Canadian Grain Commission April 14th, 2000
Mr. Speaker, the Government of Canada has taken some very positive steps, most recently in the latest budget, to deal with the pressures that apply to the Canadian Grain Commission.

Importation Of Plutonium April 14th, 2000
Mr. Speaker, what has been approved in the regulatory procedure last year is a shipment volume from Russia that could rise up to something just below 400 grams. If AECL proposes to change the volume, that would require reapplication through the regulatory process.
