The closure of the Experimental Lakes program makes no sense from an environmental or a fiscal perspective. This important program is being cut for purely ideological reasons and is yet another part of Harper’s ongoing war on environmental monitoring. http://glennthibeault.ndp.ca/post/conservative-cuts-to-environmental-research-disastrous-for-northern-ontarioTue 12:57 pm | Ontario, Sudbury - MP

Why re-invent the wheel? In Canada, we already have a system in place to address consumer and small business banking complaints. Why is the Minister of Finance flushing this impartial adjudicator down the drain in favour of a system that only benefits the big banks? http://glennthibeault.ndp.ca/post/flaherty-turning-his-back-on-consumers-and-small-businesses-ndpMay 15, 2012 10:11 am | Ontario, Sudbury - MP

The Conservatives came to Ottawa promising change. This wasn't the change that most people were expecting. We in the NDP, unlike the Government, think Canadians should be allowed to examine legislative changes in the Budget, which could have huge negative reprocussions from coast to coast to coast.May 15, 2012 7:48 am | Ontario, Sudbury - MP

My NDP colleague Joe Comartin today introduced a Private Member’s Bill which would change the Criminal Code to recognize animals as sentient beings. This would lead to increased penalties for people who commit acts of animal cruelty. If we can get this change, it should lead to less injuries like those inflicted on Buddy the Dog, and harsher punishments for those people who do carry out such horrific acts.Apr 03, 2012 11:16 am | Ontario, Sudbury - MP
