Business of Supply  . Our position is clear. Before proceeding with a single Canadian securities commission, we should refer this question to the Supreme Court to determine whether that is constitutionally possible.

Justice committee  Taking judicial notice isn't much different from what I am saying now. The only thing is it's going to be less clear. You're still going to end up with litigation because the defence will be able to say, “Well, you can't take judicial notice of it. What are you basing

Justice committee   me right now. You're quite right, Mr. Mainella testified that in some cases, as I think he described it, he'd say to the police, “If you don't have an expert on gangs, then forget it, I'm not going to bother prosecuting.” Both of them were quite clear that it's not the main hurdle

National Defence committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Arctic sovereignty is best if defended with a clear and consistent policy supported by the appropriate resources in order to demonstrate one's national interest and sovereignty. Mr. Davidson, given the level of Canada's search and rescue program

Foreign Affairs committee   to be able to accept that motion, but to accept another motion.... That's why we put in the 48-hour rule. Yes, I need a motion to go public from in camera.

Foreign Affairs committee   was not making it clear at that given time that he would be putting forward a motion. Now, we do not mind if, because of that thing, he was going to put an argument and wanted to say on the record why he was doing that.

There's no concern here for me about getting it from staff now. My concern is about the fact that it took

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, my Bloc Québécois colleagues and I support this motion because we believe it is critically important for elected officials to make their position clear to the government and the CRTC. Providing locally or regionally produced news services must be part

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, in the case of Mr. Smith raised by the hon. member, the government will be subject to the decision of the courts, but in all other cases, and I will be very clear on this, clemency is not an obligation. It must be earned. We will study each appeal for clemency

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I was able to do a good job of reading my notes because I had carefully watched the member for Honoré-Mercier read his. I even asked for a stand so that, for the first time, I could do what he does. It is very clear that the government wants to send the message

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, that is not the case. Our plan is clear. We are investing in green energy and in green technologies. We will reach our target, our objective of 20% by 2020. Before we go to Copenhagen, our government will release its policy on greenhouse gas emissions. When we come

Renewable Energy  Mr. Speaker, with oil prices climbing back up it is clear that Canada must take serious action to develop renewable energy technologies. Instead of shifting funding away from wind energy and toward uncertain carbon capture and storage technologies, the government could take
