Tha...Here's the non-response I received today:<br /><br />Thank you for your letter regarding Economic Action Plan 2012. This budget sets out a comprehensive agenda to bolster Canada’s fundamental strengths and address the important challenges confronting the economy over the long term.<br /><br /> <br /><br />The issues included in this year’s budget and the subsequent Budget Implementation Act represent nothing new or groundbreaking. It has been common practice to include various measures in a budget, as what constitutes a budgetary item is traditionally very broad. In 2005, the previous Liberal government’s last Budget Implementation Bill amended dozens of different pieces of legislation varying from the Canadian Environmental Protection Act to the Broadcasting Act and the Employment Insurance Act.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Our government has allowed a significant time for debate over this bill. In fact this will be the longest debate on the budget in two decades. It is time that we bring this important bill to vote so that Canadians can see the benefits of Canada’s Economic Action Plan 2012.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Bill C-38 successfully completed its third reading in the House of Commons on June 18, 2012 and is currently undergoing its final assessment in the Senate of Canada. I encourage you to visit our Governments Website to address any other budgetary concerns you may have and to track its progress.

Dear Mr. Tweed
As a constituent, ...June 17, 2012<br /><br />Dear Mr. Tweed<br /><br /><br />As a constituent, I would like further information regarding Bill C-38. I am unable (due to geography) to attend any Parliamentary sessions, including the recent voting marathon, and due to work and family commitments I did not watch CPAC to hear each and every proposed amendment.<br /><br />None of the media seem to have actually captured the details of the 800+ proposed amendments to this bill. I am very curious to know the details that our Opposition Parties proposed as improvements to this bulk legislation. Could you provide me a list describing all of these rejected amendments? Also, I would appreciate your point-by-point assessment as to why you voted each one down.<br /><br />I’m not a fan of US-styled omnibus legislation because I don’t have enough time to read over 400 pages of dense information. It’s unfortunate that the Speaker of the House ruled against breaking the Bill up as requested by many patriotic Canadians, because that would have offered citizens like myself the opportunity to carefully review smaller, more focused pieces of legislation. Without that opportunity, I hope you can help me by providing the information requested.<br /><br />Thank you in advance for your assistance.<br /><br />Yours Sincerely,<br /><br /><br />J S<br /><br />Brandon, Manitobadouble nickelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02067401914703468252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022452485619502579.post-40597611212221142422012-06-16T22:18:04.338-04:002012-06-16T22:18:04.338-04:00Thanks thwap and double nickel.

The cons were "smart" to put all this shit in one huge, hard-to-read place. Have you tried to read it? I take a copy of it to the rallies, to my interviews, to various meetings, and I explain what I know is in it, and then I say, everything in these 400+ pages relates to another Act of legislation. That means to understand the context of anything in this bill, I have to find those other Acts and read THEM, too. How many Canadians have time for that? We depend on our elected officials to tell us what they are doing, and they have not. I have my doubts, honestly, as to whether my own Con MP has read it. I cannot believe that any thinking person could know exactly what is in it and approve of the whole thing.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11131927710530023725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022452485619502579.post-44719927323909823072012-06-15T11:55:51.575-04:002012-06-15T11:55:51.575-04:00NBDUDE,
