Prices in Canada continue to go up under Mark Carney’s government, and many of them are automatic, meaning that Parliament does not approve them (cost of postage, alcohol, passports etc.) Does this increasing reliance on ‘escalator’ taxes concern you? Let me know here!

CPAC: Conservatives React to Govt’s Debates Commission Announcement

October 30, 2018

On Parliament Hill, Conservative MPs Stephanie Kusie (the party’s critic for democratic institutions) and Alain Rayes react to the federal government’s announcement concerning the creation of a new independent commission to organize party leaders’ debates. The government has nominated former governor general David Johnston to be Canada’s first debates commissioner. It has also set out criteria for parties to participate in debates. The 2018 federal budget set aside $5.5 million over two years to fund the commission. The Liberals had promised during the 2015 campaign to create an independent debates commission.
