The Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity Act (informally referred to as Bill C-38) is an Act of the Parliament of Canada. This omnibus bill was introduced by Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance under Prime Minister Steven Harper's majority Conservative government as a 2012 Budget Implementation Act. Bill C-38 was given Royal Assent on June 29, 2012. Bill C-38 and Bill C-45 attracted controversy both for their size (c. 450 pages each) and for the breadth of provisions contained that were not fiscally related. Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party, claimed (Levitz June 2012) that, "()n spite of the fact that most Canadians have no idea how seriously Bill C-38 will affect their lives, the Senate is about to begin hearings so that Conservative Senators can vote on it as soon as possible... This railroading version of democracy is tragic for Canada." ==Content of Bill== Part 1 of this enactment "implements certain income tax measures and related measures proposed in the March 29, 2012 budget." Other sections of C-38 amend the *Income Tax Act *Excise Tax Act *Environmental Violations Administrative Monetary Penalties Act *National Energy Board Act *Canada Oil and Gas Operations Act *Nuclear Safety and Control Act *Fisheries Act *Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999 *Species at Risk Act *Trust and Loan Companies Act *Bank Act *Cooperative Credit Associations Act *Northwest Territories Act *Nunavut Act *Yukon Act *Financial Administration Act *Department of Human Resources and Skills Development Act *Department of Human Resources and Skills Development Act *Parks Canada Agency Act *Trust and Loan Companies Act *Insurance Companies Act *National Housing Act *Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation Act *Supporting Vulnerable Seniors and Strengthening Canada’s Economy Act *National Housing Act *Bretton Woods and Related Agreements Act *Canada Health Act *Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act *Currency Act *Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act *Fisheries Act *Food and Drugs Act *Government Employees Compensation Act *International Development Research Centre Act *Canada Labour Code *Environmental Violations Administrative Monetary Penalties Act *Old Age Security Act *Seeds Act *Statutory Instruments Act *Investment Canada Act *Customs Act *Railway Safety Act *Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act *Health of Animals Act *Canada School of Public Service Act *Corrections and Conditional Release Act *Coasting Trade Act *Status of the Artist Act *National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy Act *Telecommunications Act *Employment Equity Act *Employment Insurance Act *Customs Tariff *Canada Marine Act *First Nations Land Management Act *Canada Travelling Exhibitions Indemnification Act *Canadian Air Transport Security Authority Act *First Nations Fiscal and Statistical Management Act *Canadian Forces Members and Veterans Re-establishment and Compensation Act *Department of Human Resources and Skills Development Act, to add powers, duties and functions that are substantially the same as those conferred by the Department of Social Development Act *Wage Earner Protection Program Act *Immigration and Refugee Protection Act *Budget Implementation Act 2008 *Shared Services Canada Act *Assisted Human Reproduction Act C-38 dissolves the Public Appointments Commission and its secretariat and dissolves the Canadian Artists and Producers Professional Relations Tribunal and transfer its powers and duties to the Canada Industrial Relations Board. C-38 implements the Framework Agreement on Integrated Cross-Border Maritime Law Enforcement Operations between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America signed on May 26, 2009. C-38 repeals the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, Fair Wages and Hours of Labour Act; the International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic Development Act and authorizes the closing out of the affairs of the Centre established by that Act; repeals provisions related to the First Nations Statistical Institute and amends that Act and other Acts to remove any reference to that Institute. It authorizes the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development to close out the Institute’s affairs; repeals the Department of Social Development Act and, in doing so, eliminates the National Council of Welfare; repeals the Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act. C-38 eliminates the requirement for the Auditor General of Canada to undertake annual financial audits of certain entities and to assess the performance reports of two agencies. This Division also eliminates other related obligations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity Act」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
