“this House decline to give third reading to Bill C-59, An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on April 21, 2015 and other measures, because it:
|
(a) introduces income splitting and supersized Tax-Free Savings Account measures that will primarily benefit the wealthy few while wasting billions of dollars;

|
(c) leaves Canadian interns without protections against excessive working hours, sexual harassment, and an unending cycle of unpaid work;
