Museums December 7th, 2009
Mr. Speaker, we understand the labour minister cannot impose binding arbitration unless both parties agree to it. However, the museum's management is accountable to the heritage minister.
When will he finally direct the museum's director to start negotiating in good faith with its employees so that an honourable accord can be reached?
Museums December 7th, 2009
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives continue to ignore the labour dispute between the war and civilization museum workers and their employer. If the dispute drags on, planning for summer camps, which allow our school children to discover our rich heritage, will not be completed.
How will the Conservatives explain to those children and their parents that their summer camp has been cancelled?

Afghanistan December 4th, 2009
Mr. Speaker, it is too bad the parliamentary secretary did not answer the question.
The Conservatives abdicated their moral and legal responsibilities in this affair. In many cases, the secret service could not find sufficient reason to warrant incarcerating detainees the Canadian Forces turned over to them.
When will the government launch a public inquiry to uphold Canada's credibility and protect its international reputation?
Afghanistan December 4th, 2009
Mr. Speaker, the minister can skate and fabricate all he wants, but the laws of war are formal: detainees cannot be transferred if there is reasonable risk that they will face torture by the authorities to whom they are turned over.
The redacted documents we have access to refer to whips, braided electrical wires, electrocution and other atrocities.
Why did the Conservatives expose Canada to such risks?
Public Works and Government Services December 2nd, 2009
Mr. Speaker, when the Prime Minister appointed Leo Housakos to the Senate, he knew that Mr. Housakos had approached Mr. Soudas to promote Rosdev to the public servants. He also knew that Mr. Soudas was, indeed, personally involved.
Was an investigation carried out into Mr. Housakos before he was appointed to the Senate, yes or no? If yes, did the Prime Minister take into account the fact that Mr. Housakos represented Rosdev without being registered as a lobbyist?
Public Works and Government Services December 2nd, 2009
Mr. Speaker, Leo Housakos already had access to the Prime Minister's office in August 2006, through press secretary Dimitri Soudas.
Mr. Housakos asked Mr. Soudas to pitch Rosdev to Public Works officials for L'Esplanade Laurier, and Mr. Soudas did that.
The Minister of Public Works and Government Services admitted that an investigation was underway in his department. Is it looking into the interventions by Mr. Soudas and Mr. Housakos involving government buildings?
