Thanks to Economic Action Plan, Canada has created over one million net new jobs since the depths of the global recession – the best job creation record in the G-7. Today, Minister Van Loan and Minister Paradis highlighted our Government’s accomplishments during our productive and hard-working sitting of the House of Commons. Our Government has introduced and passed the Economic Action Plan 2013 Act, No. 1, which implements many important measures from Economic Action Plan 2013. We have doubled Parliament’s productivity and implemented key commitments we made to Canadians by passing bills that will: •remove foreign criminals from Canada more quickly; •increase the surcharge paid by offenders to support victims of crime; •enhance RCMP accountability; •introduce new measures to combat and prevent terrorism; •improve to the Witness Protection Program; •give equal rights to women and girls living on reserves; •increase financial transparency for First Nations; •create a new framework to provide safe drinking water for First Nations reserves; and •provide Canada’s assent to changes that will enshrine gender equality and freedom to marry an individual of another faith in the laws governing the Royal line of succession.
