[Assisted Human Reproduction Act, March 26th, 2003]

Mr. Speaker, we will be voting yes. I would like to add the member for Vancouver--Sunshine Coast.

[Assisted Human Reproduction Act, March 26th, 2003]

Mr. Speaker, we have 40-some votes and a whole bunch of them under that member's name. I am wondering if we are going to stand here and vote for every group. I was under the impression that we had an agreement that we would apply some of these votes or a good portion of them.

[Transportation Amendment Act, March 25th, 2003]

Mr. Speaker, Canadian Alliance members will vote against the motion with the exception of the member for Selkirk--Interlake.

[Supplementary Estimates (B), 2002-03, March 25th, 2003]

Mr. Speaker, Canadian Alliance members will vote no on those motions.

[Supplementary Estimates (B), 2002-03, March 25th, 2003]

Mr. Speaker, Canadian Alliance members will vote no to this motion.

[Firearms Program, March 25th, 2003]

Mr. Speaker, that was neither a yes nor a no, but I would like to remind the Prime Minister that he is doing exactly what he criticized the Tory government for doing in 1990. He said at that time, “You cannot say over and over that what you do does not matter, and that you are right and everyone else is wrong. That is not democracy, that is a dictatorship”. What he has on that side of the House is just that: a dictatorship.

Here he has an opportunity. Will the Prime Minister keep one promise? Will he allow a free vote so that his MPs do not have to wimp out or duck out?

[Firearms Program, March 25th, 2003]

Mr. Speaker, believe it or not, back in 1993 this Prime Minister told the Toronto Star that Canadians felt alienated from their political institutions and that they wanted to restore integrity to them, that they had enough of the abuses of Parliament and the arrogance of government.

For his information, Canadians still feel that way but we are wondering about him. Will the Prime Minister stop riding roughshod over Parliament and his caucus and allow Liberal MPs a free vote on the plan to dump another $59 million into the useless firearms registry?

[Question No. 135, March 24th, 2003]

For the fiscal years 1993-1994, 1994-1995, 1995-1996, 1996-1997, 1997-1998, 1998-1999, 1999-2000 et 2000-2001, from all departments and agencies of the government, including crown corporations and quasi/non-governmental agencies funded by the government, and not including research and student-related grants and loans, what is the list of grants, loans, contributions and contracts awarded in the constituency of Wetaskiwin, including the name and address of the recipient, whether or not it was competitively awarded, the date, the amount and the type of funding, and if repayable, whether or not it has been repaid?

Return tabled.
