Minorities Ignored by Harper Government
May 16, 2007
The report by Canada’s Official Languages Commissioner Graham Fraser is the latest example of the Harper government’s attack on Canada's minority communities, Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion said today. “The Prime Minister is violating the Official Languages Act, which allows for the Standing Committee on Official Languages study the report presented by the Commissioner of Official Languages,” said Mr. Dion.
Speak Out on Income Trusts
May 16, 2007
It’s been seven months since Stephen Harper reneged on his promise not to tax income trusts.
The immediate effect of his deceit sent shockwaves through the markets, and eliminated $25 billion from peoples’ hard-earned savings. Retirement funds, post-secondary education savings, and many other forms of investments evaporated in less than one business day.
Defending Bilingualism in Canada
May 15, 2007
The Conservative government must stop ignoring the needs of Canada’s official language minority communities, Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion said today.
Canada has had a policy of official bilingualism for almost 40 years, said Mr. Dion. It's the basis of this country and there is consensus amongst all political parties. However, the Prime Minister has not rallied behind bilingualism until 2005, after denouncing it as a failed god.
Supporting our Troops, Upholding Democracy
May 14, 2007
The Conservative government is using their support of Canada’s troops as political tool to distract from their mishandling of the Afghanistan mission, the Liberal Opposition said today.
No party in this house has a monopoly on patriotism and no party has a monopoly on support for our troops or for the mission, said Deputy Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff. No government has the right to hide behind our troops when subjected to scrutiny in the House, yet that’s happened at Petawawa on Friday.
