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

So I would like to ask the restaurant and food products people a question. Since 2007—that is three years ago now, quite

Health committee   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.

However, in Newfoundland and Labrador, the number of licences issued increased from 750 in 1992 to 3,400 in 2009. Were we

Government Spending  Mr. Speaker, this borrow-and-spend government is addicted to overpriced consultants. Last fall, the Conservatives hired Greg Gormick to write two press releases. He was paid $1,200 for one and $2,200 for the other. That is $3,400 for 1,300 words. It is also worth noting

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, I am getting up on a point of order to ask for unanimous consent with respect to a question I asked during question period. It pertained to consultants charging the government and taxpayers $3,400 for two press releases that contained about 1,300 words

Public Accounts committee  There are nearly 3,400 projects.

Public Accounts committee  Very well. Do those buildings cover all of Canada or a specific region? There must be some enormous buildings, given the ratio of 351 to 3,400.
