|
| May 28, 2010 — Mr. Wrzesnewskyj (Etobicoke Centre) — That, in the opinion of this House, the government should immediately introduce legislation that would expand the definition of “identifiable group” in relation to hate propaganda in subsection 318(4) of the Criminal Code to include gender. |
|
|
| May 28, 2010 — Mr. McGuinty (Ottawa South) — That this House calls on the government to suspend all new leasing activity in Canada’s Arctic, including in Lancaster Sound and the Beaufort Sea, pending a complete examination of the risks related to petroleum activity in the North; and in the wake of the ecological and economic disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico, this House calls on the government to develop and table immediately an explicit contingency plan to deal with any oil spill off of any of Canada's three coasts which ensures the very best emergency and safety measures are available in a timely manner and properly accounted for as part of the normal cost of doing business. |
|
|
| May 28, 2010 — Mr. Holland (Ajax—Pickering) — That, in the opinion of the House, while Canadians are justifiably proud of Canada’s upcoming hosting of the G-8 and G-20 summits and determined to provide effective and efficient security for the visiting world leaders, they are outraged at the reckless partisan choices and financial mismanagement that have caused the security budget for the summits to skyrocket to over $1 billion which is more than six times the original budget and more than was spent on security for the 2010 Winter Olympics which lasted for 17 days and therefore the House calls on the government to provide a detailed breakdown to Canadians of how the money earmarked for security is being spent and an explanation of how the security budget was permitted to spiral out of control. |
|
|
| May 28, 2010 — Mr. McCallum (Markham—Unionville) — That this House acknowledges that Canada’s corporate tax rates are already among the lowest in the developed world and are 25 percent lower than those of the United States, and therefore calls upon the government to freeze corporate tax rates at their 2010 levels and calls upon the government to instead reinvest those funds in further deficit reduction and in three clear priorities: |
| a pan-Canadian plan for life-long learning and innovation; |
| stronger support for the elderly, the disabled and their care-givers; and |
| Canadian leadership in the world on such vital matters as clean energy, a healthier environment and the pursuit of peace and stability in troubled regions around the globe. |
