Mr. Speaker, we store tax information, generally not medical files.
Our government's top priority is the economy and this includes making sure that Canadians' tax dollars are spent wisely. This change will ensure the privacy and security of taxpayers' records, and will do so at a lower cost for Canadian taxpayers.

Mr. Speaker, the top priority of the Canadian Coast Guard is the safety of our mariners. In fact, the Coast Guard is in the process of establishing a new inshore rescue boat station for the summer season in Vancouver. We continue to strengthen our partnerships with the on-water research and rescue responders. We have invested billions of dollars in Canadian Coast Guard assets. There are more assets in Vancouver harbour than in any harbour in the country.
When this member's party was in government, the Coast Guard was tied to the wharf, rusting and underfunded.
Fisheries and Oceans December 5th, 2012
Mr. Speaker, we have said that we will uphold the owner-operator policy. We have said that we will uphold the fleet separation policy. A former minister of Fisheries and Oceans adopted PIIFCAF, which makes it illegal to have these controlling agreements.
Fisheries and Oceans December 5th, 2012
Mr. Speaker, I am sure that the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans did stand in this place and tell this House that we would uphold the owner-operator and fleet separation policies.

Mr. Speaker, the safety of mariners is our top priority and I can assure the hon. member that the policy is that a Canadian company will take all medical calls.

Mr. Speaker, as I said, the safety of mariners is our top priority. We are confident that the changes we are making in Quebec City will have no negative impact on the ability to respond to distress incidents on the water, quickly, effectively and in both official languages.
Search and Rescue December 5th, 2012
Mr. Speaker, the top priority of the Canadian Coast Guard is the safety of our mariners. There was an interruption in services, which has since been rectified. We have a contract with a Canadian company that is taking all the medical calls.
Search and Rescue December 4th, 2012
Mr. Speaker, I certainly reject the premise of that question. I can assure the hon. member that marine medical calls are being answered in Canada by Canadians.
Search and Rescue December 4th, 2012
Mr. Speaker, we are confident that changes in Quebec City will have no negative impact on our ability to respond to distress incidents on the water quickly, effectively and in both official languages.
Quebec is served by no less than 19 coast guard vessels, including 7 search and rescue lifeboats, 2 hovercraft and 6 helicopters.
Search and Rescue December 4th, 2012
Mr. Speaker, that is not the case. The Canadian Coast Guard has an excellent working relationship with DND. In an average year, the Canadian Forces and the Canadian Coast Guard, partnered, respond to approximately 9,100 incidents. We are tasking military aircraft or ships for over 1,100 cases, saving an average of 1,200 lives and assisting some 20,000 people across the country.
I can assure the member that it is a Canadian company that is taking those medical calls.
