Social Assistance  Mr. Speaker, what I can confirm is that yesterday we had a very co-operative, collaborative discussion with all the ministers from the provinces. We agreed to undertake a major review and re-examination of a number of programs that affect Canadians. That was a clear

Tainted Blood   to clear up this whole scandal?

Organized Crime  Mr. Speaker, given the statements made yesterday by the former Quebec Minister of Public Security, it is clear that the only person in Canada not to know that the RCMP and the Sûreté will not take action on Mohawk land is the Solicitor General of Canada. Both he and the Prime

The Economy  . The message from the people of Canada is clear. Cut out entire segments of government and grants to special interest groups rather than raise taxes or permit a major decline in the Canadian dollar.

Prince Edward Island Fixed Link  Mr. Speaker, the answer is no, the project must not be stopped, it must go forward. I think that our stand is clear on that. On the other hand, if the project has no impact on local lobster and scallop fishermen, why did the government feel the need to compensate them

Prince Edward Island Fixed Link   to be cleared across the strait where construction will go on and the fishermen of other communities away from Cape Tormentine, like Murray Corner, Aboiteau, Cap-Pelé, Shediac and up the Northumberland Strait to Cocagne, Buctouche and even as far as our area could feel the effects from

Prince Edward Island Fixed Link   make sense and there is an element of fairness added to the Canadian federation as it exists today. If we look at the economics, it is clear a bridge will increase economic activity on the Island, that tourism will increase, and by the way, I did not wait for the minister's cordial

Criminal Code  . The situation is that we have consulted with police officers in this regard. They feel that this provision in the Criminal Code should be changed. We also say that any doubt whatsoever is going to be given to the police officer. This is very clear in the provision as it relates

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member. I hold him in high regard and appreciate the sincerity of his comments. To answer specifically from my point of view, the limits are quite clear. Referring to the events in Montreal and Toronto as I recall them the people

Criminal Code  , it would be difficult for me to appreciate the consequences of their actions and that worries me. On the contrary, if the limits are clear, if there is a definite rule to follow and if I am comfortable with this rule, like I am with the rule proposed in this bill, I will be in a better

Criminal Code   be solved by the use of force but by precise and clear agreements between various interested parties. It should be recalled that in that precise case, there was no agreement in force between two sovereign countries, namely Canada and the United States. The ridiculously timid penalty

Criminal Code  Taking it one step further, if we are going to be looking at a piece of legislation such as this, it must answer the concerns of Canadians. Are Canadians happy to see more restrictions placed on police officers? I do not believe they are. They have made that clear right across
