Agriculture committee   to pillar two, which has already gone too far. They are not keen on more modulation. They are not keen on sharing for regional development. There are imbalances that have been pointed out by the new member states, in which the amount of direct aid per hectare, for example, in Greece

Agriculture committee   on food. In France, that percentage is 14.8%, in England 11.2% and in Greece, 31%. When we look at those countries, we realize that the system can perhaps be improved. Even if the cost of groceries in Canada increased by 2%, 3% or 4%, money could be injected into the system

Greek Independence Day   of England and others, was an uprising not only to restore democracy to the nation that founded democracy, but also to free a nation, to cut the bonds of slavery and free its people, to free a spirit called Hellenism. Today Greece is a modern 21st century country, a member

International Trade committee  —are embarking today on the European free trade agreement with four specific countries. I just want you to place for me how this falls under what you just said. If we go and negotiate with Italy or with Greece or with Spain, for example, can the commission step in and say “Whoa, whoa, I have

Foreign Affairs committee   have fallen and they're doing some things to stimulate domestic demand. But my comment is that we are not through this. Everything is linked, and therefore the chain is still reverberating around. When it comes to Latvia and Iceland—and people are talking about Greece

Petitions   with Canadian armed forces in Afghanistan and with our partners in other NATO-led missions. It is time for Canada to follow the example of Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom and lift visitor visa requirements for Croatia.

Information & Ethics committee  It was Greece and Romania who appeared in the particular report the minister made reference to as being the top two in the world. Canada is certainly up there, but I don't have any more specific information on the other countries that perhaps were reflected in that report

Citizenship and Immigration committee   that the best immigration policy Canada has had was the one under which we let people come into the country with their families within a short period of time. I'm thinking of the old waves of immigration that came from Italy, Greece and so on in the 1950s and 1960s. Those people, because

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I am of the race of Solon. Solon was the founder of democracy in ancient Greece. I believe in openness and transparency, and I like to believe the House functions in a democratic way. However, when it takes 300 days to get a response, then maybe democracy is being

Fisheries committee   that looks like the Parthenon in Greece. Cabot Head, for instance, has cedar eavestroughing, hand-made metal down spouts, shiplap board siding, a rock and rubble foundation, and board and bead along the staircases. The uniqueness of our lighthouses brings present-day tourists and connects

Citizenship and Immigration committee   that immigrants go through. As for myself, I have a staff member in my office who is married to an Iraqi and has immediate family from Iraq.

Natural Resources committee   we're talking about covers 13 million hectares of land, which is bigger than the land mass of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick combined. If you want to take a look at one country in the world, take a look at Greece; it's about the size of Greece. The last geographic comparison

Veterans Affairs committee  It would be really nice to get a paid trip to Cyprus and then stay maybe an extra week or two to visit Greece, but I think it really would be sticking our nose into something that doesn't concern us. When a soldier goes to Cyprus to decompress, he is not yet a veteran. Would we

Foreign Affairs committee   in Greece about this bombing campaign.” “No,” said the ambassador, “there's no controversy at all—we're all against it. But we're in NATO, so we're here.” Why? No risk. Nobody scratched themselves, let alone suffered a casualty or a fatality. Based on NATO's performance in Afghanistan

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I've heard that they don't, but I can tell you of one country that I know of, probably the cradle of democracy, Greece—
