"In a dark, dark, room
Lived a dark, dark, bill
From a dark, dark, man
On a dark, dark Hill.

"In the valley below:
A proud-but-struggling town,
Where folks hoped for better
This time around.

"Job losses! Service cuts!
The people had their fill,
Until one brave trick-or-treater
Trekked up that looming Hill..."
-Tom Mulcair and the NDP, monsterbill.ca

tephen Harper has introduced not one but two 400-page omnibus bills under the guise of implementing his 2012 budget.

But here’s the truth: Bills C-38 and C-45 also implement dozens of farther-reaching measures that transform Canadian life for the worse, including:

• gutting environmental protection laws;
• cutting $36-billion from health care funding;
• making you work two years longer to receive OAS;
• making it even harder to qualify for EI benefits;
• weakening Canadian food inspection;
• reducing support for job-creating innovation; and
• shrinking independent oversight of government.

These bills were too massive to be properly studied or debated. That’s by design. The Conservatives are purposefully ducking their democratic accountability to Canadians. This is simply unacceptable.

It’s time to stop these undemocratic monster bills—once and for all.
