House Hansard - 335

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
June 19, 2024 02:00PM
Context: House Hansard - 335 - Jun/19/24
Ms. Lianne Rood (Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, CPC)
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-409, An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (hours of work of flight attendants). She said: Mr. Speaker, Conservatives have been travelling across this country, and we have heard for years from flight attendants that flight attendants in Canada are not paid until their aircraft is in motion. This is unfair, and it puts many women and diverse Canadians at a disadvantage. Conservatives believe that people should be paid for the work they do. That is why, today, I am honoured to table the flight attendants fairness act. This bill would make changes to the Canada Labour Code to require airlines to pay flight attendants for the work they do before, during and after a flight. The lack of action from the government on this matter proves once again that the NDP-Liberals are all talk, while Conservatives take action and provide common-sense solutions.

Context: House Hansard - 335 - Jun/19/24
Ms. Lianne Rood (Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, CPC)
moved for leave to introduce C-410, An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (campgrounds). She said: Mr. Speaker, Canada is home to over 5,600 campgrounds that are enjoyed by over 70% of Canadians who actively participate in outdoor and wilderness activities. These businesses employ over 140,000 Canadians and operate on very thin margins, making reinvestment for their facilities and upkeep hard to manage. My riding of Lambton—Kent—Middlesex is home to many campgrounds, and I have heard from people across this country that they are being treated unfairly as small seasonal businesses. The story is universal. After nine years of the NDP-Liberal government, life is unaffordable and Canadian small businesses deserve a break. That is why I am glad today to table an act to amend the Income Tax Act for campgrounds. The change proposed in the bill will allow campgrounds extra capital to use toward conservation, facilities maintenance, managing wildlife, recovery from the elements and increasing services to their campers. Once again, Conservatives are providing common-sense solutions that will cut back on punishing taxes, help grow our small businesses like campgrounds, and give Canadian families more opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors.
