Daily Digest February 9, 2009
The legislation implementing the Budget is now available. In the United States of America it has long been the pattern to tack on provisions unrelated to the purpose of a Bill in order to facilitate passage. To vote against the Bill over the "tack-on" and the entire legislation is defeated. It is likely that opponents will swallow the bile they feel and vote in favour of the Bill, tack-on and all.
In Canada, under a Parliamentary system voting down a Budget Bill not only defeats positive measures but generally results in an election. In the current situation there is some uncertainty because if the Government with only a minority in the House of Commons the Governor-General has the option of asking the official opposition to try to form a new government.
Read through what follows, Part 10, Part 11, Part 12, Part 13, Part 14 and Part 15; in your view are these relevant to the following stated goals?
"Canada's economic action plan will stimulate the economy by pursuing the following goals: investing immediately in infrastructure; cutting taxes and freezing employment insurance contributions; stimulating housing construction; improving access to financing and strengthening Canada's financial system; introducing measures to help Canadians; and supporting businesses and communities." http://www.pco-bcp.gc.ca/aia/index.asp?lang=eng&page=recent&doc=index/hansard-eng.htm .
The message to Ignatieff is to "Accept Bill C-10 or force an election".
This was hurriedly put together. There are other sections in the Act unrelated to Budget goals. One, I'm told, makes retroactive regulations in regard to student loan applications that could have serious implications for students who made errors on past applications - but you'll have to read the Bill yourself to find them.

Part 10 enacts the Expenditure Restraint Act. The purpose of that Act is to put in place a reasonable and an affordable approach to compensation across the federal public sector in support of responsible fiscal management in a difficult economic environment.
Part 12 amends the Competition Act. The amendments include
