PrimeTime Politics Weekend
May 4, 2012
This week, join Martin Stringer and his journalists guests: Bill Curry, reporter for The Globe & Mail, and Stephanie Levitz, reporter with The Canadian Press. They'll discuss: 1. The Harper Majority Government - One Year Later: - What have Stephen Harper & his Conservative government achieved after their first year in power? - What were the promises? What were the surprises? - What about unfinished work? 2. The Budget Implementation Act: Many of the Prime Minister's promised "transformational changes" are contained in the 420-page Budget Implementation Act (BillC-38) tabled last week. But the opposition parties say the government is being undemocratic by including sweeping changes to environmental laws, employment insurance, immigration policy, and more, in a single budget bill. -We look at the controversy over the bill. 3. And the Opposition Parties? A look at the fortunes of the NDP and the Liberals, after one year of Harper government. Also, Martin speaks with a panel of MPs from the different parties about this week's events in federal politics.
