Mr. Ignatieff encouraged the Prime Minister to implement the following initiatives:
*Job creation proposals to support manufacturers and young Canadians, and to encourage investment in start-up companies;
*Increase investments in clean energy and energy efficiency;
*Adopt a made-in-Canada climate change plan, including a binding and verifiable cap-and-trade system with hard caps, absolute reductions, and fairness to all industries and regions;
*Reform pensions to help Canadians save more and protect Canadians whose pension income is threatened by employer bankruptcy;
*Strengthen oversight of our independent watchdog agencies;
*Reaffirm the principle of equal pay for work of equal value as a non-negotiable right;
*Call an investigation into the national shame of missing and murdered Aboriginal women;
*Increase supports for Canadian veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder;
*Develop a National Neurological Strategy to address Alzheimer’s and dementia;
*Reaffirm Canada’s traditional support for a woman’s right to access contraception and reproductive health services as part of the maternal health initiative;
*Protect victims of white collar crime with measures like mandatory restitution and tax relief;
*Pursue proven crime-prevention solutions that reduce crime, prevent victimization and enhance community safety; and
*Provide the public with transparency over the government’s role in the transfer of Afghan detainees by reconstituting and ending Conservative boycotts of Parliament’s *Afghanistan committee, and respect the will of Parliament by handing over unredacted documents in a manner that protects legitimate claims of national security.
And can we expect an election, Mr Ignatieff, if the PM decides to ignore your priorities?
