Health committee  Achieving this goal, as was mentioned earlier, would see the average intake in adults be reduced from the current value, estimated at 3,400 milligrams, to about 2,300 milligrams. This is again seen as a first step, and a longer-term goal will still aim to reduce the intakes to about 1,500 milligrams, which is the recommended intake.

Fisheries committee  However, in Newfoundland and Labrador, the number of licences issued increased from 750 in 1992 to 3,400 in 2009. Were we not inviting problems by allowing such discrepancies between the number of fishers, the number of boats and the quotas allotted? I'd like to hear your views on this subject.

Fisheries committee  The economic and social impact of DFO's unilateral decision on Listuguj, a community that has over 3,400 members and is growing rapidly, will be severe. Many fisher jobs will be lost, and families will find themselves in financial turmoil. The $1.7 million that our government uses to fund housing, health services, education, and language programming, among other public programs and services, will be lost.

Fisheries committee  It's the second-largest industry in Atlantic Canada after lobster, which is around $750 million. We have around 750 licences currently in the Maritimes and Quebec and 3,400 in Newfoundland and Labrador. We face difficulties in this fishery on two fronts. First are economic factors. The dollar is at par, we have high input costs for gas and bait, and we have a lot of competition from Alaska and Russia.

Health committee  I think it was in 2004 or 2006 when they started looking at shifting their sodium intake. They started at 3,800 and in 2008 they've just shifted it down to 3,400. They're not anywhere near 2,300 yet. So while yes, those are examples of countries that have taken leadership and action on reducing sodium, they've also through their experience demonstrated the significant challenges in doing it.

Health committee  But the target that the working group set was to reduce salt intake by about 1,000 to 1,200 milligrams by 2016. That is six years. They want to go from 3,400 milligrams to 2,300 milligrams in six years. Ms. Tanaka told us that it will take time before real changes in the manufacture of their products can be made. So I would like to ask the restaurant and food products people a question.

Health committee  Data from the Canadian community health survey that was conducted in 2004 indicated that on average, Canadians consumed more than 3,400 milligrams of sodium a day. The upper level of sodium is set at 2,300 milligrams. So you can see where we are. Over 90% of men and 66% of women exceed this upper level. But sodium isn't just a problem with adults.

Natural Resources committee  Here in Canada we've had similar kinds of growth curves over the past six years. We've had a tenfold increase in the number of megawatts installed. We now have about 3,400 megawatts in the ground, which provides electricity for about one million Canadian homes, and that satisfies pretty close to 2% of Canada's electricity demand. It's interesting to note that in the midst of the current global economic recession, in 2009 we saw record installation years in both Canada and the United States.

Canada-Jordan Free Trade Act  In Montreal, Hydro-Québec turned off the logo on its head office. Even the Canadian Parliament participated. In all, more than 3,400 cities in more than 125 countries took part in Earth Hour. Since we know how important the fight against climate change is to the Conservatives, we do not need to talk about the importance of rallying together to send a clear message to our representatives.

Human Resources committee  As a critical step to eradicating child poverty, we propose increasing the national child benefit to $5,000 by 2012 from the current level of $3,400. The working income tax benefit, which supplements earnings for those with very low incomes, is another tax measure that holds great promise by making work pay. We recommend increasing this benefit so that no recipient would fall below the poverty line.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  In the 2003 election in Ontario 2,600 ballots were decli ned. In the 2007 election there were 3,400 and in the referendum, 21,000. In unmarked ballots, in 2003 in Ontario there were 7,000. In 2007 there were 10,000. In the referendum, there were 111,000. I thank you for your time here today, Mr.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Iqaluit has a population of about 7,000. In 1990 we were roughly 3,400. That's a great question, because we have a lot of challenges. I have a picture here of Frobisher Bay. In 1955 there were 67 people here, so we've developed....

Criminal Code  That statement is based on the ridiculous assumption that all crimes are solved and that all criminals are caught. Yet, we know there have been 3,400 unsolved murders in Canada since 1961. Over 500 native women have vanished in the last 30 years. Clifford Olson was convicted for killing 11 children. Tragically, we have serial killers in Canada.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Our total capital employed in the north is approaching $300 million, and our employment base in the north is 3,400 people. In addition to this direct local investment and local employment, we spend approximately $75 million a year on local services, including local freight. While size has its advantages, for us, the success of our enterprise depends on community partnerships.

Information & Ethics committee  With respect to the website, there are about 3,400 hits a month. In the scheme of things, that didn't seem like a lot. You're right, it's hard to measure success. But is there anything that you intend to change? I agree that some uses of Facebook could come back to haunt some young people in the future.
