Government Orders

The House resumed consideration of the motion of Mr. Martin (Minister of Finance), seconded by Mr. Gray (Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Solicitor General of Canada), — That this House approves in general the budgetary policy of the Government; (Ways and Means Proceedings No. 15)

And of the amendment of Mr. Loubier (Saint-Hyacinthe–Bagot), seconded by Mr. Pomerleau (Anjou–Rivière-des-Prairies), — That the motion be amended by replacing all the words after the word “That” with the following:

“the budget statement by the Minister of Finance be rejected by the House of Commons because it:

unilaterally maintains major reductions in transfer payments to the provinces in the fields of postsecondary education, health and social assistance, while intruding in areas of exclusive provincial jurisdiction, particularly by creating the Canada Foundation for Innovation from money earmarked for the provinces, introducing a national child tax benefit system, and setting up pilot projects filled with national unity propaganda in the field of health and social programs;

proposes no tangible job creation measures, does not substantially reduce Unemployment Insurance contribution rates, or improve protection for unemployed persons, which has been greatly reduced by Employment Insurance;

conceals its lack of action in creating jobs and fighting poverty, knowingly reducing effectiveness in these areas and distributing electoral gifts around Canada and Quebec;

does not include an in-depth reform of the tax treatment of businesses or individuals, for example, by maintaining benefits for large corporations and rich Canadians; and

introduces no measures to compensate the Quebec government for the 1991 harmonization of its sales tax with the federal GST, although Quebec would be eligible for this compensation in light of the $1 billion being paid to the maritime provinces.”;

And of the sub-amendment of Mr. Manning (Calgary Southwest), seconded by Mr. Solberg (Medicine Hat), — That the amendment be amended

  1. by inserting after the words “health and social assistance,” the following:
    “a measure which is not the answer to stronger sustainable social programs,”;
  2. by inserting after the words “proposes no tangible job creation measures” the following:
    ”, such as lower taxes to create long-term jobs,”; and
  3. by inserting after the words “electoral gifts around Canada and Quebec” the following:
    “which, among other things, hampers the government’s ability to balance the budget;”.

The debate continued.
