Address in Reply to the Speech from the Throne
The House resumed debate on the motion of Mr. Jackson (Bruce–Grey), seconded by Mrs. Ringuette-Maltais (Madawaska–Victoria), — That the following Address be presented to His Excellency the Governor General of Canada:
To His Excellency the Right Honourable Ramon John Hnatyshyn, a Member of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada, Chancellor and Principal Companion of the Order of Canada, Chancellor and Commander of the Order of Military Merit, One of Her Majesty’s Counsel learned in the law, Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada.
May it Please your Excellency:
We, Her Majesty’s most loyal and dutiful subjects, the House of Commons of Canada, in Parliament assembled, beg leave to offer our humble thanks to Your Excellency for the gracious Speech which your Excellency has addressed to both Houses of Parliament.
And on the amendment of Mr. Bouchard (Leader of the Opposition), seconded by Mr. Gauthier (Roberval), — That the following words be added to the Address:
“This House deplores the fact that Your Excellency’s advisers have shown themselves to be unconcerned about matters of extreme importance, such as the placing of public finances on a sounder footing and the cutting of fat from the federal administration; lack of vision in dealing with the economy, as made evident by the inadequacy of their proposed measures for promoting employment and by their perpetuation of the existing confusion in human resource programs; are ignorant of Québec’s legitimate political aspirations; and have presented to Parliament a program embodying an obvious willingness to dismantle the social security system and maintain an unfair tax system, thereby further undermining the financial well-being of a growing number of citizens.”
