Ms. Jean Crowder (Nanaimo Cowichan, NDP): Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives’ sales job on their HST tax hike is completely collapsing. The claim that the HST will remove embedded taxes in B.C. is simply not true.

The billion-dollar forestry assistance plan announced June 17th to help pulp and paper production in

I spoke with representatives of local unions immediately after the announcement. Although they were pleased to hear the government was finally taking steps to level the playing field for pulp and paper producers in Canada, they raised some concerns.

Well, the playing field on the international level is far less in terms of economics then we are in North America, so we have to find a way that keeps the dollar in Canada and is aiding in the development of companies, International companies will find a way to get the dollars out. So perhaps the people who work there or in the forest industry can ... Read Moreslowly begin to own more shares in these companies. I'm a little nieve in international politics and markets and much of our home politics but if our wages are being curtailed by the the lower economy of foreign countries then we need to do something about how we participate, so we can't be held hostage by the corporate directors.

Well, since the first thanksgiving in North America the First People have been slowly pushed aside. Now this is a great step in focusing on actual History of the First Nations of Canada and North America. Perhaps it can also be a start to bringing truth to History being taught in schools.
Thanks Jean..............lets carry on.
