Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999  As part of the ongoing saga of the Liberal cabinet and its leaders and its ministers, one of the guiding lights has been the harmonization in making agreements with the provinces to deal with environmental issues. However industry and business representatives wanted one-stop shopping. They wanted to go to Walmart to purchase all their pharmaceuticals, dry goods, a McDonald's burger, food, shoes and a new jacket under one roof.

Canada Transportation Act  Third, the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food will provide for a five year, $175 million grain roads program at the rate of $35 million per year from 2001 to 2005-06. This grain road program is to be modelled on the Canada agri-infrastructure program, as implemented in Saskatchewan.

Supply  In addition, investments in the agriculture sector are up and food exports are increasing, in particular those of processed food products so that we get the value added and the jobs here in Canada. That is certainly an important area of growth for the future.

Canada Health Act  The federal Department of Health has always been involved in the promotion of good nutrition in Canada. In 1992 Health Canada released Canada's food guide to healthy eating. The guide provides Canadians with information on establishing healthy eating patterns through the daily selection of foods.

Anti-terrorism Act  In many places, the borders are closed and they are unable to find refuge. My thoughts are with these women and children. I sincerely hope that they find refuge, food, shelter and, most important, decent care through this terrible crisis. I believe we must be very realistic about Bill C-36. The winds of panic have blown around the world and I think we as legislators and elected representatives must spread a message of calm and logic in all this.

Speech From The Throne  I hereby move, seconded by the hon. member for Laval East, that the following address be presented to Her Excellency the Governor General of Canada: To Her Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson, a Member of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, Chancellor and Principal Companion of the Order of Canada, Chancellor and Commander of the Order of Military Merit, Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada.

Criminal Law Amendment Act, 2001  I am certain there are also people in other provinces who hunt and fish, in equal numbers, and there will be economic repercussions there as well. It is important to remember that in Canada as in Quebec, we have a tradition of hunting and fishing. It is not only native peoples who do so. We do so, and most hunters and fishers are guided by a spirit of wildlife conservation.

Canada Health Act  As members certainly know, the Canadian government recognizes them as a key resource in drawing up health policies such as Canada's food guide which provides guidelines for a healthy diet. Historically the first nutrition programs were offered by the University of Toronto in 1902 and Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children was the first hospital to hire a professional dietitian in 1908.

Judges Act  In other words, over a two year period federal judges had received an 8.2% increase. According to Statistics Canada, the consumer price index from 1996 to 1998 rose 2.55%. Mr. Speaker, I presume that your salary, my salary and indeed the salaries of most Canadians across the country would be somewhat governed by that statistic.

Supply  They stated that their party's policy was not guided by the interests of producers but by the “demand of consumers for secure supplies of food at the lowest competitive prices”. That was nothing short of a declaration of war on the family farm.

Canadian Tourism Commission Act  I think it is going beyond what is normal and acceptable. The promotion of Canada that is being done by the federal government in Canada does not deal only with tourist attractions, but also with the value of Canada itself as a federation. That is a way to compensate for the weaknesses in the operation of the federation, all the more because this government lacks flexibility and is unwilling to change.

International Boundary Waters Treaty Act  Its primary mandate is to ensure co-operation between the United States and Canada in the management of storm drainage systems along the border. Six commissioners sit on the commission, three from Canada and three from the U.S. It is their responsibility to study the various problems arising in the management of basins.

Supply  I would like to spend a moment on the motion by my colleague for Brandon—Souris, which reads as follows: That this House regrets the failure of the government to recognize the important of Canada's food industries— I am going to express my thoughts on this situation. I wonder if the government is even aware that there is such a thing as a food industry in Canada, judging by its behaviour.

Main Estimates, 2000-01  Some of the departments involved in providing input to the revised policy included Health Canada, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, Industry Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Environment Canada, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Western Economic Diversification, Canadian Heritage and Finance Canada.

The Environment  The situation in the Arctic is described in the Canadian Arctic contaminants assessment report which was produced last year. The report states that persistent organic pollutants from sources outside Canada and outside the Arctic have been transported to the Arctic by air. These pollutants find their way into the Arctic food chain and accumulate in traditional aboriginal foods. As a result, high levels of the pesticides toxaphene and chlordane have been found in beluga muktoq and seal meat.
