Third Session, Fortieth Parliament, 59 Elizabeth II, 2010 STATUTES OF CANADA 2010CHAPTER 25 A second Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 4, 2010 and other measures ASSENTED TO 15th DECEMBER, 2010 BILL C-47 RECOMMENDATION Her Excellency

Standing Up for Victims of White Collar Crime Act   that are placed in front of projects as though the government is actually doing something. We will come back to this legislation when we are in power. We will have an omnibus return-to-sanity bill that will look at the kinds of things that were done. We are going to try to find a way to fix

Standing up for Victims of White Collar Crime Act  , and it is that the justice committee is a very busy committee. There are an awful lot of justice bills, which arguably could have been combined with other bills and put in an omnibus bill. There are going to be the same witnesses if we are dealing with the Criminal Code or sentencing provisions. Chances

Standing up for Victims of White Collar Crime Act  Madam Speaker, I did not say I was going to support passing the omnibus bill. I would do my job as the justice critic and expect other members of the committee to do the same. In a minority government situation, we would have chosen those parts of the omnibus bill that in fact

Standing up for Victims of White Collar Crime Act   suggesting that all these Conservative justice initiatives, albeit that is all they have, should go into an omnibus bill, because then they could pass a number of bad initiatives all at once. As he knows, the justice agenda of the Conservatives has been basically a disaster

Standing up for Victims of White Collar Crime Act   away from what I was going to say on this bill and argue that I would use my voice less and we would have less debate in this House if the Conservatives simply used omnibus bills rather than introducing a bill for every section of the Criminal Code. I will now get back

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, it is interesting. The member mentioned an omnibus bill. I seem to remember one that we had, protecting victims from violent crime. I remember the shrill of the NDP that we brought an omnibus bill on crime and how they opposed that. The other thing the member

Criminal Code   the Conservatives, we could have brought almost all of those into two or three omnibus bills. That would have used up a lot less time in this House and more effectively dealt with a number of issues that do exist within the Criminal Code and the criminal justice system. We could have used

Protecting Children from Sexual Predators Act   could have simply created one omnibus bill and brought it before the House, in much the same way the government seemed to be able to do with the last two budgets. That brings us to the next suggestion. The Criminal Code is now 100 years old and is in serious need of a complete

Protecting Children from Sexual Predators Act  , being a well-regarded lawyer who has been around the House for many years, is that perhaps the government could have proceeded by way of an omnibus bill. It certainly managed to that with the 980 page budget bill, which was not appropriate for that case. However, in this case

Protecting Children from Sexual Predators Act  Madam Speaker, the hon. member has made the point about the non-omnibus bill. It would have been a lot more efficient to have one. In terms of reworking the Criminal Code in a big way, yes it needs it. The statute is very old. There are some pretty old sections in it. However

Protecting Children from Sexual Predators Act   up these Criminal Code amendments into smaller pieces will make it easier for colleagues in the House, and maybe for the cabinet. Maybe the cabinet is not able to handle a big Criminal Code omnibus bill all at once. It is quite possible the members of the cabinet have limited

Government Operations committee  Okay. I think the change here really resulted from the Jobs and Economic Growth Act, which changed the way the EI account works. We were replacing the old EI account with a new EI account, and interest is no longer paid into the Consolidated Revenue Fund. So that had offset

Justice committee  Thank you. You have before you the estimates. There are four votes that are customarily called on this. Would someone like to make an omnibus motion to deal with all four of them in one? Mr. Dechert, that would be for votes 1b, 5b, 30b, and 35b under Justice. JUSTICE

Government Operations committee  Okay, thank you very much. I do want to turn my attention to some other issues under the supplementary estimates (B) 2010-2011. This is under the introduction of the supplementary estimates, on page 11: As a result of accounting changes due to the Jobs and Economic Growth Act
