Mr. Speaker, it is exactly the same approach that was used by the Leader of the Opposition during his three years as a minister in Mr. Mulroney's government.

Human Rights November 3rd, 1994
Mr. Speaker, in answer to that question, last week, I observed with interest the meeting between the Premier of Quebec and the governor of a Chinese province and I noted that the Premier of Quebec made no public comment about human rights in China.
Ethics November 3rd, 1994
Mr. Speaker, I do not want to reflect on integrity but when the member across the way speaks about integrity I find it passing strange that two days ago she made certain false allegations in the House which she knew subsequently to be false but which she did not have the integrity to withdraw.

Mr. Speaker, we respect the committee's capacity to act independently. I hope that the hon. members opposite also respect the right of individual parlia-

Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition knows perfectly well we have always had Supplementary Estimates. That was already the case when he was a minister in Mr. Mulroney's government.
What we said today, what the Minister of Finance said last week and what the Prime Minister has emphasized, is that we intend to meet our commitment to a target of 3 per cent of GDP. And we will succeed.
We are going to meet our targets. We intend to meet our targets. We are going to meet our 3 per cent and the Prime Minister is committed to that. Every member of the cabinet and the government is committed to that deficit reduction exercise.
Privilege November 2nd, 1994
Mr. Speaker, all the letters were part of the public record of the CRTC.
The Environment November 2nd, 1994
Mr. Speaker, we did announce jointly yesterday with the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States that there will be no dredging at Massena this year. I can further assure the House that there will be no dredging unless and until the Department of the Environment and myself as minister are satisfied that there is absolutely no risk to the health of Canadians.
There is no dredging this year. If there is any operation next spring, and I want to thank the EPA and General Motors for their co-operation and their assurances, no dredging will take place where there is any risk of any PCB contamination.
Crtc November 1st, 1994
Mr. Speaker, the member can pose his question to the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister is not here. It is awfully hard for us to respond to allegations of things that were not said in letters that were not written.
