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. 1)

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 this House because:

it proposes no real job creation initiatives and does not reduce government spending, most notably the approximately $50 million appropriated annually to the Senate;

it uses the Unemployment Insurance Fund surplus to reduce the budget deficit and reduces social transfers to the provinces;

it undermines labour sponsored venture capital funds, such as the FTQ and CSN funds;

it does not propose a transparent process for achieving genuine reform of corporate taxation, or an unequivocal determination to undertake such reform;

it undermines the provinces' fiscal autonomy;

it eliminates subsidies to dairy producers without offering them adequate financial compensation;

it jeopardizes women's financial independence by adopting household income as the basis for determining seniors' benefits.";

And of the sub-amendment of Mr. Grubel (Capilano -- Howe Sound), seconded by Mr. Solberg (Medicine Hat), -- That the amendment be amended:

by adding after the word "Senate" the following:

"and in particular, its impact on investor confidence results in these investors continuing to demand high interest rates on Canadian bonds, which delays economic recovery and normal job creation"; and

by adding after the words "transfers to provinces" the following:

"and in particular it does not offer Canadians a definite date within this government's mandate in which the deficit is eliminated, and in which economic growth once again would make feasible discussions about tax cuts, debt reduction and the restoration of social program spending".

The debate continued.
