Information & Ethics committee  Chair, you've heard me talk, I'm sure, at length about some of the frustrations I have with the other place, as we refer to it, but when S-210 passed unanimously through the Senate, I believe that there were more than 40 different options presented for a site that hosts explicit material to be able to verify someone's age.

National Strategy to Reduce Food Waste and Combat Food Insecurity  This policy has four areas of near-term action, including: [h]elp Canadian communities access healthy food; [m]ake Canadian food the top choice at home and abroad; [s]upport food security in northern and indigenous communities; and [r]educe food waste. Obviously, Canada's food policy is very vague. It offers guidelines, and frankly, that is a good thing.

Public Safety committee  I propose that we move immediately to the study of Bill S‑210. The Chair even saw fit to allow us, during the second hour, to take a moment to talk about upcoming work. Out of respect for the witnesses who are here, out of respect for the other members of the committee and out of respect for the members of the subcommittee who reached a consensus on the report we are talking about today, I think that we could come back to the agenda, vote on this motion and question the witnesses who are here to talk about Bill S‑210.

Business of Supply  Despite the death, crime and carnage, the Prime Minister has not ruled out replicating B.C.'s failed drug experiment in other jurisdictions across the country. Our motion calls on the Prime Minister to proactively reject the City of Toronto’s request to legalize deadly hard drugs like crack, cocaine, heroin and meth.

Transport committee  Larger aircraft, which are more profitable, can be deployed from hub locations where they benefit from the S-curve. The S-curve observation is that, as airlines increase flights at an airport, they receive a disproportionate share of passengers. Economies of size also apply to the cost of operations, such as hangars, maintenance and overhead expenses.

Business of Supply  Martin Schechter, who led the study, called the the North American Opiate Medication Initiative (NAOMI), and Perry Kendall, B.C.'s first public health officer, are moving to change that. Frustrated by the lack of action from government, the two have launched a company called FPP...short for Fair Price Pharma, with the goal of producing an affordable domestic supply of legal, injectable heroin for use in treatment.

Public Safety committee  On a point of order, as this meeting seems to be winding down, I'm wondering if we can get the unanimous consent of the committee to request an extension of 30 sitting days for the consideration of Bill S-210 and that the chair accordingly present a report to the House. I should think, considering the importance that our Conservative colleagues seem to place on Bill S-210, that doing a proper study will be most acceptable to them.

Public Safety committee  In my extensive experience in multiple cases, CSC and PBC play mere lip service to the s. 8(2)(m)(i) analysis, with the result that in 100 per cent of the cases, the decision favours the offender's privacy rights over the public interest. We urge you to restore public confidence in the correctional system and the administration of justice by rescinding the transfer order and return Mr.

Business of Supply  It is shocking that we sit here and listen to the government and members talk about how they believe it is important to be providing free drugs to Canadians when they are finding out from B.C.'s example that it does not exist. At the Health committee, we heard from Ms. Fiona Wilson, president of the British Columbia Association of Chiefs of Police and deputy chief of the Vancouver Police Department, on April 15th.

Environment committee  I know we have a resource-based economy, but that kind of economy hasn't prevented Australia from evolving. British Petroleum is investing $65 billion in the U.K.'s transition. What's holding us back? Is it Conservatives and other voices telling us we need to hang on to our old economy and not evolve? If we don't evolve, billions of dollars in investments will pass us by.

Business of Supply  Last year, the former Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, Carolyn Bennett, assured Canadians that the Liberals would end their experiment if public health and public safety indicators were not met. Fifteen months in, it is clear that we are failing at both, and B.C.'s NDP premier had to plead with the federal government to grant its request and rescue them from the failed policy. It took 11 days before the NDP-Liberal government acted on the pleading request from the B.C.

Health committee  Sturko, in your remarks, you were saying that indicators haven't been met. I'm PS to the Minister of Mental Health and Addictions. Health Canada is monitoring B.C.'s indicators and is telling us that they are met. Could you please tell us what your sources are?

Business of Supply  When we compare that to Alberta, which has a treatment-only model, and treatment is an important pillar of course, instead we are seeing that Alberta has the leading death rate per capita of all the provinces, with Lethbridge having three times B.C.'s death rate. Does the number of people who are so tragically dying in B.C. versus Alberta contradict what the member is saying in his speech?

Information & Ethics committee  It's that collaboration, the sense that my colleagues and I understand the need to have very strong privacy protection but at the same time very strong economies and a very strong ability for organizations to have data across borders. I'll point to the U.K.'s ICO. They've done great work on children's privacy. They have a children's code, an age-appropriate code, talking about steps that we can take. I think this is something that Bill C-27 highlights.

Health committee  NDP government continues to misleadingly promote this as “safer supply”. Tuesday's announcement from the federal government, which modifies B.C.'s section 56 exemption to prohibit public drug use, is a stark admission of the failure of government at both levels—the failure to properly consider public safety, and confirmation of the danger and disorder that's been unleashed by this experiment.
