Business Of Supply   will be an active participant. We do not wish to rush in with hastily drafted laws, with a scatter-gun approach, so that when the smoke has cleared something would not measure up. These are crucial issues. They need to be carefully addressed, closely studied by Parliament and properly debated

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I had an opportunity to meet with representatives of the band who obviously are very concerned about the negligence shown by Abitibi-Price in this particular case. Subsection 36(2) of the pulp and paper regulations makes it very clear that when there is a spill

Goods And Services Tax  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to hear it. This is the first time I have received such a clear, direct answer. The Prime Minister has stated very clearly that the new GST will not apply to health care and medication. Is he also prepared to say that the new GST will not apply to food

Supply  . The Reform Party is actually blaming the government for five centuries of Western jurisprudence. This may enhance their prestige with people who listen uncritically to what they have to say, but it is a clear demonstration of ignorance taken to rhetorical heights. The presumption

Supply   with the justice system for 27 years without avail. I am sure that this man would find the comments of the hon. member quite hard to understand and accept. The weaknesses of the Young Offenders Act have been emerging over the last number of years and are clear to all who want to examine it. We

I want to be clear: I am not trying to minimize the problem of violence among young people, which is unfortunately worrisome. As a concerned citizen, I know how acts

Supply  Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to the hon. member's speech, I appreciated his carefully prepared arguments, and I think he gave a very clear analysis of the situation. Certainly, individuals who commit violent crimes against women make us hate both the nature

Saint Lawrence Seaway   and the amount of business. This common sense approach to business is more practical and economical than launching a major effort to provide a longer winter navigational season. There would be considerable extra cost and it is by no means clear that a sufficient amount of extra traffic would

Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would like to make a brief comment on the hon. member's answer to the last question. It was clear that there were no offers made to purchase Ginn from these three Canadian companies. What she told us was that they may have expressed an interest in that which

Supply  The problem with my hon. colleague's question, Mr. Speaker, is that it makes reference to several questions we have asked in this House, to which contradictory answers were given. We have never been able to get a clear answer from this government. They duck questions, claiming

Supply   that the takeover of an existing company under Canadian control by a non-Canadian will not be authorized. This is as clear as can be. Why does the Liberal government violate so wilfully this policy by rejecting all the offers and requests for information it has received regarding this issue

Supply   investment policy is concerned we are more than willing to sit down with the publishers and discuss what improvements could be made to the guidelines. I would like to make this as clear as possible: This government strongly believes in the economic growth of the Canadian-owned publishing

Supply   of a $1.2 billion market. During this same period, 80 per cent of Canadian authors had their works published by Canadian book publishers. The imbalance between the two is clear. Canadian publishers are far more likely than foreign controlled publishing houses to publish the works

Court Of Queen's Bench In Saskatchewan  Mr. Speaker, without engaging in a numbers game let me simply make clear to the hon. member and to the House the commitment which the minister of agriculture from Saskatchewan and I have. We are committed to ensuring that not only in that province but across the country we have

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, Canada is a very good and very stable country. We have had a good budget presented and we have a plan that is very clear. The market can speculate all it wants. However we are not changing the policies of the government on speculation in the market from one day
