April 27, 2012 — Mr. Rae (Toronto Centre) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government, and specifically the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the President of the Treasury Board, has failed to learn the painful lessons from Walkerton which proved that cuts to essential government services protecting the health and safety of Canadians are reckless and can cause Canadians to lose their lives; and further, that the House condemn the government for introducing a budget that will repeat the mistakes of the past and put Canadians in danger by reducing food inspection, search and rescue operations, and slashing environmental protections, and call on the government to reverse these positions.

April 27, 2012 — Mr. McKay (Scarborough—Guildwood) — That the House call on the government to: (a) restart the process to replace the Royal Canadian Air Force’s CF-18 fighter aircraft under a secretariat named the “New Canadian Fighter Aircraft Secretariat”; (b) proceed with an open and transparent Canadian competition based on the publicly disclosed needs of Canada’s future national and international mission requirements, formulated on Canadian interests, international obligations and foreign policy objectives; (c) provide all necessary information such as the total life-cycle cost of this future fighter to Parliament; (d) ask that the Parliamentary Budget Officer review the estimated cost and be provided with the appropriate resource to do so; (e) fully disclose the related cost of this replacement aircraft and that it be tabled in Parliament, along with updates every 6 months; and (f) ask that the Auditor General of Canada review the process before the publication of the request for proposal (RFP) is issued.
