The Gazette of February 26, 1994 indicated: ``The Angus Reid-Southam News survey says that 55 per cent of respondents nationally believe the Liberals are on the right track with the February 22 budget''. How about the Canadian Medical Association news release or communique? It indicated

Budget Implementation Act, 1994   to members of Parliament that are out of line with standards the public expects. I refer specifically to the MP pension plan. Even the contribution levels of members of Parliament to that plan exceed normal contribution to a plan. On top of that, the government is now matching our

Committees Of The House   and to the Canadian public that are listening. The Deputy Prime Minister said that if the Liberal Party did not abolish the GST she would resign. She said this at a CBC town hall. That is a very firm commitment. I know she always keeps her word. The question is, how do we determine if this new

The scope of this ministry would be large and sprawling with at least 24 areas of responsibility that include-now hang

Income Tax Act   not only to MPs, but also to all citizens. This process is a farce; next week we are going to listen to witnesses, while the report has already been written. What kind of influence are these people going to have? The committee must return to Toronto, at the insistence of the Liberal

Agriculture And Agri-Food Administrative Monetary Penalties Act   pointed out that resources were being wasted as a result of the incredible confusion with respect to inspection standards.

Budget Implementation Act, 1995  , with a generous two tiered MP pension plan. As well as being a bad budget for the Liberal Party it is also a very bad budget for Canada. That is the important matter I want to deal with this morning. Apart from the negative impact of continued debt and taxation, the budget creates some

Supply   right now as an MP and not pay taxes any more because she does not think her tax money should support welfare for the people who really need it? Of course not. Well, she is thinking on that. Those of us who pay are blessed. We are able to pay our taxes and we want them to go

Members Of Parliament Retiring Allowances Act   that was on November 22, when I, the member for Beaver River, introduced the motion on our opposition day to talk about the MP pension plan. So it was hardly some great initiative on the government side. In fact I would love to quote reams out of Hansard of that day. People stood in their places

Members Of Parliament Retiring Allowances Act  There are also some people who would say that it is just one way of giving a raise to MPs while avoiding public scrutiny. A study that was done by Sobeco Ernst & Young talks about that. The minister went on at great length about how we are perhaps underpaid and overpensioned

Members Of Parliament Retiring Allowances Act   and that pension would be indexed for life and payable starting at age 55? This is early retirement by anyone's standards.
