C-31 An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on February 11, 2014 and other measures

That the motion be amended by deleting all the words after the word "That" and substituting the following:

“this House decline to give third reading to Bill C-31, An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on February 11, 2014 and other measures, because it:

( a) has not received adequate study or amendment by Parliament;

( b) cancels the hiring credit for small business

( c) raises costs for Canadian businesses through changes to trademark law that have been opposed by dozens of chambers of commerce, businesses and legal experts;

( d) hands over private financial information of hundreds of thousands of Canadians to the US Internal Revenue Service under Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act;

( e) undermines the independence of 11 federal administrative tribunals; and

( f) fails to fully compensate for years of unjust clawback to the benefits of Canada's disabled veterans.”.
