Canadian Film Centre Lifetime Achievement Award  When the Canadian Film Centre opened in 1988 Mr. Jewison remarked: “Film has become the literature of this generation. With the current explosion in global communications, Canada's cultural distinction and survival depends on its ability to master the medium and command a place on the screens of the world”. I am pleased to rise today to congratulate Mr.

Concentration Of Print Media In Canada  The Canadian information landscape has changed tremendously. The growth of broadcast media has been explosive. Canadians can now partake in an ever expanding universe of general interest and specialty channels, several of which are devoted exclusively to news, debates and editorials. What also bears mention is the incredible communication potential of the Internet and the proliferation of so-called new media or multi-media services.

Concentration Of Print Media In Canada  The Competition Bureau has been given the necessary tools to complete this task so let it do it. Print media is not a new media form, unlike the Internet explosion. This House would certainly have taken print media into consideration when it crafted this act just over a decade ago. It seems we may very well be debating nostalgia today. The world we are living in has changed dramatically in the ways in which information is delivered.

Explosives Act  To answer the question of the parliamentary secretary, through him to the public, Transport Canada has the equipment and the confidence that we are able to detect any plastic explosives introduced in the aviation regime.

Personal Information Protection And Electronic Documents Act  These examples are only the tip of the iceberg on what awaits Canadians if the private sector, like the public sector, has access to a lot of personal information that it can now connect together, thanks to the explosion of new technological networks. We will have a society where so-called personal information will no longer exist and, consequently, where there will be no privacy for anyone. It is all the more obvious that Bill C-54 is inadequate to protect privacy as it does not even extend to the private sector the principles governing the protection of personal information under federal jurisdiction.

Personal Information Protection And Electronic Documents Act  The Minister of Industry has to make sure that Canada is an active participant in the world economy, more specifically, in the upcoming explosion of electronic commerce. We think this will become very important. I think it will be vital to do so. In terms of traditional imports, Quebec is currently experiencing a pretty fantastic boom.

United Nations Universal Declaration Of Human Rights  Unfortunately, the post-cold war era has demonstrated that anything but that has occurred. We have seen an explosion of regional conflicts, primarily internecine conflicts, affecting nation states. Many of these states were boiling over and when the cold war ended, the shackles which prevented these conflicts from blowing up were removed.

Kosovo  We were told to only stand on what looked like old pavement because there were mines everywhere. There were mines in the corn fields. Cobs of corn had plastic explosives in them. When someone picked that cob of corn they would loose an arm or a leg. They would be maimed. The most serious thing I saw was in a schoolyard. The children had all gone into the school.

Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty Implementation Act  The threat is still there. We lived through all the years of the cold war. There were no nuclear explosions because one counteracted the other. We are still in that position. We are not in a cold war situation. We might say it is a bit hotter war right now.

Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty Implementation Act  The world's stockpile of nuclear weapons, estimated at 36,000 warheads, represents over 700 times the explosive power used in all the three major wars of this century which killed 44 million people. It has been since the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that the world has had to live with nuclear weapons.

Judges Act  In delivering the sentence he also forbade those two young fellows who killed the elderly couple from possessing firearms and explosives for five years. Now is that not a dandy? In another two years they will be able to have explosives. This country has seen it all. I am very concerned, as are my colleagues, about the relevance of politics in the judiciary today, the consequences of which are bad judicial decisions.

The Late Hon. Lucien Lamoureux  Mr. Lamoureux carried it off with the usual aplomb, balance and calm. It could have been an explosive time, particularly in February 1968 when the Pearson government lost a vote at third reading on a financial bill. After much representation from all sides, Speaker Lamoureux was able to avoid disorder until adjournment hour at 10.00 p.m., a statement to his ability, rationale and his great knowledge of the rules.

Canada Small Business Financing Act  The professor warned that governments were relying increasingly on profit insensitive taxes; taxes and charges that were not related to whether the business was succeeding or failing, but were demanded of the business owners regardless. We have seen in recent years an explosion of user fees, which are not by themselves a bad thing. That is, they are not bad if the fee goes to the service being charged in the first place. This government is not alone in preferring to pour all of its revenues into one basket, but it has a lot to answer for in many areas.

Canada Small Business Financing Act  Speaker, just a few weeks ago, at the end of August, we all witnessed how volatile and unpredictable economic forces can be. Stock markets and national currencies were whiplashed overnight during a sudden explosive global crisis of confidence. Fortunately it was short-lived panic, but at times like this every sector of the economy feels vulnerable. Particularly vulnerable to cyclical economic shifts are small and medium size businesses.

Starred Questions  Also, personnel serving onboard ship must have clothing that minimizes injuries in the event of an explosion or fire. Disciplanary Reasons High standards of dress, deportment, and grooming are universally recognized as marks of a well trained, disciplined and professional force. Commanders must maintain the standards at all times to reinforce these characteristics for peace and war.
