Prince Albert MP Randy Hoback is expressing disappointment that his private members’ bill that would have established a home security system tax credit was defeated.
The bill was defeated during its second reading on Wednesday. It was supported by 117 members of the Conservative party as well as Independent Derek Sloan, but defeated when the Liberals, NDP, Bloc Quebecois and Green Party voted against it.
“I would like to publicly thank my Conservative Party colleagues for supporting my Private Members Bill to make home security more affordable for Canadians. I tabled this Bill in response to calls for action by property owners in our constituency plagued by recurring thefts and break-ins,” Hoback said in a written statement.
Our stuttering BBI experiment might have better focused on aligning and strengthening our public finance framework with the constitution, than seeking to amend it.
