Ending the Long-Gun Registry Act  Mr. Speaker, that is consistent with what I was saying earlier, and I also appreciate the fact that we are able to have this type of discussion. Indeed, some people came to committee and said such things. The police officers were very clear. Those I spoke to later on, in order

Government Operations committee  Just to be clear, we still have our nine clusters. Once the clusters were formed after 1998, basically most of the IT support stayed in one of those nine clusters. They had infrastructure and they had business solutions, the actual development of applications and support

Human Resources committee   in pre-trial facilities. The third point is connected with the legitimacy of civil penalties on top of criminal convictions. If those friendly amendments were made, it would make it very clear that the disentitlement was not directed at those who are simply incapable of working due

Fisheries committee   internationally about the economics of closed-containment systems. We'll come back to that later. Certainly the challenges relate to, in our view, the economic viability of closed containment. It seems to be clear and compelling that in the two major international salmon aquaculture

Ending the Long-Gun Registry Act  —everyone has complained, and not just a little. People were not complaining about the registry per se, but rather about how much it costs and how poorly designed it was in the first place. The reason for the creation of the registry was clear. Perhaps this is not repeated frequently

Petitions   that increasing stresses in our society have taken a toll on Canadians. As the Kirby report made it clear, more attention is needed to address this painful issue, especially for those who face higher risk, like youth, isolated seniors, first nations and people in remote communities. My

Václav Havel   in freedom in the west. It happened because the system was simply unsustainable economically, but more and more it became clear to people that it was unsustainable from a moral perspective. There is no other person who has demonstrated better than Havel that communism was, first

Service Canada   will waste $1.27 million until the lease expires in 2018. Given that there is a backlog of more than 80,000 employment insurance claims in Quebec, would it not be smarter to keep the office in Rimouski open to address the clear lack of resources?

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, as I said, the killing must stop now and President Assad must go. That is a clear message from the Government of Canada. I would tell the member opposite that, yes, the Prime Minister will be discussing a whole lot of foreign affairs issues with his Chinese hosts

Public Safety   illegally. We have sent a clear message that if an individual is a threat to the security of law-abiding Canadians, that person is not welcome. Could the minister please give the House an update on this program?

Public Safety   has been removed from Canada for being a security risk. Canada will not be a safe haven for foreign criminals. If individuals insist on breaking our laws, our message is clear: we will send them back from where they came.

Pensions  Mr. Speaker, once again, during an interview this past weekend, the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development could not explain the changes this government plans to make to old age security to the many worried Canadians. What is now very clear is that the Conservatives

Pensions  Mr. Speaker, let us be clear. At present, for every pensioner there are four people in the work force. In the future, there will be only two people in the work force for each pensioner. The old age security system cannot sustain this. That is why we must act now. That is what we

Defence Construction Canada  Mr. Speaker, I want to get a clear answer. If I am hearing the minister correctly, is she agreeing that the document that was tabled by the union, the full report, will be referred to the Auditor General with a request by the government that he look into this matter to get

Justice  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has been very clear: the government will not reopen this debate.
