The Budget March 14th, 1995
Now we know how they feel about the country.
The Budget March 14th, 1995
Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Being a rookie in the House, I am not too sure if I am doing the right thing. You can help me if I am not.
I seek unanimous consent for a motion that I would like to move at this time. Under Standing Order 52 I move:
That this House do now adjourn for the purpose of discussing the rail strike.
The strike now includes the longshoremen. In turn it is having a devastating effect on exporters and farmers throughout the nation. People are being laid off by the hundreds at this very moment. This is an emergency and I ask for unanimous consent to debate it at this time.

Firearms Act March 13th, 1995
Out of 300.
Petitions March 13th, 1995
Mr. Speaker, the second petition is from petitioners from the Strathmore area. They ask that Parliament support laws that punish all violent criminals who use weapons in the commission of crime and support code firearm provisions that protect the rights of law-abiding citizens to own recreational firearms.
Petitions March 13th, 1995
Mr. Speaker, I have three petitions to present today. The first one is from Banff and area. It requests that sexual orientation not be included in section 718.2 of Bill C-41.
Justice March 13th, 1995
Have a knife held at your throat and see what emotion you have.
Justice March 13th, 1995
Mr. Speaker, that is about as comforting as nothing. I have never in my life believed for a moment that a person could rape and hold a victim at knife point, be arrested at breakfast and be let out by lunch. What kind of justice is that?
When will the minister at least instruct his department to not allow bail for violent rapists?
Justice March 13th, 1995
Mr. Speaker, during this past week in Alberta three more women, one of whom happens to be a former student of mine, were sexually assaulted at knife point, physically beaten and totally traumatized. Two of their attackers were identified by the victims, yet the same brutal, violent perpetrators were released within hours of their arrest.
My question is for the Minister of Justice. When will the minister enact legislation necessary to prevent fully identified brutal rapists from being let back on to the streets?
