Eliminating Entitlements for Prisoners Act  , many of them are linear bills. Many of them have to do with sentencing. Many of them have to do with parole. They could have been rolled together into an omnibus bill, one to deal with sentencing principles and provisions. The reason the government has not done that and we

Protecting Canadians by Ending Sentence Discounts for Multiple Murders Act   basis are very similar and probably should be dealt with in an omnibus bill. A number of bills propose changes to sentencing. Rather than having a separate bill for car theft, or another one for some other issue, et cetera, an omnibus bill tends to make the place inefficient. I would

Protecting Children from Online Sexual Exploitation Act   on crime and they continue to repeat the theme that they are tough on crime. Then they have all these bills, instead of saying there are a number of areas they would like to deal with in terms of the Criminal Code and then put them together in an omnibus bill, which is normally the case

National Hunting, Trapping and Fishing Heritage Day Act   to the Navigable Waters Protection Act tucked into an omnibus budget, where they were somewhat hidden. We can only speculate as to what larger debate would occur if these were debated as stand-alone items. In general, these changes made it easier for development to go ahead for things like

Finance committee   with members of Parliament. We think the only way to resolve this matter is to hold a public debate on the entire issue. That's also what the Conservative government thought before it included this part in the omnibus bill. The Conservative government said it wanted to hold a public debate

Finance committee   to reform is required. I would ask two questions. First, what's the rush in getting this bill through as part of the omnibus budget legislation? What's the big hurry? As my colleagues have mentioned, we have the seven-year review coming up. Under law, it must be initiated in June

Fairness for Military Families (Employment Insurance) Act  ? That would have been most helpful as well to make an omnibus bill for veterans and their families. That would have been a creative thing for the Government of Canada to do. Another example is that when military or RCMP personnel die, they are allowed to only leave 50% of their pensions

Pay Equity Task Force Recommendations Act   with the government on the budget bill. Like this year's budget implementation bill, last year's was very similar, with a omnibus approach in which the government took a number of issues that it knew would be controversial in a minority Parliament and threw them in the budget. There were

Sébastien's Law (Protecting the Public from Violent Young Offenders)  Mr. Speaker, if I interpreted the member's speech correctly, he said the government should have put this bill in with a bunch of other bills into an omnibus bill. I would definitely disagree with that. The government does that when it has a whole bunch of ineffective, poor bills

Sébastien's Law (Protecting the Public from Violent Young Offenders)  Mr. Speaker, most of us have difficulty with omnibus bills sometimes, because they do tend to have a lot of legislation buried in them. The thing about an omnibus bill is that there is a theme that brings all the pieces of proposed legislation together. In Bill C-9, the budget

Public Safety committee   fairness and some sort of procedural equity to this debate, of course as part of a two-member caucus in this six-member coalition, she cannot stand up to the member who is clearly the leader of the pack. Once again, we're dealing with Mr. Holland's omnibus motion to dictate the list

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   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

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
