We are committed to the infrastructure, to the borders, and to helping them become a country that can provide for their own security

Afghanistan committee  . The Pakistani army is launching another front in Bannu. The desire of Pakistan's government to deal with the Taliban once and for all is clear. I see that as a very important development. In the next report, you should focus on priority 4. I would also like to hear your thoughts on what

Afghanistan committee  . There is hope in the fact that they are members of Parliament, but they need support. So, when something like the Shia law situation occurs, it is important that we, in the west, make our views heard loud and clear and that we support these women.

They made it clear to me that they want to make sure that Canada remains on a solid footing and that we continue to be a compassionate, caring country. Our veterans fought for that. They are relying on all of us

Business of Supply  -provincial-territorial finance ministers meeting, confirmed that once again. As I said earlier, this is arm's-length from government so there is no political interference at all, either provincially or federally. A joint jurisdiction reviews this. We want that to be very clear
