Supreme Court stands up for consumers—bails out Conservatives: Masse declares a victory for Consumers as the Supreme Court acts to rectify price gouging


Fri 18 Sep 2009

Mr. Brian Masse (Windsor West, NDP): And they are proud of that legislation being passed, Mr. Speaker.
The Minister of Industry claims there are no national security concerns with the foreign takeover of Nortel. How can he know this when a review which involves multiple agencies did not happen?
Let us be clear there is no threshold when it comes to a national security review.

MASSE CONTINUES FIGHT AGAINST HARPER-MCGUINTY TAX GOUGE
HST will damage the economy during this time of recession while passing the bill to consumers


Thu 17 Sep 2009

Mr. Brian Masse (Windsor West, NDP): Mr. Speaker, I am proud to rise to support this petition which is against the Canada-Colombia trade deal. The House has been debating the issue of Canada entering into a privileged trading relationship with a narco-state that has a history of murder against civil society members who have tried to unionize and provide a better life for many citizens.
The petitioners are calling for a commission to be completed first to look at the human rights issues before Canada enters into that privileged trading relationship with such a state.


Thu 17 Sep 2009

Mr. Brian Masse (Windsor West, NDP): Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for all the work he has done on this. It certainly is not the full buildup we want, but it is a start.
One thing that is going to be raised is how we can afford this $1 billion bill. I want to point out and ask for his comments regarding what is happening with the redistribution of the Canadian economy. The Conservatives and Liberals have voted to reduce corporate tax cuts right now so that in 2012 they will be down to 15%.


Tue 15 Sep 2009

Mr. Brian Masse (Windsor West, NDP): Mr. Speaker, I would be pleased to ask my colleague a question. I want to make sure that we start this correctly. Could he outline some of the sidebar agreements that this deal has that are very unusual and also create some concern? The environment and labour practices in particular have been dominant in this agreement. Put on the side, they will allow for greater exploitation.


Mon 14 Sep 2009

Mr. Brian Masse (Windsor West, NDP): Mr. Speaker, I see that the House has already resumed with Conservative heckling from the very moment that we get going here again. Some things do not change.
Unfortunately we are seeing the bill re-emerge as well which is a big concern. Bill C-23 is a bill that would bring a trade agreement between Canada and Colombia.
