Orders of the Day |
Address in Reply to the Speech from the Throne |
| Address Debate — maximum of 6 appointed days, pursuant to Standing Order 50(1). |
| December 11, 2015 — 3rd appointed day. |
| December 8, 2015 — Resuming debate on the motion of Mr. Massé (Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia), seconded by Ms. Sahota (Brampton North), — That the following Address be presented to His Excellency the Governor General of Canada: |
| To His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Chancellor and Principal Companion of the Order of Canada, Chancellor and Commander of the Order of Military Merit, Chancellor and Commander of the Order of Merit of the Police Forces, Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada. |
| MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY: |
| We, Her Majesty's most loyal and dutiful subjects, the House of Commons of Canada, in Parliament assembled, beg leave to offer our humble thanks to Your Excellency for the gracious Speech which Your Excellency has addressed to both Houses of Parliament.; |
| And on the amendment of Ms. Ambrose (Sturgeon River—Parkland), seconded by Mr. Lebel (Lac-Saint-Jean), — That the motion be amended by adding after the words "of Parliament" the following: |
| "and regrets to inform Your Excellency that your government has not acknowledged that many of its promises do not provide transparent cost estimates, implementation plans, or consider cost burdens to the provinces, and as such your government should put the best interests of Canadians first by reversing its plan to deliberately put Canada back into deficit, since such a move would ultimately lead to a higher tax burden for Canadians, just as it reversed its unrealistic promise to bring 25 000 Syrian refugees to Canada before the end of 2015; and |
| further regrets to inform Your Excellency that your government has failed to outline a plan to create jobs in Canada's private sector, and has ignored important economic drivers such as the agricultural, energy and manufacturing sectors, despite the billions of dollars in economic activity they produce every year; and your government has also failed to mention Canada's responsibility to stand shoulder to shoulder with our allies against ISIS at a time when they are stepping up their fight against terrorism". |
| Voting on the amendment — not later than 15 minutes before the end of the time provided for the Address debate, pursuant to Standing Order 50(5). |
