Opposition Motions
October 21, 2011 — Ms. Crowder (Nanaimo—Cowichan) — That this House note with concern the evidence of the three-decade trend of growing income inequality among Canadians, its negative impact on Canadian families, our economy and on our social cohesion; and urge the government to take immediate steps to adjust its social and fiscal policies so that they counteract that trend and work to build a fair and prosperous Canada where no one is left behind.

October 21, 2011 — Ms. Ashton (Churchill) — That, in the opinion of the House, farmers have a democratic right to determine the future of their own supply management tools and marketing boards; and recognizing this right, the House calls on the government to set aside its legislation abolishing the Canada Wheat Board (CWB) single desk and to conduct a full and free vote by all current members of the CWB to determine their wishes, and calls on the government to agree to honour the outcome of that democratic process.
