Business of Supply   the Liberals, only a select group would benefit. Anyone looking for something other than a regulated, nine to five, child care space got nothing. Regular Canadian families got nothing from the Liberals. That was the old Liberals' plan. Since then, we have had an election where that plan

Human Resources committee   would yet be significantly impacted by this legislation. How would regular Canadians be impacted indirectly by the impacts that would happen to your organization because of a strike?

Prebudget Consultations   in the next budget. The theme of the budget was “Enhancing Canada's competitiveness and productivity”. I will say a couple of word about the theme of our consultations, competitiveness and productivity. In a way, regular Canadians do not lay awake at night wondering about Canada's

The Economy   George W. Bush proud. The government's update laments the fact that those poor souls who are earning more than $120,000 are treated unfairly. Imagine that. Why do the Conservatives always favour the six figure income earners over regular Canadians?

Industry committee  Currently there is an ability to import vehicles directly into Canada beyond the regular Canadian dealership network. In fact there is a government-supported website, which I was looking at yesterday, where they partner with Canadian Tire, which does the vehicle inspection

Citizenship and Immigration committee   supports. I would argue that most regular Canadians would say that people should line up. If they want to come into this country, come in by regular means, especially when we have 800,000 people waiting to get here right now in the waiting list trying to come here by regular means.

Finance committee   a huge issue in front of the committee. Can you explain, not just to me but to regular Canadians, what would happen if airport rents were reduced as you're asking? How would that affect the air traveller, regular Canadians? Sometimes people need it translated into personal terms.

Finance committee  I appreciate that, and it was very helpful. Ms. Brown, I was particularly interested in the innovations taking place in digital media. I wonder if you could explain to a regular Canadian who doesn't know a whole lot about this--and it might be me--how will this will benefit

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

An Act to Authorize the Minister of Finance to Make Certain Payments   and those members do not even see it coming. Let us talk about corporate tax cuts for a moment. The NDP has been claiming that corporate tax cuts simply benefit the rich while claiming that New Democrats are helping regular Canadians. First, the Conservative Party believes in tax

Budget Implementation Act, 2005  , the Liberals have put forward a budget which proposes no meaningful tax reduction whatsoever. There is an immediate consequence of the budget, and I refer to it often as the pizza budget or the burger budget, because the consequence for a regular Canadian family is $16 for the next year

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?
