Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Madam Speaker, the title says it all: Bill C-9, jobs and economic growth act. On the face of it, this critical bill ignores an important federal mandate, the legislative and constitutional duty to protect the environment. Part 20 represents a clear abrogation of federal duty

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, today I join the debate on Bill C-9, the Jobs and Economic Growth Act, which should really be called the Budget Implementation Act. This bill is about implementing the last budget. Since the Bloc was against the budget, it is against this bill on jobs and economic

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak to Bill C-9, the 2010 budget implementation act. It is called the jobs and economic growth act, but that is a bit of a misnomer because there is absolutely nothing in this budget that will create the jobs and the economic growth of the future

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak to Bill C-9, the so-called jobs and economic growth act, but based on my reading of it, I believe it needs a new title. This rather large tome is short on potential for jobs and growth and long on gimmicks, fee increases and a lot of challenges

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have this opportunity to speak in the debate on Bill C-9, the budget implementation act or, as the Conservatives prefer to call it, the jobs and economic growth act, which unfortunately I do not believe it is. We know this is a significant piece

My duties here have allowed me to witness first-hand the Conservative government's failure to act, and above all, its political grandstanding.

Business of the House  Mr. Speaker, today we will be continuing with Bill C-9, the jobs and economic growth act. Next week, as my hon. colleague indicated, is a constituency work week. When the House returns the week of April 12, we will hopefully be able to conclude the debate at second reading

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to be here to debate Bill C-9, what we would normally call the budget implementation act. In this particular case, however, we are looking at the jobs and economic growth act. For the next 20 minutes, I will analyze some of the material

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his speech. Apparently it was supposed to be about the jobs and economic growth act. We heard a lot about pensions, which do not seem to have that much to do with the particular bill in front of the House at this particular time. I would

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

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.

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
