| May 28, 2012 — Mr. McKay (Scarborough—Guildwood) — That the House reject the government’s continuing mismanagement of the replacement of the CF-18 fighter aircraft, including; (a)the government’s presentation of information to Parliament which was dramatically different from information presented to the Cabinet; and (b) the Prime Minister’s claim that a contract existed which protected the public purse from rising costs, when no such contract exists; that the House agrees with both the Auditor General and the Parliamentary Budgetary Officer that the lack of due diligence by the Departments of National Defence and Public Works and Government Services has left Parliament and Canadians without the information necessary to make a reasoned judgment with respect to this procurement; that the government is ignoring the finding of contempt of Parliament of March 25, 2011 and continuing its failure to provide Parliament with full and accurate information; that a Special Committee be appointed and directed to review the replacement of Canada’s fighter aircraft; that the committee commence its study by undertaking a Foreign and Defence Policy review in order to better define the mission requirements of the aircraft; that the membership of the special committee consist of 12 members which shall include seven members from the government party, four members from the Official Opposition and one member from the Liberal Party, provided that the Chair shall be from the government party; that the members to serve on the said committee be appointed by the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs and the report containing the membership of the special committee be presented to the House no later than 20 sitting days after the adoption of this motion; that substitutions to the membership of the special committee be allowed, if required, in the manner provided by Standing Order 114(2); that the special committee have all the powers of a Standing Committee as provided in the Standing Orders. |

|
| May 28, 2012 — Mr. Dion (Saint-Laurent—Cartierville) — That the House recognize the alleged systematic, organized attempt to deny Canadian voters across the country their fundamental right to vote and have their voices heard during the 2011 federal election campaign, through the use of phone calls designed to deter supporters of particular parties from casting their ballot by misdirecting them to the wrong polling site, or harassing them so they would not vote at all; and because these actions have called the integrity of the electoral process and the election results in at least 16 ridings in question, the House call on the government to convene a Royal Commission to fully investigate these alleged election irregularities. |
|
|
| May 28, 2012 — Ms. Duncan (Etobicoke North) — That the House recognize that access to sufficient, safe, healthy, adequate food is a fundamental human right to which many Canadians are denied; that access to food is fundamental to the fulfillment of other human rights; that the absence of this basic right is an affront to human dignity, which offends our sense of justice and fairness as Canadians; and that the House call on the government to immediately address this disparity through the creation of a National Food Policy, in consultation with all stakeholders, Aboriginal organizations, and provincial and territorial governments. |
|
|
| May 28, 2012 — Mr. Casey (Charlottetown) — That the House recognize the tremendous sacrifice that our veterans have made on behalf of Canada, and call on the government to do the honourable thing and not appeal the May 1, 2012 Federal Court of Canada decision that found that the government was in breach of the Service Income Security Insurance Plan (SISIP) policy by clawing back disability benefits from Canada’s disabled veterans. |
|
|
| May 28, 2012 — Mr. Rae (Toronto Centre) — That, in the opinion of the House, the Indian Act is the embodiment of failed colonial and paternalistic policies which have denied First Nations their rights, fair share in resources; fostered mistrust and created systemic barriers to the self-determination and success of First Nations; that the House call on the government to eliminate these barriers by initiating a formal process of direct engagement with First Nations, on a nation-to-nation basis, which focuses on replacing the Indian Act with new agreements based on: (a) the Constitutional, Treaty, and inherent rights of all First Nations; (b) the historical and fiduciary responsibilities of the Crown to First Nations; (c) the standards established in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including the principle of free, prior, and informed consent; (d) respect, recognition, reconciliation and support for First Nations; (e) partnership and mutual accountability between the Crown and First Nations; and (f) stability and safety of First Nations; that this process begin within three months and be completed within two years; and that the process conclude with a final report which details a series of concrete deliverables for the government to act upon. |
|
|
| May 28, 2012 — Mr. Lamoureux (Winnipeg North) — That the House recognize the failure of Bill C-37, An Act to Amend the Citizenship Act, which received Royal Assent on April 17, 2008, to provide a full resolution for all lost Canadians and call on the government to immediately introduce new legislation to provide a quick and compassionate resolution to our country’s remaining lost Canadians. |
|
