Parliament Of Canada Act   the free trade agreement and then expand it when elected. It will have to explain why the Prime Minister said very clearly that he would axe the tax and get rid of the GST and it is still here. If we go to the store we see that we are still paying the GST. It was expanded and harmonized

Criminal Code   and call them its own. We have seen that happen on many occasions. That is the Janus-like persona of the government. We have seen it on free trade. We have seen it on the GST, privatization, helicopters, and the Pearson airport. The government said one thing in opposition. Then, lo

Economic Policy  Because of free trade. Don't forget that.

Speech From The Throne  , the collective buying power of free trading nations should and could be used to push the protectionist countries back to the bargaining table. Where is the government in terms of trying to organize that? As I visit farmers from coast to coast, too many have told me that they do not know

Speech From The Throne   is extremely important. With the summit of free trade of the Americas coming pretty soon, even the president of the United States is very keen to promote free trade, the issues and challenges of globalization must advance. The Leader of the Official Opposition has asked me to chair

Speech From The Throne   in government in 1989 Ed Broadbent moved a motion in the House to eliminate child poverty by the year 2000 that was agreed to by all parliamentarians. Regardless of free trade, NAFTA, deficits, debts and surpluses, child poverty has increased by four times. The Conservatives were

Supply  . Excuse me if I am not completely enamoured with the argument that we should trust the Liberals. We have heard time and time again about the GST, about free trade and about what they would not do if they were elected to office. They have swallowed themselves whole on their promises

Free Trade Area Of The Americas  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I would seek consent of the House to table the documents referred to by the right hon. member for Calgary Centre with respect to the involvement of Jean Carle in the Auberge Grand-Mère file and the Business Development Bank.

Parliamentarians' Code Of Conduct  , confronted with words that they said earlier in campaign mode, like saying that they would repeal free trade and get rid of the GST, are common words now that ring around the country when we examine the ethics of campaigning. The red book promise has been shredded in terms of its

Modernization Of House Of Commons Procedure   bills to deny unanimous consent to the House of Commons to force a change in the law of divorce. It was too sensitive for governments to deal with as a matter of initiative, but those two members of parliament at the time, Mr. William Peters and Mr. Frank Howard, used that power

Modernization Of House Of Commons Procedure   know the position that was taken on the issue, for example, of free trade by the current government with respect to the efforts of the Mulroney administration to bring that policy forward.

Summit Of The Americas   of England, and his views. I remember the speech very well. Our party was the only party that did not clap when Mr. Blair spoke of the nuances in terms of free trade. Our point is that Mr. Blair had a woeful ignorance toward the NAFTA deal when he tried to portray free trade or NAFTA

Summit Of The Americas  Mr. Speaker, I could not help but notice that the hon. member from Alberta, who I have a great respect for, mentioned the Mexican economy and the uplifting of that economy because of free trade. The reality is that post-NAFTA in Mexico free trade has created one new billionaire

Summit Of The Americas   for Surrey Central has told the people in his riding that health, education and other public services should be on the table. I do not think he would represent the riding for long if he were forthright enough to tell them that. When the Conservatives negotiated free trade they forgot

Summit Of The Americas   because of the trade agreements. Since NAFTA and free trade have come in never in the history of this country have seniors found life harder. If we really want to see the inadequacies of this trade deal, we can look at what it has done to our seniors, one of the most vulnerable groups
