| Opposition Motion |
| June 5, 2007 — Mr. McGuinty (Ottawa South) — That, in the opinion of the House, the current Prime Minister has damaged Canada's international reputation in the fight against climate change; |
| the use of “intensity-based“ targets for greenhouse gas emissions is insufficient; |
| an effective global approach to climate change must be based on “hard caps” on emissions; and |
| therefore, the House calls on the Prime Minister to inform G8 Leaders that Canada will once again push for a UN-based approach to climate change that includes “hard caps” on greenhouse gas emissions. |
|
|
| June 5, 2007 — Ms. Neville (Winnipeg South Centre) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government has failed to recognize and respect the important relationship that must exist between the government and First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples of Canada; |
| the government has, through its actions and strategic inactions, undermined this relationship by refusing to apologize to victims of Indian Residential Schools, failing to support the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and failing to confront serious social issues such as child welfare, a lack of education, health conditions (including disease, infant mortality, youth suicide and substance abuse) as well as housing, infrastructure, safe drinking water and land claims; and |
| therefore, the House calls on the government to recognize and immediately implement the Accords signed in May 2005 between the Crown and the Assembly of First Nations, the Metis National Council, the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples and the Native Women's Association of Canada, which committed the parties to work cooperatively on policy development according to the principles of mutual recognition, mutual respect, mutual benefit and mutual responsibility. |
|
|
| June 5, 2007 — Mr. Savage (Dartmouth—Cole Harbour) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government: |
| made an error by first reducing the funds available for summer student placements and then by setting program criteria that prevented legitimate not-for-profit organizations from receiving funding; |
| reversed course and announced funding for some not-for-profit organizations that had been refused, without any explanation as to how program criteria had changed to make them eligible; |
| has not been transparent in its handling of this program, as demonstrated by the government's willingness to cite examples of some organizations that will receive funding while refusing to publish a full list of organizations that will receive funding; and |
| therefore, the House calls on the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada to publish immediately the new criteria being used for this program, the list of all organizations that have been identified as eligible for funding in the current fiscal year, the amounts each will receive, the total amount being commited to the program overall this year, the source of any incremental funds since the middle of May, and a list of those organizations that have been turned down for funding this year together with the specific reason for each rejection. |
