Environment committee  So it really depends on how far the carbon dioxide has to be transported through the pipeline and where it's going to be going. The example we have in the studies and reports I've read say that British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan are an ideal area. But as we consider ca

Water Resources Management  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today in the House to address Motion No. 249, introduced by the member for Lac-Saint-Louis. We all know that water is perhaps one of the most valuable natural resources. It is essential to life. It is critical to the health and well-being of Can

Environment committee  I would like to propose G-2, which is on clause 2.

Environment committee  Actually, it's amendment G-2. We were just dealing with amendment G-3.

Environment committee  I thought we had stood.... I'm sorry, you're right. I have a different number here. Thank you.

Environment committee  We're on amendment G-3, according to your package.

Environment committee  Thank you, Chair. We've had thorough discussions with the sponsor of the bill, Ms. Minna, and also with Mr. Khatter. There were some problems, in a practical sense, with the original bill, but I think we've come to the position that we very much support the principle, the effort

Environment committee  Thank you. Clause 3 of this bill has a problem. It would require the government to take unnecessary and ineffective regulatory action when effective regulatory action has already been taken. I pointed that out in my opening. Our proposed amendment would ensure that PFOS can be

Environment committee  Thank you, Chair. I would first like to make an opening statement, and then we'll be standing clause 2 and moving to clause 3, which is the meat of the change. It would be more logical to approach it that way. I'd like to begin by thanking Ms. Minna for her efforts and hard wo

Environment committee  Chair, we have an agenda. We have the witnesses here and Maria Minna is here. Is it a debatable motion?

Environment committee  Thank you, Chair. I have no problem with us making a decision to go to a steering committee. I think that would be helpful.
