Agriculture committee  On the first question, Mr. Carr, no, it is up to the majority of the committee, so it would not be shared publicly. With regard to the Senate, I don't know if I have that answer at this point.

Agriculture committee  I'd have to do research and report back. Again, a committee is the master of its own domain. What I would say is that if we choose not to have any of that shared.... I'm quite confident on the public piece. I don't know about the Senate procedure, so I don't want to speak

Finance committee   to self-initiate looking at alternative proposals that could be better or worse than what is being proposed, unless I'm requested to do so by a House or Senate committee, which has not been the case for this, so we have not looked at alternative ways of reducing Canada's greenhouse gas

Finance committee   appropriations that essentially represent the status quo in government spending, what I referred to in a Senate committee as “last year's news”. You're being asked to vote on last year's news, when we all know that a budget tabled by the Minister of Finance will significantly change the game

Finance committee  Thank you. I read some Senate committee testimony that led me to believe there was a little bit of surprise there. Your office does some great work on looking at departmental spending plans and the people plan for government. My recollection is that every year, for at least

Information & Ethics committee   the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying; vote 1 under the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner; vote 1 under the Office of the Senate Ethics Officer; votes 1 and 5 under Offices of the Information and Privacy Commissioners of Canada, referred to the committee

Finance committee  , and then Poland took off. No other country, the IMF has evaluated, has been as successful in the post-Communist era as Poland, and they adopted all the pro-market reforms we're talking about. We have to open it up. I don't believe there will be mass unemployment. The new entrants will employ

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Kelly. Once again, Bill C‑59 includes a reform of the intergenerational transfer rules for farms and businesses. We in the Bloc Québécois fought for a long time to make headway on this. Can you tell us how this is really useful, important and helpful to business

The Budget   now so we can build homes now instead of negotiating until 2025. We want them to get rid of the old age pension's two classes of seniors. We want them to reimburse Quebec for asylum seekers. We want them to reform employment insurance, which they have been promising to do since

Oil and Gas Industry   for Canadians and improve their lives. To make sure we stabilize prices, we introduced the largest reform on competition in this country. This is something we should all be proud of, because that is the most consequential thing to help Canadians, not only for this generation

Pharmacare Act  , though, when he says that the health problem in Quebec has to do with the fact that the government has not invested enough in health care. The Government of Quebec increased its budget by 50%. It has enacted reforms to try to do more with less. It implemented a number of reforms
