Arrow Protecting the Privacy of Canadians

ImageAs of late the issue that my office has been receiving the most comments on has been our Government’s recent decision to replace the mandatory census with a voluntary national survey.

I would like to take this opportunity to explain the rationale for the changes to the census.

The reasons stem from our belief that it is inappropriate to compel Canadians to divulge extensive private and personal information. I myself have heard from many constituents who do not wish to hand over their personal information to Statistics Canada, and I find it incredible that some would put forth that these individuals deserve to be branded as criminals and sent to jail!

Arrow TFSA Mistaken Over-Contributions
News PostedPosted in: Press Releases
ImageOur Government introduced the Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) as a part of our Budget 2008 - a flexible, registered, general-purpose account that allows Canadians to watch their savings grow, tax free. The Tax Free Savings Account is the most important savings vehicle since the introduction of the RRSP. This flexible, registered, general-purpose account allows Canadians to watch their savings grow, tax free.

This is the first account of its kind in Canadian history. It provides all Canadians with a powerful incentive to save. We have also been clear from the outset of this initiative that Canadians can contribute up to, and no more than $5000 to their TFSA.

2009 was the first year of the program and the response to the TFSA has been overwhelmingly positive. Approximately 4.7 million Canadians have taken out a TFSA since the program was initiated. (Cont'd...)
Arrow Canada Hosts a Successful G20 Summit
News PostedPosted in: Press Releases
ImageThe G-20 Leaders met in Toronto under its new role as the premier forum for international economic cooperation at a critical juncture in the global economic recovery. Our Government leaders reaffirmed our collective resolve to safeguard and strengthen recovery and foster strong, sustainable and balanced growth.

Our Government’s decisive actions over the past two years have helped protect our citizens from the global recession and have fuelled economic growth. Yet, the global economy remains fragile and the unbalanced nature of the expansion now poses risks to growth.

I myself was in Toronto on Sunday to attend a meeting alongside Prime Minister Stephen Harper with the Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh. While in Toronto I was struck by the progress that had been made in such a short period of time by the World Leaders. (Cont'd...)
Arrow Balanced Reforms for Canada's Refugee System
News PostedPosted in: Press Releases
ImageOn June 15th I was pleased to rise along with my colleagues in the House of Commons to give unanimous support for our Government’s immigration reform legislation, Bill C-11.

This balanced legislation to improve Canada’s refugee system promises to deliver quicker decisions on refugee claims and provide faster protection to those in need and was introduced in Parliament on March 30th, 2010.

What is remarkable about this legislation was that our Government worked with the opposition parties in Parliament on it from the get-go. We discussed ideas both publicly and privately with the objective of a balanced refugee reform bill and package that would meet our common objective of a system that is both fast and fair.
