Bill C-11 committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to congratulate Ms. Drouin on her clear presentation. From the outset, I think it sets the record straight on a number of questions. In fact, I was surprised at the rapid increase in mechanical royalties in recent years. You have said

Justice committee  Okay, that's clear. You said something important. Since the beginning, I have been worrying about the citizen’s arrest. That has to do with the security of the person. I would not recommend a citizen's arrest. People don’t have the training or the skills required for it. It can

That amount is not going to increase or double again in eight years. That is why there is the impression that it has increased. I would like to say one final thing

The subsection that was added in the new legislation suggests the possibility of a proportionality requirement in such cases. It doesn't seem quite clear, but there is a concern

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you very much. We have to do that. Under the act, in two stages, the definition of a designated public officer-holder was made clear. In the initial amendments that came into force in 2006, there were about 11 specific categories of individuals who filled positions. I can

Bill C-11 committee  To come back to your question, it is clear that, to us, the best option was to uphold the expansion of the private copying regime. You say that people do not support that idea, but certainly if you ask someone to pay a fee they did not have to pay before, they are going

One of the things that did come up during the consultation process was the confusion between the Conflict of Interest Act and the Lobbying Act. They definitely are two

Information & Ethics committee  If I might just elaborate a little bit on the point the parliamentary secretary and Janice made clear about having different orientations, for the most part, the Lobbying Act orients itself towards lobbyists. The Conflict of Interest Act, however, orients itself towards public

Information & Ethics committee  The work the committee has been doing—I think you've had seven meetings, 14 hours worth of meetings—is very significant. This is the five-year review, and the purpose of this review is to make sure that the act is working and that it is clear to those people who are affected

Bill C-11 committee   of music development. So I think we need to be clear: we're not talking about you having to pay an unfair fee that's being shipped off to some Cayman Island bank account. This is money that's going right back into our music system. Mr. Glick, I wanted to ask you a few questions. We're

Justice committee   with these each in turn. Bill C-26, in my opinion, will rarely help small store owners like David Chen. Instead, it will almost exclusively benefit the private security industry. With respect to the beneficiaries of these proposed changes, I want to make it clear to the committee

Canada-Jordan Economic Growth and Prosperity Act   in this regard are not clear. It is simply indicated that neither of the two countries has the right to suppress the basic environmental rules.

Given these considerations, and in the absence of any clear indication that defence decision-makers will cut regular force
