| Opposition Motions |
| April 24, 2009 — Mr. Laforest (Saint-Maurice—Champlain) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government should negotiate in good faith with the Government of Quebec to resolve the dispute dating back over ten years regarding the harmonization of the QST with the GST in the early 1990s and agree to provide $2.6 billion in compensation to Quebec for this harmonization, since Quebec continues to administer these harmonized taxes. |
|
|
| April 24, 2009 — Mr. Holland (Ajax—Pickering) — That, in the opinion of this House, the Canadian Police Association is justified in feeling betrayed by the government with respect to its explicit promise to put more new police officers on Canada’s streets through the provision of long-term, predictable, and dedicated funding. |
|
|
| April 24, 2009 — Mr. Holland (Ajax—Pickering) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government has failed to take all necessary steps to ensure that the US Administration and the US Congress fully understand the critical importance of our shared border to trade and economic security in both Canada and the United States; and must ensure that the Canada-U.S. border remains an efficient gateway through which our national security, personal, and commercial interests are properly promoted and defended. |

|
|
| April 24, 2009 — Mr. Rae (Toronto Centre) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government’s policy inconsistency and extraordinary lack of leadership in its dealing with China, the world’s second largest economy, has not only damaged opportunities for trade which will, in turn, slow economic recovery and job creation in Canada, but has also impaired Canada’s influence on China on issues of human rights and therefore, the House calls on the government to take immediate steps to repair and rebuild Canada’s relationship with China. |
|
|
