Published Tuesday, April 20, 2021 5:36AM EDT OTTAWA Opposition parties will get a chance today to propose a rewrite to the federal government s massive pandemic budget. Debate on Monday s budget begins today in the House of Commons. As the official Opposition, the Conservatives will propose an amendment to the budget and the Bloc Quebecois, as the third-largest party, will propose a sub-amendment. Both intend to use the opportunity to fashion an economic blueprint more to their liking. Conservative Leader Erin O Toole has signalled that his party will propose its own economic recovery plan, while Bloc Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet has indicated that his party will attempt to redress what it sees as two “unacceptable omissions” in the budget: the failure to accede to premiers demand for an additional $28 billion each year in health-care transfer payments and the failure to provide increased old age security benefits for all seniors.
