Vote #267 on November 3rd, 2014

C-43 A second 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 second reading to Bill C-43, A second Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on February 11, 2014 and other measures, because it:

( a) amends dozens of unrelated Acts without adequate parliamentary debate and oversight;

( b) fails to address persistent unemployment and sluggish economic growth;

( c) aims to strip refugee claimants of access to social assistance to meet their basic needs;

( d) imposes a poorly designed job credit that will create few, if any, jobs while depleting Employment Insurance Funds; and

( e) breaks the government’s promises to protect small businesses from merchant fees and to ban banks from charging pay-to-pay fees.”.
