Natural Resources committee  Could I just make two points in response to that? First, I'll take that to my upstream colleagues, who would be able to address it. Second is that of course there are regulatory issues involved in this at the provincial level as well as at the federal level. There are various c

Natural Resources committee  Yes. Perhaps I could just make one or two comments. I apologize, Ms. Brunelle, but I will have to speak in English because my French is not very good.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you, honourable members. It's a privilege to be here before you today. I appreciate the rescheduling. I was originally intended to appear before you in the fall. A key focus of your deliberations is environmental issues surrounding shale gas

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I report all reportable activities under the act as well.

The fact that someone had attempted to send me privileged information came to my attention on Monday, November 22, when I was contacted by the clerk of

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I didn't solicit, receive, or read the report. I had no idea that an attempted sending to me of a privileged document had occurred. Therefore, there would be no reason for me to contact Ms. Block.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I didn't receive the document in question. And in terms of friendship, does one assume that it will lead to the exchange of confidential information? No.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Mr. Chairman, Mr. Ullyatt knew I was presenting to the committee. Mr. Ullyatt had asked me what relevance my presentation would have to the province of Saskatchewan, and particularly to the interest of his member of Parliament from Saskatchewan. I gave him several relevant points

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Mr. Chairman, I'm not sure what “log-rolling” means, but Mr. Ullyatt had asked me specifically what relevance my presentation had to Saskatchewan interests.
