C-4 A second act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 21, 2013 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-4, A second act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 21, 2013 and other measures, because it:

( a) decreases transparency and erodes democratic process by amending 70 different pieces of legislation, many of which are not related to budgetary measures;

( b) dismantles health and safety protections for Canadian workers, affecting their right to refuse unsafe work;

( c) increases the likelihood of strikes by eliminating binding arbitration as an option for public sector workers; and

( d) eliminates the independent Canada Employment Insurance Financing Board, allowing the government to continue playing politics with employment insurance rate setting.”.
