House of Commons photoWon his last election, in 2000, with 77% of the vote.
Department Of National Revenue Act April 20th, 1994
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Just a clarification, there has been discussion and there is agreement that we should pass this bill before we move to Private Members' Hour. I do not know how long the member has left but if the House agrees not to see the clock so he can finish his speech, then you could put the question.
Controlled Drugs And Substances Act April 19th, 1994
If there is unanimous consent for the House to divide immediately on the main motion on Bill C-7, I ask that the results of the division be applied in the same manner as the division taken on Bill C-17.
Controlled Drugs And Substances Act April 19th, 1994
Mr. Speaker, I think you will find there is unanimous consent for the results of the division on the amendment to Bill C-7 to be applied in reverse of the division on Bill C-17.
Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Process April 19th, 1994
Mr. Speaker, I think you will find there is unanimous consent for proceeding immediately with the vote on the main motion and for applying to the main motion the division just taken on the amendment.
Budget Implementation Act, 1994 April 19th, 1994
Mr. Speaker, I believe that you will obtain unanimous consent to apply the result of the vote just taken to the main motion.
Excise Act April 19th, 1994
If we could have unanimous consent to move on to private members' business, we will hold the necessary consultations during the debate and decide whether there will be proceedings on the adjournment motion.
Excise Act April 19th, 1994
Madam Speaker, at this time, I think we will do what we wanted to do at the beginning. I think you will find there is unanimous consent to move on to private members' business right away. We should then be finished in time for the call of the bell.
So if you asked for unanimous consent, I think you would get it.
Excise Act April 19th, 1994
Madam Speaker, I think you have the unanimous consent of the House to go back to government orders, and proceed with Bill C-11. After that, we will see what time it is and perhaps move on to private members' business before the division. I will come back to that, Madam Speaker.
I apologize to the House. I misunderstood but we would like-and I think there is unanimous consent-to move on to Bill C-11 right away.
Excise Act April 19th, 1994
Madam Speaker, on a point of order. I think you would find unanimous consent, since we deferred the vote, to go on to Private Members' Hour as soon as we find the members who are on the agenda for Private Members' Hour.
Private Members' Hour will probably take us up to the time for taking the vote. Instead of doing Private Members' Hour after the vote, we will do it before. If there is unanimous consent, we could suspend the sitting temporarily. As soon as the whips find their spokespersons for Private Members' Hour the sitting can resume. Then we could suspend and start the votes.
Women's Spirit Of Entrepreneurship April 15th, 1994
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to draw the attention of the House to the outstanding contribution made by Canadian women to job creation and to the important role they play in the development of our economy.
The Montreal region has been well served by their spirit of entrepreneurship. Women understood the importance and potential of small businesses. The women of Montreal realize that small business are responsible for 85 per cent of the new jobs created in this country and that they need better access to capital.
Last year, 35 per cent of small businesses started in Montreal were headed by women. Furthermore, the five-year survival rate of small businesses headed by women is twice as high as the survival rate of those headed by men.
I want to congratulate these women on their courage and entrepreneurial spirit and wish them every success in the future.
