Military Contribution Against ISIL  Mr. Speaker, that is a good question. What we are debating in the House is a motion to go either one way and start bombing attacks or to change that part and say we will transport weapons to those who need them. If the government motion passes today, it will put in regulations.

Military Contribution Against ISIL  Mr. Speaker, I am very happy to share this time with my hon. colleague, the member for Skeena—Bulkley Valley. As the Leader of the Opposition stated in this House: There is no more important decision that we make in the House, no more sacred trust for a Prime Minister, than sending young Canadian women and men to fight and risk making the ultimate sacrifice in a foreign war.

Agriculture committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Two questions in one day is not too bad. Thank you so much for being here, folks. We've been reassured by the minister that there's no concern with regard to saving seed. There has been some discussion, and I'm not quite clear on this in my own mind, between saving and stocking.

Agriculture committee  Now stocking and storing are synonymous things for the purposes of this bill.

Agriculture committee  Thank you. My second question obviously reflects other concerns. I know some have been addressed, but I'd like your take on this. We talked about the differences between 78 and 91. You brought out some positive aspects of UPOV 91. There are some concerns. The National Farmers Union has some; others have some.

Agriculture committee  Does the breeder have the right to charge royalties as well? Obviously, he does.

Alex AtamanenkoNDP

Agriculture committee  Thanks, Minister. You talked about the farmer's ability to save seed. I'm still not clear, so I'd just like some clarification. For example, when storing the saved seed, does the farmer need the permission of the holder of the plant breeders' rights?

Agriculture committee  Would this bill also empower the government to remove, restrict, or limit the farmer's seed-saving privilege by passing regulations, something that can happen quickly and without public debate? I think this is one concern that some people have.

Agriculture committee  It's just like old times, Minister. It's good to see you here.

October 7th, 2014Committee meeting

Alex AtamanenkoNDP

Agriculture committee  Thanks for being here. Many have a concern about this bill. Certainly, as you're aware, the National Farmers Union is one of them. They've done extensive research and have flagged certain areas. I'd like you to comment on some of their concerns, because obviously, all of us here want to ensure that the interests of farmers prevail when we introduce legislation.

Agriculture committee  I will be holding each of you as close to that five minutes as I can. I want to welcome everyone, and the return of Alex Atamanenko. Thank you, Alex, for sitting in on the committee today. In the first round, Madame Brosseau, for five minutes, please.

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions. The first one is from the citizens of the Langley area of British Columbia who believe the current impaired driving laws are too lenient. They would like the Criminal Code to be changed to redefine the offence of impaired driving causing death to vehicular manslaughter.
