That's not against the law, but sometimes it can get murky as to who is referring to whom. I want to be clear

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Merci. I don't have the wording available, but if the committee members wish to suggest any wording, I think the intention would be clear if you wish to have it apply just in the future to all future agreements or contracts with the VACs.

International Trade committee  We spent quite a bit of time on fish, as you might expect, over the course of the negotiations. We made it clear from the beginning that it was one of our primary offensive objectives. It's certainly the number one objective for most of the eastern provinces, and an important

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I understand the notion, but now there's a burden of proof.
