Statements in the House

Petitions October 26th, 1994

Mr. Speaker, I would like to present six petitions to the House today.

In two petitions the petitioners are asking that Parliament not amend the human rights code, the Canadian Human Rights Act or the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in any way which would tend to indicate societal approval of same sex relationships or homosexuality, including amending the human rights code to include in the prohibited grounds of discrimination the undefined phrase sexual orientation.

Canadian Security Intelligence Service October 19th, 1994

There is only one way to alleviate the concerns of Canadians about the information that CSIS holds on our party.

Is the Solicitor General prepared to provide the leader of the Reform Party with access to all information that CSIS may hold on our party?

Canadian Security Intelligence Service October 19th, 1994

Mr. Speaker, it is very apparent to me that solicitor generals do represent political parties. There is only one way-

Canadian Security Intelligence Service October 19th, 1994

Mr. Speaker, after yesterday's appearance of the former Solicitor General before the subcommittee on national security, it has become apparent that both the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and the Liberal Party of Canada have had access to CSIS information that mentions the Reform Party of Canada.

It appears that the party denied access to the information is the Reform Party whose rights have been abused. What steps is the Solicitor General prepared to take to stop this abuse of the democratic process?

Department Of Public Works And Government Services Act October 18th, 1994

I rise on a point of order, Madam Speaker. I was also absent for the vote on Bill C-49 and I would appreciate if my vote would be recorded on Bill C-52 as supporting it.

Canadian Security Intelligence Service October 18th, 1994

Mr. Speaker, I am a little concerned that all of this is all inclusive in the SIRC report. They may not get that report out before the end of the year.

However, I am pleased that the minister has assured us that this sort of thing will not happen again. I ask if he has given the Germans an indication of Grant Bristow's involvement and a report of the activities.

Canadian Security Intelligence Service October 18th, 1994

Mr. Speaker, as reported in the media, a previous Solicitor General authorized Grant Bristow to attend neo-Nazi rallies and meetings in Germany. However, CSIS and the previous administration did not believe it was necessary to inform the German government of Bristow's attendance.

Has the Solicitor General been provided with an explanation of why the Germans were not informed, and has he accepted this explanation?

Dangerous Offenders October 17th, 1994

Mr. Speaker, we are debating my private member's bill in the House now and it deals with this issue.

The Liberal red book states that as a government it would introduce measures to protect women and children. This government failed to protect Pamela Cameron. It failed to protect Sarah Kelly in The Pas and it failed to protect Mindy Tran in Kelowna.

Will the minister advise the House when the government will live up to the red book promises and its commitment to protect this country's children?

Dangerous Offenders October 17th, 1994

Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, October 4 at four o'clock in the afternoon 16-year old Pamela Cameron was walking on one of the busiest streets in Surrey, B.C. She never made it to her destination. She was murdered and her body was left in a brush covered lot. The man charged in her murder is a convicted sex offender. The court called this man a walking time bomb. When he was released Corrections Canada advised that he was a high risk offender.

Will the Solicitor General advise the House what steps the government will take to protect innocent children from sexual predators?

Canadian Security Intelligence Service October 5th, 1994

Mr. Speaker, this report was given by SIRC to the former Solicitor General in 1992. The report should be available to the present Solicitor General.

The minister has frequently commented on his willingness to pursue disciplinary action. Will he assure the House that once the SIRC report is released he will be taking legal or disciplinary action against any wrongdoing that was committed?
