Status of Women committee  Oh, gosh, I get all level of complaints. A lot of people who don't have a particular position, just regular Canadians, raise lots of issues with us about MPs' behaviours and things, sure. Most of those are not covered by our act, but if they are, I will look into it. I have

Consumer Protection  Mr. Speaker, while the Minister of Finance was out there breaking ethics rules lobbying the CRTC in his capacity as minister, thousands of regular Canadians were also out there trying to make their voices heard about a new unfair billing practice. Over 10,000 people have already

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, if indeed the members recognize that there will be cases in which people do not realize that they should have applied for citizenship and so assume that they are being treated like all other regular Canadians, then we need to recognize that we're in a situation

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, while our government is focused on a low tax plan to create jobs, the NDP is pushing a high tax scheme to kill jobs like the NDP's massive carbon tax that will take over $21 billion out of the pockets of regular Canadians and kill jobs. Our Conservative government

Finance committee   it happens. That's something we agree with and also believe in. Mr. Sanger, household debt is a big problem right now. The government is pushing towards temporary foreign workers. We have a law that says we can pay them 10% less than regular Canadians. From our position, it's a race

Procedure and House Affairs committee   and enhancing the trust of Canadians in the integrity of their political institutions. We believe that politicians have a responsibility to manage their funds prudently and to make sure that they are borrowing and spending within the means of their campaigns. Regular Canadians must manage

Procedure and House Affairs committee   Canadian citizen. How would a regular Canadian citizen feel if they were threatened—had not had just offensive language used toward them, but threatened—with no act or no result to counter that threat? How would you feel sitting in your house with that threat being lorded over you

Bill C-11 committee   of consumers. This is why over 50,000 people have signed the OpenMedia.ca petition to not lock down the Internet. We're not talking about pirates here. We're talking about regular Canadians and their regular use of the Internet. The purpose of this amendment is to create a blanket

Justice committee  Well, this is part of the problem, I suppose, and part of our general concern. The power of citizen's arrest requires a regular Canadian citizen to hopefully have some knowledge of the law, but if they don't, then they're on their own in determining certain things

Veterans Affairs committee   in Afghanistan, so it's a large and important part of our town. My question is this: how do the transition to civilian life and the various benefits you've started to outline, which we'll hear more about later, differ, if at all, between regular Canadian Forces personnel and reservists

Official Languages committee   the Roadmap and which come from the regular Canadian Heritage programs, for example?

Safe Streets and Communities Act   know that our Conservative government keeps its commitments. By delaying the bill, the opposition is proving yet again that it is totally out of touch with the priorities of regular Canadians. It is my sincere hope that having contemplated all of the benefits that I have outlined

Aboriginal Affairs  Mr. Speaker, first nations chiefs and councils still do not have to publicly disclose to their band members how much money they make. On-reserve residents, regular Canadians, and our Conservative government say that is wrong. There needs to be more transparency

Business of Supply  . The fact is that the Conservatives have not been honest, have not been transparent and they are willing to use whatever is at their disposal. Now before the courts are their alleged illegal practices to further their own aims and ambitions. In the process, it is the regular Canadians

Enhanced New Veterans Charter Act   raised, the government has turned a blind eye to the changing demographics associated with our veterans. Canada's first contingents of regular Canadian troops arrived in Afghanistan in January 2002. Since then, thousands of our young men and women have served in what has been some
