes, provincial taxes, municipal taxes, GST, PST, and the recent phenomenon of user fees, which I call hidden taxes.

Speech From The Throne   in that throne speech. That is a major issue for many hard working Canadians in the agricultural field and it affects all of us. It has neglected to talk about the airline industry, as was just pointed out by my colleague for Calgary Centre. It has failed to talk about immigration

Taxation   took home about $1,200, a 49% tax bite. I want to ask the finance minister a very simple question. When is he going to give people like Jean, hard working Canadians, a tax break? When is he going to do that?

Shipbuilding Act, 1999  . The costs to the taxpayer are included in that. As I said at the beginning, given my present analysis I will be voting against the bill because of the very broad principle that I do not think the government should have the ability to take money out of the pockets of hard-working

Veterans Health Care   businesses, but for hard working Canadians as well. We really hope that will be the case. We somehow doubt it, but we hope that will be the case.
