OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau backed a national requirement for ten days paid sick leave Monday to get the NDP’s support for the Liberal plan for Parliament this summer.
That COVID-19 committee would now meet four days a week, up from the three it had been. The other House of Commons committees that have been running would continue to run and meet virtually. One of the many complaints about the existing format, is that the COVID-19 committee limits the opposition to questions on that issue. The house would also sit on four days spread out over July and August and on those days all topics could be discussed.
He noted Canada and Britain’s parliament had both sat through world wars, previous pandemics and other crises and shouldn’t have to stop now.
Disgusting. And at full pay. They met 44 times over the last year. Trudeau on Rideau Cottage vacation mode for another 3 months with his daily scripted fireside chat. Drain the swamp.
What a joke!
But what are the economic affects of this? Your political bias is well known but as neutral political observers we need constructive comment not biased bile!
Another layer of gov'ment bureaucracy-how does this work-go to employer-declare you are sick-get doctor's certificate-apply for benefits-wait 3-5 weeks for the 1st payment. Meanwhile, do you sit at home, twiddling your thumbs or do you go back to work? How often can this be done?
'Apologies theJagmeetSingh NDP' [italics] - not really, I'm just exercising perfunctory politeness - the truth can hurt ... cdnpoli
I can't believe the people in this thread. 10 days a year of sick leave-a year! Would you rather your employee's and co-workers go to work sick and get everyone else sick? Because that's the alternative.
Where is the help for seniors from this goverment?
Must be an election coming.
It's a provincial issue, he's just pandering for votes.
Free money everyday. Fraud, debt we can't pay for, overseas grants, and more today.
Since when is it ok for MPs to refuse to do their jobs and represent constituents until they get what they want politically ... especially during a pandemic
Trudeau is a snake, he is a minority government doing everything he can to gain more power. Let’s watch for his next move
You do understand this is just a new substantial tax for employers. Carbon tax theory is that if you put a tax o. Something you get less of it. If you put a tax on employees you get......
So basically Trudeau will pander to which ever party that will ensure the hoc is closed and he doesn’t have to answer for his disastrous rein
So they are bartering back and forth, with our money and businesses, to play power games and get what each other wants. It seems doing whats best for Canada is last on the list.
10 Paid sick days is the equivalent of half a month off for most people.. So while our economy is shit (because of the governments reckless spending and overreaction to covid-19) now your going to force even small businesses to pay people for not working for an additional 2 weeks
RyanTumilty Suggest you read below to missed points like when would Special COVID-19 committee meetings end & when other committee meetings too until whenever in September & background on spending estimate tabled with no budget or economic update?
What ma and pa conpany employing 2 or 3 people can afford that?
Profoundly anti democratic games being played by all the left-wing parties.
No confidence in Libs and of course NDP support as they want to stay in parliment. What a bunch of grifters .
The guy who never worked in his life will bankrupt this country. Let's see what are gonna happen when no more money to deliver!
This is not government this is mafia negotiation tactics. We are at war with our government and they are going to lose
😡
So he's just negotiating his own situation. Such leadership.
When is Rempel returning to Canada?
The nerve...playing politics!
Isn't the NDP bankrupt? Wonder why
Is this guy trying to ruin every business in this country? He doesn’t care about people. He just wants votes.
Spend spend spend! The only way the liberals can get votes.
Typical, don’t worry theJagmeetSingh can be bought easily, very sad excuse of a MP. Don’t worry Jaggers, I live in a NDP riding and can assure you that mistake won’t be made again judging on the people’s sustain for you and your party.
Just pay everyone for ever
The NDP have just given Liberals (and themselves!) a pass in participating in our democratic process. Paid sick leave - is that the price for our democracy? NDP also backed Liberal motion to shut down any inquiries into China.
Pathetic.... so all we get as Parliament is continued drivel at the PM's Cottage steps.... to me this is a shameful afront to our democratic principles... not that different probably to Putin's Russia except our PM showers the Plebs with cash
Let me get this straight. If approved and passed, I will now get 10 sick days paid per year?
It was completely obvious hey were cooperating and coordinating in the House of Commons today.
nothing like bribery to prevent having to show up to work and be accountable the liberal way! lol
Sleeze
10 days is way to many. This would kill small business and would make some business less competitive. This why government ruins everything it touches.
NDP has disappointed me as an opposition party, allowing this no clue spending to occur in order for them to get a bit of funding to help them gain votes,really sad no accountability for this government
Singh. Blanchet. Trudeau. Bunch of ' horse traders.'
All this so he can keep the house locked out while he doles our Billions. This has to end!! We need to get the liberals to sign on the dotted line that if “Joe tax payer” doesn’t agree or accept any of the Covid money then the Lib’s are on the hook. All of them!!!
Weasels, they are all weasels
Skippy is allowed to continue to hide while spending billions and the national ndp party will delay declaring bankruptcy for a few more months.
They’re not even trying to hide their duplicity! It’s sickening and egregious!
Apparently Trudeau will make a deal with the devil to get what he wants. NDP liberal_party TrudeauLied
Lol! Trudeau doesn’t want to work in the summer and he’s having Canadian business pay for his NDP bribe...
How is Jagmeet Sing still a leader of that party? All he probably does is smoke pot, and think of the ways to destroy Canada! Because no one with clear conscious would ever say or agree to shit that he does. Sing and Trudeau are the death of Canada!
so does Jagmeet now move into the cottage too?
Is there some shortage of problems that are actually in federal jurisdiction?
Grab power you little weasle
Companies will just offer less vacation time to make up for the sick time they have to pay. Or pay less in wages. They are not gonna suck it up.
It really doesn’t cost him anything because it’s a provincial responsibility.
Anyone think that the new paid sick days benefit will end after the pandemic does? Me neither...
The NDP Selling Canadians out for ten sick days. Remember that
10 sick days is way too much, a lot of people work jobs where it screws other people over if you take all these days off or it makes it hard to reach targets.
This is a nice deverssion policy announcement for trudeau. Not many questions being asked about the plight of the people in Hong Kong. After all, paid sick leave is so much more important than human rights for millions of people.
Only Temporary so the NDP has been had. Why the NDP would go for a Temporary measure is beyond me
Hes backing it cause he said it was a great idea...synical
This guy would sell his dog before facing the House of Commons. You can run Justin..but you cant hide much longer. JustinTrudeau
This country is so weak
JustinTrudeau theJagmeetSingh This is historic, Canada needs this.
Just another virtue-signalling foray into provincial jurisdiction, unless of course, if the feds want to pay for this program.
