Aboriginal Affairs March 1st, 1999
Mr. Speaker, I indicated to my hon. colleague that it is a small number of aboriginal people. There are no groups here. If you break the law, if you are involved in this type activity, it is up to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to deal with it, and that is what they are doing.
Aboriginal Affairs March 1st, 1999
Mr. Speaker, as my hon. colleague is well aware, the report indicated that there was a small number of aboriginals who were possibly involved in these activities. However, any number is unacceptable, whether aboriginal or non-aboriginal.
Aboriginal Affairs March 1st, 1999
Mr. Speaker, the RCMP is concerned about any group, aboriginal or non-aboriginal, if it is involved in illegal activities.
Airbus March 1st, 1999
Mr. Speaker, as I indicated previously I do not direct investigations in the RCMP.
I am surprised that my hon. colleague would be talking about scarce funds when the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party today had a direct hand in putting this country in one of the worst financial messes ever. This government had a saviour and was able to appoint a Minister of Finance who could direct the government and put the finances of this country in place. That is why—
Airbus March 1st, 1999
Mr. Speaker, as solicitor general I do not direct the activities of the RCMP.
Apec Inquiry February 16th, 1999
Mr. Speaker, as I indicated many times in this House, the commission is an independent body that has a job to do. All I would ask my hon. colleague to do is, please, let the public complaints commission do the job it is in place to do.
Apec Inquiry February 16th, 1999
Mr. Speaker, as I indicated a number of times, the public complaints commission is an independent body. I wish my hon. colleagues would let the public complaints commission do what it is in place to do.
Apec Inquiry February 16th, 1999
Mr. Speaker, as the Prime Minister has indicated, he and his ministers will co-operate fully with the public complaints commission. What I would ask my hon. colleague to please do is to let the public complaints commission do what it is to do.
Apec Inquiry February 16th, 1999
Mr. Speaker, as I indicated before, the public complaints commission is an independent body. Would my hon. colleague and all members let the public complaints commission do its job.
Apec Inquiry February 16th, 1999
Mr. Speaker, I am sure my hon. colleague is well aware that the public complaints commission is an independent body. For me to indicate who would or would not appear would be totally inappropriate. I do not intend to do that.
