PARLIAMENT UPDATE– WEEK OF MARCH 6, 2017

Submitted by Jim Eglins-ki, MP – Yellowhead

This week in Parliament, we discussed topics including nation-al security, genetically modified food, taxation, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

The following was debated in the House:

• Bill C-22 – An Act to establish the National Security and Intelli-gence Committee of Parliamen-tarians and to make consequential amendments to certain Acts (Re-port Stage)

• Bill C-23 – An Act respecting the preclearance of persons and goods in Canada and the United States (Second Reading)

• Bill C-203 – An Act to amend the Supreme Court Act (under-standing the official languages) (Second Reading)

• Bill C-211 – Federal Frame-work on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (Second Reading)

• Bill C-291 – An Act to amend the Food and Drugs Act (genet-ically modified food) (Second Reading)

• Bill C-323 – An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (rehabilita-tion of historic property) (Second Reading)

• Bill S-201 – Genetic Non-Dis-crimination Act (Report Stage)

• NDP Motion – Tax Fairness • Conservative Motion – Cana-

dian Forces Tax BenefitsLast week, I spoke on Bill

C-23 but was cut short on time. Therefore, I had the opportunity to continue my thoughts on Mon-day. Also on Monday, I took part in debate on Bill C-211. You can read my comments on the corre-sponding day’s Hansard at: http://www.parl.gc.ca/HouseChamber-Business/ChamberHome.aspx

I am pleased that Bill C-211 passed Second Reading and is now before the Standing Com-mittee on Health. I am also very

pleased that Bill S-217 passed Third Reading with unanimous support by all parties except for the Liberals, who were divided on the vote. The bill compels pros-ecutors and judges to take into consideration a criminal’s past record, prior to granting bail. This comes after the tragic shooting of Constable Wynn on January 17, 2015, in St. Alberta, Alberta.

In the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable De-velopment (ENVI), we continued our review of The Canadian En-vironmental Protection Act, 1999, as well as discussed federal pro-tected areas and conservation ob-jectives. For more information on these meetings, visit: www.parl.gc.ca/Committees/en/ENVI

This week, I attended¬ 10 meet-ings, two events, and recorded a radio message. My next update will be on my travels throughout the riding as Parliament will not be sitting.

LEDUC RCMP LAY FURTHER CHARGES IN LEDUC COUNTY HOME INVASION

LEDUC RCMP SEEKING ASSISTANCE WITH BREAK

AND ENTER INVESTIGATION


Update #3On October 9, 2016 a home in-

vasion occurred in Leduc County. The Leduc RCMP General Inves-tigation Section (GIS) maintained carriage of this investigation.

Konrad Chittick was identified as one of the suspects and on Decem-ber 20, 2016 he was charged with

19 criminal code charges. A war-rant for his arrest was issued and he was arrested in Edmonton by Edmonton Police Service on Janu-ary 7, 2017.

He remains in custody and is awaiting a preliminary trial in Oc-tober, 2017.

Continued investigation led to the identification of two more sus-pects. On March 14, 2017 40-year-

old Kristopher Rowe, of Edmon-ton, was arrested in Edmonton.

On March 15, 23-year-old Ash-ley Sampson, of Edmonton, was arrested in Edmonton.

Both subjects also remain in cus-tody and face the same 19 criminal code charges as Chittick, including Robbery with a firearm, break and enter, pointing a firearm, aggravat-ed assault, possession of a prohib-

ited weapon and forcible confine-ment. They are both scheduled for their first court appearance on March 23 in the Provincial Court of Alberta in Leduc.

“We are pleased with the prog-ress we have made to identify these three individuals who are now be-fore the Court.” says Corporal Le-anne MacMillan with the GIS Unit in Leduc.


On Tuesday, March 21, 2017, at about 3:50AM, a lone suspect forced his way into the Co-op Gas Bar located at 4613 50 Av-enue, Calmar, Alberta. The sus-pect is described as being fair skinned, wearing a grey hoodie, black jacket, black gloves, and

blue jeans. The suspect fled the scene in a dark color Dodge pickup truck. Damages and loss to the business were minimal.

The Leduc RCMP are asking that anyone who recognizes the suspect or the vehicle contact the Leduc RCMP at 780-980-7200, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHENPLANNING A HOME OFFICE

As technology has made working remotely easier, more and more pro-fessionals are working from home. Working from home can help work-ing parents save money on childcare costs and help all workers avoid rush hour traffic jams and the costs of commuting to and from the office.

The right working environment is essential for men and women who work from home. An environment that’s conducive to work can help people increase their productivity and make their employers more likely to allow more employees to work from home. Professionals who are new to working from home may find it takes some time before they can create the perfect working environment, but the following are a few factors to consid-er when planning a home office.

SpaceOne of the disadvantages to work-

ing from home is that remote workers don’t have access to the same level of equipment as in the main office, such as color copiers or scanners. If you want to include even scaled-down versions of such equipment in your office, you will need ample space. In addition, less spacious home of-fices can feel too tight and enclosed, making workers uncomfortable and less enthusiastic about working ev-ery day. Pick a spot in your home that affords room for your equipment and the ability to move around so you don’t feel cramped throughout the workday.

LightingLighting is another factor remote

workers must consider when they’re planning their home offices. Natural light can provide an energetic boost and improve your mood, so choose a room in your home that gets lots of

sunlight during the day. Many pro-fessionals who work remotely do so from the basements of their homes, which can make it difficult to rely on natural light. If the basement is the only location in your home that can fit a home office, look for light-ing sources that replicate daylight so you are not working in dark quarters. Speak with your physician about how to arrange lighting to reduce eyestrain caused by staring at a computer.

ConnectivityConnectivity also must be consid-

ered when planning a home office. While wireless Internet has made Internet dead zones less problematic, certain areas or rooms in your home may still be touch-and-go with regard to Internet connectivity. Such areas should be avoided when choosing a room for your home office, as it can be difficult to remain productive

if your connection to your office’s external server is routinely compro-mised. Find an area where the wire-less connection is always strong.

DistractionsWhile your home might be empty

for much of the day, you don’t want to be distracted when the kids come home from school or when your spouse or roommate arrives home from work. Avoid putting your home office too close to popular hangout ar-eas in your home, such as the kitchen and the living room. Instead, choose a room where you have lots of privacy so you can focus on your work and won’t be routinely interrupted.

Working from home can pay nu-merous dividends, but profession-als who telework must put careful thought into the rooms or areas of their homes where they plan to work.

ADD CURB APPEAL TO YOUR PROPERTY Many people are familiar with

the idea that a strong first impres-sion can go a long way. While that idea is most often referenced in regard to personal interactions, it’s also applicable to real estate.

When selling a home, home-owners who emphasize curb ap-peal may find it far easier to sell their homes. Curb appeal refers to the impression a home’s exterior makes on people seeing the home for the first time. In 2014, the on-line real estate database Zillow® surveyed real estate agents and found that curb appeal was one of the five most important factors when selling a home.

Projects that improve curb ap-peal can be vast undertakings or simpler projects, and the follow-ing are a handful of projects to improve a home’s curb appeal that run the gamut from simple to complex.

· Clean up the yard. Cleaning

up the yard is among the simpler yet most effective projects to im-prove a home’s curb appeal. When selling their homes, homeowners should clear the yard of any clut-ter, including kids’ toys, grass clippings or items that might be scattered throughout the yard. A cluttered yard suggests homeown-ers do not care much about their home’s appearance, and that may lead buyers to think that indiffer-ence extended to maintaining the home’s interior as well. Many buyers will ignore properties with-out any external aesthetic appeal, but cleaning up the yard does not require much effort or expense on the part of sellers.

· Make the main entryway more inviting. Creating a more inviting entryway won’t be as simple as cleaning up the yard, but it can help create a strong first impres-sion without breaking the bank. To begin, remove plants and fur-

niture from the front porch or area surrounding the doorway, as such items can create a cluttered feel. If the front door is old, replace it. Custom doors may be expensive, but they might add the wow fac-tor buyers are looking for. If a new door is beyond your means or just unnecessary, repaint the door, ide-ally in a color that complements the color of your home and the surrounding landscape.

· Address pavement problems. Paving problems are not necessar-ily an expensive fix, but the cost of repairing driveways and walkways can add up if it’s been awhile since these areas were refurbished. Still, one of the first things buyers will notice when getting out of their cars is the ground they’re walking on, so patch and repair or even replace driveways and walkways that have fallen into disrepair.

· Add or upgrade outdoor living spaces. Outdoor living spaces also

can set a property apart from oth-ers on the market. A recent study from the National Association of Realtors found that buyers would not hesitate to pay asking price for homes with outdoor living spaces. When adding or upgrading outdoor living spaces, try to de-personalize the spaces as much as possible, as buyers want to picture themselves, and not the sellers, en-joying these areas. Include some comfortable furniture, adequate lighting and a dining area in your outdoor living space as well.

Curb appeal can add a lot to a home, while lack of such appeal can make a home difficult to sell. Homeowners who want to sell their properties for asking price or more should address curb appeal before putting their homes on the market.

THE PROBLEM WITH HARD WATER Hard water can cause scaling,

deposits inside of pipes, reduced cleaning ability, and several other problems.

Home ownership opens people’s eyes to many new experiences, even requiring homeowners to familiarize themselves with certain things they never encountered as renters. Home-owners become novice plumbers, electricians, horticulturists, and even chemists as they wade through the projects and repairs involved with owning a home.

Outside of high school chemistry class, you may never have given thought to water composition and how it changes. However, once you become a homeowner, you may have to pay special attention to the type of water bubbling out of your faucets. Hard water is a common concern, and it can affect appliances and other parts of the home.

What is hard water?Hard water affects about 85 per-

cent of the United States, according to the Water Quality Association. Although not harmful to human health, hard water can impact one’s daily life in other ways.

Hard water is formed when wa-ter moves through soil and rock. It dissolves very small amounts of minerals and holds them in a solu-tion. Calcium and magnesium are the most common minerals to turn water “hard.” The more magnesium and calcium water dissolves, the harder it becomes.

From nuisance to damagingHard water can not only be a minor

headache, but also something more serious. Hard water can interfere with various cleaning tasks and also personal grooming. Clothes washed in hard water may not be fully clean and may appear dingy. Hard water can cause a film on surfaces, such as bath tiles and tubs. Some people find that their hair and skin can appear dull and sticky due to hard water.

Hard water can have other ef-fects, too. Over time, the water can deposit minerals on the inside of pipes, reducing water flow. If these deposits grow thick, you may have a plumbing issue on your hands. Fur-thermore, mineral deposits can harm appliances, such as water heaters, washing machines and dishwashers. Eventually, hard water may render these appliances ineffective, and they will need to be replaced.

Treatment optionsConsidering hard water is such a

common concern, a number of treat-ment options exist. The main types of water-softening systems use ei-ther a packaged water softener or a mechanical water-softening unit.

Packaged water softeners are chemicals that bond with the cal-cium and magnesium ions in the water so that they cannot interfere with cleaning efficiency. These chemicals fall into two categories: precipitating and nonprecipitating.

Precipitating softeners are borax and washing soda and can affect pH levels of water and make water cloudy. Nonprecipitating softeners use phosphates. Alkalinity won’t be increased, and usually there is no cloudiness or buildup. These prod-ucts are typically added to laundry loads and the like and are not recom-mended for drinking water.

Mechanical water-softening sys-tems are hooked up directly to the plumbing of the house. They are ion-exchange systems that will add salt to the water. Although it can be safe to drink, softened water may not be recommended for those who are on low-sodium diets.

Hard water is a problem many homeowners have to face. It can affect a home’s appliances’ perfor-mance and cleaning abilities. Water hardness can be managed, and it is best to consult with an expert wa-ter-softening system manufacturer about your options.

SUSTAINABLE FLOORING OPTIONS ABOUND Kitchen and bathroom remodeling

projects tend to make great invest-ments, earning homeowners signif-icant returns when they sell their homes down the road. But flooring upgrades are another home renova-tion project that can attract attention and help sellers when they put their homes on the market.

Home flooring options abound, and it is easy to get excited and overwhelmed about flooring reno-vation projects. When choosing new flooring materials, homeowners should keep in mind the latest con-sumer trends, as those trends might help them recoup more of their flooring investment down the road.

One popular flooring trend is the use of sustainable materials. In addi-tion to the more widely known bene-fits of choosing sustainable flooring, such as protecting natural resources and reducing a home’s carbon foot-print, sustainable flooring can help

reduce indoor air pollution. Various studies from the U.S. Environmen-tal Protection Agency have shown that indoor air pollutant levels may be higher indoors than outdoors. A major contributor to indoor air pol-lution are the volatile organic com-pounds, or VOCs, being off-gassed by carpeting and other flooring in a home.

Flooring manufacturers and de-signers are embracing the green design and remodeling movement. Today there are many beautiful and sustainable eco-flooring options. Here are some of the more popular materials.

· Bamboo: Contrary to popular belief, bamboo is not a wood, but a grass. It is a fast-growing grass, and that makes it a smart choice in many design applications. Also, un-like wood, which will absorb mois-ture and can warp, bamboo repels water and can be used for flooring

in areas where one wouldn’t think to put wood, such as in bathrooms, entryways or mudrooms. Bamboo is naturally very light in color, but can be stained in many different hues to give homeowners more options.

· Green carpeting: Consumers can now find a wide range of sus-tainable carpets and rugs that are available at competitive prices. Wool carpets made with undyed or vegetable-dyed yarns and minimal glues are some options. Some car-pets are even made from recycled content, such as rubber and plastics. Water-based, low-VOC adhesives paired with recycled cotton padding can reduce the toxicity and impact of carpeting even further.

· Cork: Growing in popularity, cork is a material harvested from the bark of cork trees found in the for-ests of the Mediterranean. The bark grows back every three years, so it is a handy renewable resource. Cork

boasts fire-retardant properties and may naturally repel insects. It can usually be stained to suit various color schemes.

· Rubber: Rubber flooring may call to mind fitness gyms and play-ground safety substrate, but it’s also slowly finding its way into homes. Made from recycled tires, rubber flooring is flexible underfoot and can be long-lasting and colorful.

· Reclaimed wood: Rather than purchasing brand new hardwood planks for flooring, homeowners can opt for reclaimed wood reused from other building applications. After some sanding, staining and finishing, reclaimed wood provides homeowners with the opportuni-ty to choose traditional hardwood flooring without any concerns about deforestation.

Eco-friendly flooring materials continue to evolve and can be smart choices in today’s homes.
