Customs Tariff  Mr. Chairman, those were very important questions. There was first the graduation of countries from the GPT. Some countries have been graduated and I am sure the hon. member means South Korea and Singapore. They have been graduated by the Americans for example and are no longer

Customs Tariff   both brought this up in our speeches is that today, some countries that benefit under the GPT can no longer be called developing countries, and I am thinking specifically of Singapore and South Korea. If we reassess the relevance of granting these countries GPT status, I think

The Budget   this budget rings with a clear pure note. Out with the old, in with the new. The large corporations no longer have the lion's share of research and development. Technological innovation is going to come from the little companies, not the big ones. This government's budget addresses

The Budget  , the changes in the unemployment insurance program will mean that people will have to work longer to be eligible for lower benefits received for a shorter period of time. A study by professors at the department of economics of the University of Québec in Montreal shows that more than half

The Budget   of their families as well. I am proud to represent this riding which is named after the great Blackfoot chief, Crowfoot. Although the Blackfoot band is no longer in my riding, its present chief, Striker Crowfoot, is a direct descendant of Chief Crowfoot. We met with him some time ago

The Budget   spending programs for ideological reasons are outlined in this budget. Debt charges are underestimated, a very risky forecast. The international capital markets are waiting until this fall but not much longer. Parliament is where government comes to the people to get permission to tax

The Budget  , businesses that have gone underground and companies that have simply shut down. That is no longer acceptable in this great land. We have designed a policy which we believe will help Canada not only renew itself but the people within it. People do not want to live on UI or welfare

The Budget   no longer receive the services that were promised to them and that they are entitled to under the law. The budget announces the creation of a centre of excellence for women's health. What about this centre and how much will be allocated to it, when the Medical Research Council's budget

The Budget   is a desperate problem for the province of Quebec. Would the member not agree that if Quebec were to separate and be an independent country, Canada would no longer have any facilities in Quebec? Does not the closing of that one military college, which he takes great umbrage at, foreshadow

The Budget   not include those who are no longer looking for work, those who have grown discouraged. This figure of 15.7 per cent does not include seasonal workers either. It is a conservative figure which masks a reality that is far bleaker. Did the Minister of Finance consult with the people
