PMO uses majority to rig Senate rules and force through Bill C-377<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"Conservative-Sentate-Reform\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Prime Minister has used his Conservative Senate majority to rig Senate rules, shut down debate and force through Bill C-377.\"Senate-Reform2-EN-\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral senators tried to do their job and demonstrate that the Senate really is a chamber of second sober thought, but Prime Minister Harper appears to have thrown a temper tantrum, stepping in to rig the rules, shut down debate, and make things go his way,\u201d said CLC president Hassan Yussuff.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a corrupt, cynical move that once more demonstrates that unions are far more democratic, transparent and accountable to their members than this prime minister and his government are to taxpayers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Conservatives have tried to spin Bill C-377 as being about union transparency, but experts from across the spectrum agree that it\u2019s really about red tape, that will force unions, their suppliers and other businesses they work with to spend millions of dollars and thousands of hours producing and processing expense reports to be reviewed and filed at taxpayer expense.<\/p>\n

The bill has been opposed by everyone from the NHL Players Association to Conservative and Liberal senators, constitutional experts, Canada’s privacy commissioner, the Canadian Bar Association, the insurance and mutual fund industry, seven provinces, and a long and diverse list of others in the business, financial, professional, legal, labour, and academic communities, private and public, federal and provincial.<\/p>\n

Yussuff thanked the minority of Senators who listened to the experts, stood their ground and opposed the legislation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s happened in the Senate is just one more reason that we\u2019ll be working hard to win a new government this fall, one that prioritizes the economy, jobs and health care over political manoeuvring,\u201d said Yussuff.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CLC and its affiliates will be going to court to challenge the legality and the constitutionality of this legislation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Le CPM se sert de sa majorit\u00e9 pour manipuler le R\u00e8glement du S\u00e9nat et imposer le projet de loi C-377<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"Conservative-Sentate-Reform-FR\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Le Premier ministre a utilis\u00e9 sa majorit\u00e9 conservatrice au S\u00e9nat pour manipuler le R\u00e8glement du S\u00e9nat, clore le d\u00e9bat et imposer le projet de loi C\u2011377.\"Senate-Reform2-FR\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Plusieurs s\u00e9nateurs ont tent\u00e9 de faire leur travail et d\u00e9montrer que le S\u00e9nat joue r\u00e9ellement un r\u00f4le de Chambre de r\u00e9flexion, mais le Premier ministre semble avoir piqu\u00e9 une crise, s\u2019immis\u00e7ant pour manipuler le R\u00e8glement, afin de clore le d\u00e9bat dans le but de parvenir \u00e0 ses fins\u00a0\u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Hassan Yussuff, pr\u00e9sident du CTC.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Cette man\u0153uvre cynique et corrompue d\u00e9montre une fois encore que les syndicats sont beaucoup plus d\u00e9mocratiques, transparents et responsables envers leurs membres que le sont le Premier ministre et son gouvernement envers les contribuables\u00a0\u00bb, a-t-il ajout\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Les conservateurs ont essay\u00e9 de maquiller le projet de loi C\u2011377 en mesure sur la transparence syndicale, mais des experts de tous les domaines sont d\u2019avis qu\u2019il s\u2019agit r\u00e9ellement d\u2019une question de bureaucratie visant \u00e0 forcer les syndicats, leurs fournisseurs et d\u2019autres entreprises avec lesquelles ils travaillent \u00e0 d\u00e9penser des millions de dollars et \u00e0 consacrer des milliers d\u2019heures \u00e0 produire et traiter des rapports de d\u00e9penses qui seront v\u00e9rifi\u00e9s et class\u00e9s aux frais des contribuables.<\/p>\n

Se sont oppos\u00e9s au projet de loi C\u2011377 l\u2019Association des joueurs de la LNH, des s\u00e9nateurs conservateurs et lib\u00e9raux, des constitutionnalistes, la commissaire \u00e0 la protection de la vie priv\u00e9e, l\u2019Association du Barreau canadien, le secteur de l\u2019assurance et des fonds communs de placement, sept des provinces et de nombreux et divers autres intervenants du monde des affaires, du milieu des finances et des communaut\u00e9s des professionnels, des universitaires, des juristes et des syndicalistes, du secteur priv\u00e9 et du secteur public f\u00e9d\u00e9ral et provincial.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Yussuff a remerci\u00e9 la minorit\u00e9 de s\u00e9nateurs qui ont \u00e9cout\u00e9 les experts, ont maintenu leur position et se sont oppos\u00e9s au projet de loi.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00ab\u00a0Ce qui s\u2019est produit au S\u00e9nat nous donne une raison suppl\u00e9mentaire de travailler encore plus fort pour faire \u00e9lire un nouveau gouvernement cet automne, qui privil\u00e9gie l\u2019\u00e9conomie, l\u2019emploi et la sant\u00e9 au lieu des man\u0153uvres politiques\u00a0\u00bb, a indiqu\u00e9 M. Yussuff.<\/p>\n
