|
The House resumed consideration of the motion of Mr. Massé (Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia), seconded by Ms. Sahota (Brampton North), — That the following Address be presented to His Excellency the Governor General of Canada: |
To His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Chancellor and Principal Companion of the Order of Canada, Chancellor and Commander of the Order of Military Merit, Chancellor and Commander of the Order of Merit of the Police Forces, 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 of the amendment of Ms. Ambrose (Sturgeon River—Parkland), seconded by Mr. Lebel (Lac-Saint-Jean), — That the motion be amended by adding the following:
|
"and regrets to inform Your Excellency that your government has not acknowledged that many of its promises do not provide transparent cost estimates, implementation plans, or consider cost burdens to the provinces, and as such your government should put the best interests of Canadians first by reversing its plan to deliberately put Canada back into deficit, since such a move would ultimately lead to a higher tax burden for Canadians, just as it reversed its unrealistic promise to bring 25 000 Syrian refugees to Canada before the end of 2015; and
|
further regrets to inform Your Excellency that your government has failed to outline a plan to create jobs in Canada's private sector, and has ignored important economic drivers such as the agricultural, energy and manufacturing sectors, despite the billions of dollars in economic activity they produce every year; and your government has also failed to mention Canada's responsibility to stand shoulder to shoulder with our allies against ISIS at a time when they are stepping up their fight against terrorism.";
|
And of the subamendment of Mr. Mulcair (Outremont), seconded by Ms. Blaney (North Island—Powell River), — That the amendment be amended by deleting all the words after the word "by" and substituting the following:
|
"working in collaboration with opposition parties to present realistic, structured and concrete changes that benefit some of Canada's most vulnerable citizens, including: seniors through an increase to the Guaranteed Income Supplement, middle class families through reducing taxes on the first income tax bracket, low income workers with leadership by introducing a $15 per hour federal minimum wage, and supports to those struggling to enter the workforce with a robust and reliable Employment Insurance program.".
