Public Safety committee  In the case of centrefire ammunition, the primer is located in the centre of the cartridge base, hence centrefire, and the primer consists of a small capsule of shock-sensitive explosive that is ignited when struck by the firearm pin of the firearm. There's a small hole between the pocket that the primer sits in that connects it with the interior of the cartridge, which contains the propellant powder.

Health committee  At the Canadian Fallen Firefighter Memorial service I attended on September 11 of this year, a family member of Fire Chief Leo Grant Sabulsky of the Chetwynd Volunteer Fire Department in B.C. who had succumbed to cancer linked to his service, said this: “Throughout the years, I was prepared for the possibility of a disaster involving an explosion, collapsing buildings or falls. I never imagined that his life would be cut short through slow, continuous exposure while doing the very thing that he loved the most. It is my hope that monumental progress will be made to protect our young firefighters from making the ultimate sacrifice in such a terrible way.”

Public Safety committee  If you walk through amendment G-4 and you start with proposed paragraph (e), you'll see it includes language that it's a firearm that is capable of discharging a projectile with a muzzle energy exceeding 10,000 Joules, other than a firearm designed exclusively for neutralizing explosive devices, Those are bomb diffusers. Proposed paragraph (e) is on firearms that are already prohibited in the regulations. They're being imported from the regulations to the definition of prohibited firearm.

Industry committee  As TPMs are an essential safeguard to the digital and connected economy well beyond IP, circumvention should ensure repairs are safe: that they do not risk health, personal injury or property damage and that they maintain security, such as protecting the personal information of Canadians and preventing interception to gain unauthorized control over a consumer product. This is particularly important given the explosion of the Internet of things and computer-controlled products like self-driving cars, and in a time when hacking and ransomware are pervasive, along with state-sponsored terrorism. Finally, we also recommend small technical amendments to the bill to address a redundant reference to “computer program” in clause 1 of the bill: A “computer program” is a work.

Declaration of Emergency committee  The Globe and Mail reported that newly unsealed court documents related to the conspiracy to murder RCMP officers in Coutts show that investigators found two pipe bombs, along with 36,098 rounds of ammunition, gas masks and firearms. Thankfully, these pipe bombs were dismantled by an explosives team. I also note that the CBC reported that one text message, cited by police, shows that the bosses told the men to spread the message that the real goal for the protest included altering Canada's political, judicial and medical systems.

Telecommunications Act  More specifically, he was asked to develop missiles that could take down V‑1s and V‑2s, the unmanned German aircraft filled with explosives that were causing so much damage in England. To that end, Professor Wiener had to model the behaviour of a pilot who knew he was being chased in order to better understand the decision-making mechanisms of humans in general.

Public Safety committee  You know that belugas and narwhals are hunted using regular hunting firearms, not 10,000-joule things, and with bowhead whales we usually see explosive devices. The questions we are asking witnesses here are outside the scope of their expertise. They do not represent the entirety of the Government of Canada. I would really encourage you, Mr.

Public Safety committee  This is the Liberal government's amendment to Bill C-21 that amends clause 1 by adding the following: (1.1) The definition “prohibition order” in subsection 84(1) of the Act is replaced by the following: “prohibition order” means an order made under this Act or any other Act of Parliament prohibiting a person from possessing any firearm, cross-bow, prohibited weapon, restricted weapon, prohibited device, firearm part, ammunition, prohibited ammunition or explosive substance, or all such things; (1.2) The definition “prohibited firearm” in subsection 84(1) of the Act is amended by striking out “or” at the end of paragraph (c) and by adding the following after paragraph (d): (e) a firearm that is capable of discharging a projectile with a muzzle energy exceeding 10 000 Joules, other than a firearm designed exclusively for neutralizing explosive devices, (f) a firearm with a bore diameter of 20 mm or greater, other than a firearm designed exclusively for neutralizing explosive devices, In particular, Mr.

Science and Research committee  Think of a world without microcomputing, if that moonshot had not been undertaken. Investment in discovery research fuelled an explosion in microcomputing and other important endeavours. I hope the same will be true should the Government of Canada pursue a moonshot. Advances like these have created unprecedented opportunities to address society's most important challenges.

Government Operations committee  When I heard you say earlier that progress had been made, I was startled once again. On the one hand, you seem to disregard the explosion in prices. On the other, it seems like you are putting a heavy lid on the elephant in the room, in this case Davie Shipbuilding, which is still not officially part of the agreement although it accounts for 50% of the naval construction capacity in Canada.

National Defence committee  You can have an initial fence of an anti-missile system and you can have interceptors, but in the end, and where we are in Canada, you actually need a point defence, which is a ground-based air defence system that protects your critical infrastructure, protects your command and control nodes and protects your government from an explosion on our soil.

LGen (Ret'd) Alain J. Parent

National Defence committee  I think it's time to embrace integrated air and missile defence as a whole, as we should worry about defending against the explosion—the boom—and not about the propulsion system or the domain the missile is travelling through, whether it be through the air or space. Allow me to establish some of my NORAD credentials ahead of your questions.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  However, “before the safe third country agreement” doesn't provide, I would suggest, a particularly useful reference point as to what solutions may be appropriate going forward. There has been an explosion—not just across the Canada-U.S. border, but globally—in the number of people seeking asylum. We need to be adopting solutions that are going to apply to the challenges we're facing today, not the challenges that may have been in place when I was in high school.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Organizations are very upset about this, and they want us to take action. If there are no more guns coming into the country, that will help reduce the explosion of gang violence. We don't think military intervention is needed, but rather a strengthening of the Haitian police. In fact, Canada had begun to do this by training police officers in Haiti.
