Mr. Chair, did General Dynamics-Raytheon submit a bid to supply the joint support ships, yes or no?
Business of Supply November 7th, 2006
Mr. Chair, I would like the minister to answer the question.
Did Airbus submit a bid as part of the public bidding process for the Department of National Defence's acquisition of strategic and tactical transport, yes or no?
Business of Supply November 7th, 2006
Mr. Chair, since that really was a question, I must assume that it was lost in translation.
I would like to ask my question again, and I would like my time to start over when I ask it.
Can the minister tell us whether Airbus submitted a bid as part of the public bidding process for the Department of National Defence's acquisition of strategic and tactical transport?
Business of Supply November 7th, 2006
Mr. Chair, I have another question for the minister.
Was Airbus one of the companies that submitted a bid as part of the public bidding process for the Department of National Defence's air transporters?
Business of Supply November 7th, 2006
Mr. Chair, I hope that the minister's dilatory tactics and the time you took to render a decision will not count as part of my allotted time.
Business of Supply November 7th, 2006
Mr. Chair, please let me know when my five minutes are up so my colleague can use the last five minutes.
When the minister was a lobbyist, was Airbus one of his clients?
Government Accountability November 7th, 2006
Mr. Speaker, that is the party and that is the government that made the promise that the Conservative Party would not accept over $1,000 in contributions per donor. That party and that government has broken that promise.
Will the President of the Treasury Board repeat in this House his commitment that no one in the Conservative Party will accept donations over $1,000 and reimburse the 44 violators of his promise?
Government Accountability November 7th, 2006
Mr. Speaker, when the accountability bill was introduced last April 11, the Treasury Board president said that the Conservative Party would feel bound from that day on by the $1,000 limit on contributions to it. We know now that since then, the Conservative Party has accepted hundreds of donations over $1,000. Even senator Hugh Segal boasts that he has broken the rule.
Will the Treasury Board president repeat his solemn promise today in the House and reimburse the people who broke it?
Firearms Registry November 3rd, 2006
Mr. Speaker, that is just shameful. Mr. Kadhim's question is about the gun registry and the minister's answer is about gun licensing.
If the minister and his government want to play word games with this young man, they should have the courage to do it to his face.
For the fifth time, Mr. Kadhim's question for the Prime Minister is: Would the Prime Minister explain why he wants to dismantle the gun registry, which has proven to have saved many lives and which now costs next to nothing to maintain?
Firearms Registry November 3rd, 2006
Mr. Speaker, for the fourth time this week, I am asking the Prime Minister—not his Parliamentary Secretary or his Minister of Public Safety—to answer Hayder Kadhim's question. That ought to be clear after four times.
Hayder's question is simple: Why does the Prime Minister want to abolish a firearms registry that has proven its worth and saved lives, when it costs very little to maintain?
