Mr. Speaker, arrests and detentions are not private acts. We need to get off on the right foot on the basis that the government is going to have new sweeping powers to detain, with lower public scrutiny. The minister claims that people will not be held on just whispers and innuendo, so her accounting should have real substance.

When is the immigration minister going to establish regular reporting of both numbers and types who are being detained under her ministerial authority?

Elinor Caplan LiberalMinister of Citizenship and Immigration

Mr. Speaker, for the current fiscal year, I can tell the member that 9,138 individuals were detained in Canada, accounting, as I said, for approximately 136,000 days in detention.

As a member of the immigration committee, he knows that he is welcome at any time to request information from the department, and we are always very forthcoming about answering their questions.

Mr. Speaker, Canada 3000 employees are in Ottawa today to demonstrate their dissatisfaction.

These workers are demanding real measures to stabilize the airline industry. According to the trustee in bankruptcy, who would prefer to see the assets sold off individually, resumption of Canada 3000's activities is no longer a desirable option.

Will the transport minister finally recognize that there is a pressing need to act, and will he commit to offering a loan guarantee to buyers of part of Canada 3000's assets?

David Collenette LiberalMinister of Transport

Mr. Speaker, when we offered the loan guarantee of $75 million to Canada 3000, it was done on the belief that it was bridge financing to allow Canada 3000 over a difficult patch, so it could get to revenues that were locked up by virtue of the various tour and charter regulations under the provincial and federal governments.

That loan guarantee for Canada 3000, which could have been accessed by some of the other larger carriers covering 95% of the market, was there for that specific purpose. It is not our intention to extend that program to new entrants into the field.

Mr. Speaker, could the Secretary of State for Multiculturalism tell the House what she is doing to ensure that Canadian children who are using the Internet for educational purposes are not subject to messages of hate subculture and extremist organizations.

Mr. Speaker, as secretary of state, I have been co-ordinating round tables with the Department of Justice, the Solicitor General of Canada, Industry Canada, NGOs, police, many Internet service providers and other levels of government to develop comprehensive tools to address this issue.

We have been funding programs that promote public education tools to combat hate on the Internet. For example, in partnership with the Media Awareness Network, we have created a tool for young people between the ages of nine and twelve to be able to detect biases on the Internet. The Ministers of Justice and Industry have--

Mr. Speaker, the Minister of National Defence has publicly stated that the process to replace the Sea King helicopters is behind schedule. A document from the defence department states that the delay for the delivery might well stretch beyond the year 2010.

Will the minister be up front with us today, not political but up front and tell us exactly when we will get the replacements for the Sea Kings? When will he award that contract?

Mr. Speaker, we are about to go into the request for proposal process, the pre-qualification stage. Having gone through numerous discussions with the industry because of the many questions that they have asked, we want to make sure they understand the request for proposals. Let me assure the hon. member that when those documents go out, as they will shortly, they will reflect what our fine, dedicated men and women in the Canadian forces feel is needed in terms of the helicopter.

We will be looking to get the replacement for the Sea Kings by the end of 2005. We will work as fast as we can to achieve that.

3:40 p.m.

The Speaker

I declare the motion lost.

I wish to inform the House that because of the deferred recorded divisions government orders will be extended by an additional 49 minutes to which can be added the 30 minutes from this morning, so there will be a total extension of 79 minutes beyond 5.30 p.m.

I wish to clarify the manner in which we will proceed this afternoon for private members' business.

As hon. members are aware, government orders have been extended and the hour provided for private members' business scheduled for 5.30 p.m. has been delayed until 6 p.m. pursuant to Standing Order 67(1), the provisions regarding the debate on the motion for time allocation. We had a further delay because of the deferred divisions.

Later today private members' business may be subject to rescheduling due to the provisions of Standing Order 37. The Speaker is not able to anticipate how many divisions, if any, may take place on Bill C-36 at the end of government orders but I anticipate there might be some.

I want to inform hon. members that private members' hour will take place late tonight unless the recorded divisions at the end of government orders delay it by more than one and one half hours after the beginning of the votes. If members want to make other arrangements they can do so with consent.

Mr. Speaker, during the vote on Motion No. 241, the member for Bas-Richelieu--Nicolet--Bécancour used words which I dare not repeat in the House and which were offensive to me. I ask that he withdraw them immediately.

Mr. Speaker, I saw and heard the member for Bas-Richelieu--Nicolet--Bécancour use these very offensive words. In Quebec, these are the worst words you can say to someone.

The Speaker

It is difficult for the Chair. I heard a lot of noise, but I did not hear certain words. Without the words, it is difficult for me to determine whether the hon. member for Beauséjour--Petitcodiac has a valid question of privilege.

What I can say is that I will reread the blues to determine whether there is a problem. If I determine that there is, I will certainly report back to the House and will ask that the offensive words, if any, be withdrawn.
