In the House, Questions
Mr. Hoang Mai (Brossard—La Prairie, NDP): Mr. Speaker, we really did not need another example of the Minister of National Revenue's poor management of her departmental portfolio, but unfortunately, she has given us one anyway.
Mr. Hoang Mai (MP Brossard-La Prairie):
With regard to environmental assessment on the proposed new bridge on the St. Lawrence River at Montreal:
(a) why was this assessment done using a screening type of assessment rather than a comprehensive study;
(b) what type of assessment will this project be subject to, under the new regulations and changes to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act as proposed in bill C-38;
OTTAWA — MP Hoang Mai (Brossard–La Prairie), NDP National Revenue Critic, is proud of the success of Tackle Tax Havens, a event organized in cooperation with Canadians for Tax Fairness. Held earlier this week in Ottawa, the well-attended session brought together MPs, senators and experts to kick off the national campaign to fight tax havens.
Because of its fly-by-the-seat-of-its-pants approach and its less-than-transparent management of the Champlain bridge project, the Conservative government has missed a unique opportunity to establish strong ties with the South Shore community.
