Violence Against Women Mr. Speaker, I think it is very clear that in Sally's letter she has outlined a number of situations of institutional abuse. It is very difficult when women are placed in this situation and they go to those people they feel should be protecting them, for example the police

Employment Equity Mr. Speaker, as the hon. member knows that was a clear commitment we made during the last election campaign, that we would reform the employment equity programs. I would remind hon. members we have over 170 members to prove just how many Canadians supported that mandate

Employment Equity a very good regime. We want to ensure in the legislation that there is clear parity and balance between the rules that apply in the private sector and the public sector. This is something that was asked for by the public servants of Canada.

Province Of Quebec Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate that the leader of the Reform Party is playing Jacques Parizeau's game. We do not intend to play that game. We intend to ask the people of Quebec a very clear question: Do you want to stay with Canada or do you want to separate

Violence Against Women Mr. Speaker, frankly, today I do not feel like debating who does more for women-the provinces or the federal government. I think it is clear that all parties must do much more, especially for family welfare. Clearly, throughout Canada, a family's welfare depends on the woman

Violence Against Women Madam Speaker, can I be perfectly clear in asking the member, would she then say that she does not support nor does the Reform Party support any funding for transition homes through the Canada assistance plan?

Violence Against Women the means to make a distinction between serious violent crimes and less serious non-violent crimes.

Canadian Environmental Assessment Act . It is inconsistent and illogical to advocate these two things at the same time, that is, an independent agency whose recommendations will be submitted to a higher authority.

Government Spending Mr. Speaker, that is exactly the answer I expected the minister to give. I think it is about time that we get down to some specifics rather than these generalizations. It has been very clear that Canadian business has said the best way for government to create a competitive

Canada Grain Act . There have been a lot of allegations of political interference particularly in the Klemmer case.
