| Opposition Motions |
| April 21, 2009 — Ms. Wasylycia-Leis (Winnipeg North) — That, in the opinion of this House, the lack of a Pharmacare program is causing undue strain on Health Care budgets, and these costs will continue to skyrocket; therefore this House calls on the government to work with provinces and territories to implement a Pharmacare program that reduces drug costs for consumers and governments; and to implement as part of a Pharmacare program: (a) Canada-wide prescription drug program; (b) a bulk buying program; (c) a ban on direct to consumer advertising; and (d) measures to make it easier to choose lower-cost generic drugs. |
|
|
| April 21, 2009 — Mr. Marston (Hamilton East—Stoney Creek) — That in the opinion of the House, the government should take immediate action to protect Canadians’ retirement savings in the face of the current economic crisis, which has led to unprecedented financial losses and the serious risk of failure of workplace pensions; and therefore, this House calls on the government to: (a) strengthen and enhance the Canadian Pension Plan and other income support mechanisms such as Old Age Security program and the Guaranteed Income Supplement; (b) work with the provinces to develop a pension insurance program to guarantee workers actually receive the retirement benefits they have earned, even if their employer goes out of business; and that, in the opinion of the House, the government should take action to protect consumers who are particularly vulnerable in tough economic times. |
|
|
| April 21, 2009 — Mr. Rafferty (Thunder Bay—Rainy River) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government should move immediately to support the struggling forestry sector by: (a) extending and securing loan guarantees to companies in need; (b) countering the United States ‘‘Black Liquor’’ subsidy for the pulp and paper industry through negotiation prior to June 1, 2009 or by introducing similar supports in Canada as soon as possible; and (c) convening a national stakeholder summit to address the severe and ongoing crisis in the sector. |
|
|
| April 21, 2009 — Mr. Mulcair (Outremont) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government should immediately convene a summit of the various stakeholders to address the credit crisis facing small and medium sized businesses. |
|
|
| April 21, 2009 — Mr. Thibeault (Sudbury) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government should take action to protect consumers who are particularly vulnerable in tough economic times; and therefore, this House calls on the government to introduce, within 6 months, comprehensive legislation, similar to the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 introduced by the Obama Administration in the United States, that would: (a) protect consumers from “any time, any reason” interest rate increases and account changes; (b) prohibit unfair application of card payments; (c) protect cardholders who pay on time; (d) limit abusive fees and penalties; (e) prohibit issuers from using a consumer’s card history with another creditor to raise interest rates (“universal default” ban); (f) prohibit issuers from charging interest on debt that has already been repaid; (g) ensure that cardholders are informed of the terms of their account; and (h) protect young consumers from aggressive credit card solicitations. |

Private Members' Notices of Motions |
|
| M-357 — April 21, 2009 — Mr. Rafferty (Thunder Bay—Rainy River) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government should consider the advisability of countering the United States “Black Liquor’’ subsidy either by negotiating an end of that tax credit and subsidy in the United States prior to June 1, 2009, or by drafting a government bill to provide a fuel tax credit regime for the pulp and paper industry in Canada that is of equal or greater benefit to that industry as the “Black Liquor’’ alternative fuel tax credit regime is in the United States to the pulp and paper industry in that country. |
