Canadian Mining Industry November 24th, 1998
Mr. Speaker, the mining industry contributes $26 billion to the Canadian economy every year. It accounts for 16% of our trade exports. It adds $7 billion to Canada's positive trade balance. It generates 368,000 Canadian jobs. It is the lifeblood of 128 communities, especially in rural, remote, northern and aboriginal areas, and it is very much a sophisticated high tech industry that leads the world in sustainable development.
Canadian Wheat Board November 17th, 1998
Mr. Speaker, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food expressly amended Bill C-4 to specify that CWB directors will be elected by producers. That was supported by all parties and by all major farm organizations.
The word “producer” is a defined term in the act. It includes actual producers and those who are interested parties legally entitled to share in a portion of an actual producer's crop. This latter category obviously, in some cases, includes those who are administering the estates of interested parties. It is up to farmers themselves to ensure that the information shown in CWB records is accurate and up to date.
Forestry November 17th, 1998
Mr. Speaker, long before this member or that party engaged in this issue in this House, this government and our provincial counterparts were working very hard on delivering the message around the world that Canadian forest practices are sustainable and that we can be trusted to pursue those practices in this country.
Among other things, we invite buyers to come to this country to look at our practices, and those buyers who have come and seen for themselves go home and change their opinion because they have seen the truth in Canada.
Canadian Wheat Board November 3rd, 1998
Mr. Speaker, the debate on the prairies is obviously healthier than the debate across the way.
An editorial in yesterday's Lethbridge Herald said this: “Democracy is alive and well in agriculture in western Canada. The most important thing from a farmer morale perspective is the actual vote. Finally, for the first time since the federal government instituted the wheat board in 1935, farmers will have a say in who serves them in the global marketplace”.
Canadian Wheat Board November 3rd, 1998
Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Wheat Board electoral process is going very well.
Sixty-four candidates, many of them brand new people, are running for the 10 positions, so there is obviously a healthy contest. For the most part, the debate is positive and constructive.
