Province Of Quebec  . Is it therefore the intention of the Government of Canada to make it clear to the government of Quebec and to Mr. Parizeau that this Parliament has the sole legal right and the sole jurisdiction in areas such as boundaries, native affairs, citizenship, currency, international treaties

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, these guidelines are absolutely clear. Is the Prime Minister's version of responsibility that he has no responsibility for his own guidelines, no responsibility for his ministers, no responsibility for his own statements? Is it the Mulroney version

Criminal Code   to uphold the Constitution. I would also note that politically there would be considerable advantage for it to make clear to the people of Quebec that when they are being told that separation can be achieved unilaterally that this is legally untrue. In fact, it would also be political

Non-Confidence Motions   to such a ridiculous proposition from the point of view of their own constituents. That should clear up some of the misconceptions raised about free voting and about what it means. Voting freely, which we favour and which we have advocated, is not that we would vote stupidly as the member

Justice  Mr. Speaker, Canadians are clear in their belief that the number one solution to these problems is in the criminal justice system. One in four Canadians reports having been the victim of crime in the past two years; 44 per cent of Canadians have taken measures to protect

Justice  Mr. Speaker, Canadians are clear that one of the, if not the root cause of crime is the criminal himself. We expect to see that addressed. Yesterday, the separatist member for Saint-Hubert referred to the unanimous opposition of Quebec's so-called experts on crime to minor

Justice  , in Quebec, 74 per cent say that the system is too permissive and only 2 per cent say that it is too strict. My question is for the Minister of Justice. What concrete measures will the minister be introducing to address these very clear concerns of Canadians about the criminal justice

Supply   and the decline of the Senate as an effective political institution. Later all provinces, even the large provinces, have found problems in the federation as an increasingly unbalanced federal spending power has been able to override clear areas of provincial jurisdiction. This breakdown

Budget Implementation Act   the federal share of costs of CAP has decreased from 50 per cent to 29 per cent. This is one anomaly. Another is in the case of Quebec. This is an area that has been brought to my attention for not being clear in the bill. In the area of CAP, Quebec operates under a bilateral tax

Borrowing Authority Act, 1994-95   is encouraging other levels of government also to borrow additional money to fund new infrastructure projects. What does infrastructure include? There are traditional and clear economic definitions of what an infrastucture program is. Infrastructure is not simply investment or capital

Prince Edward Island Fixed Link   in a partisan sense than we see today, much more diverse in a regional sense, and much more diverse in the sense of personality and importance of the various senior ministers. The original Senate was selected by a government in which party lines were not as clear as they are today

Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements And Federal Post-Secondary Education And Health Contributions Act   think there are problems in the formula? Maybe some time down the road we should study the formula and come up with a more fair one that is easier for people to understand and a little more clear in the kinds of results it produces. I would be interested in his views on some

Points Of Order  I rise on a point of order, Mr. Speaker. As a new member who perhaps is not clear on the rules, I would like to ask your judgment or guidance on a matter originating from Question Period. We had today and we have had in the past situations where I have noticed ministers reading

Pre-Budget Consultations   per cent deficit to GDP by the end of this Parliament. I cannot understand the clear rationale for that. I can tell the House that even if that objective were achieved by this government that is a target above the annual trend growth rate of this country. In other words even
