  Add your voice to thousands across Canada who are speaking out against Bill C-38, The Budget Implementation Act. This “Trojan Horse” Bill is unparalleled both in its significant reforms to federal laws unrelated to the budget and in the limited opportunities time for public consultation. Elements of this bill causing the greatest alarm include: • The gutting of 4 decades of sound environmental ... protection laws and processes • Severe reductions in laws for the protection of fisheries and fish habitat • Cuts to public pensions and job standards • Reduced oversight and democratic accountability • Undermining of federal role in public health care. Visit http://budget2012.ndp.ca/ to share your comments about this worrying bill.

  Proud that our caucus is standing up for secure retirement for Canadians. Here's our Opposition Day motion, to be debated this Thursday: “That this House rejects calls by the Prime Minister to balance the Conservative deficit on the backs of Canada’s seniors by means such as raising the age of eligibility for Old Age Security and calls on the government to make the reduction and eventual elimination of seniors’ poverty a cornerstone of the next budget.”

  Southern Alberta residents sent me petitions to table calling for a halt to gas fracking on federal lands. The Auditor General has chastized the government for failing to enact laws to regulate environmental impacts from industrial developments or resource extraction on First Nation lands. In the vacuum of protective laws fracking operations are proceeding on First Nation lands in Alberta and BC. First Nation women who stood in the way of fracking trucks on the Kanai Blood Tribe lands were handcuffed, jailed and are currently being criminally prosecuted. Today I called on the government to exercize their powers and regulate the sector. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyr40EhqJ8U

  Today I will be speaking on our Opposition Day motion on climate change, as the Minister of the Environment shames us by pulling out of Kyoto. Here's the text of our motion: That this House urge the government to: (a) play a leadership role in tackling global climate change and ensuring Canadian jobs aren’t lost as the rest of the world moves towards a new sustainable energy economy; (b) work in a leadership role at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Durban towards a binding climate change treaty with the goal of limiting average global temperature increases to 2°C; (c) recognize the real, science-based threat of global climate change, as well as respect and adhere to its commitments under the Kyoto Protocol and the Copenhagen Accord; and (d) take immediate action to lower net carbon emissions in Canada and increase Canadian trade with our major partners in a new sustainable energy economy.
