Environment committee  I think that would be valuable. Certainly I have pursued, over many years, trying to get clarity on the question of the Fisheries Act, just historically where it has been much more vague. It is quite clear now. If you wanted to put in a provision to say, for instance

Public Safety committee   all have, regardless of whether you are sitting in a cell or I am sitting home on the couch with my wife now, is that we all want that day to come when we have no more biases, no more raised eyebrows, and our records have been cleared.

Environment committee  Okay. I'm not quite clear on civil actions. There is already a right to private prosecution here in Canada, is there not? Somebody can take another private entity to court for breaking an environmental law, and so on. That exists. So why do we need to talk about civil action

Environment committee  , and vague on whether they know what they're doing or why they're doing it. Some have always been there--they're legacy issues. It is easier to audit and present to Parliament when there are clear objectives, timelines, and goals that a government has ascribed in a program. We

Citizenship and Immigration committee   defeat it, for several reasons. First, I think that we have to make it clear to the government that it must stop using the short titles of bills as vehicles for its political marketing. Nowhere else in the bill is any kind of opinion expressed. The focus is on the legal aspects

Environment committee  . In fact, to be very clear, and thank you for the question, it breaks down very quickly and it is quite different. The civil action envisaged under the provincial Environmental Bill of Rights is quite focused on allowing public nuisance claims, which is something that is set down

Public Safety committee   a clear criminal record. By asking on their application form, “Have you ever been convicted of a crime for which you have not received a pardon?”, these companies recognize that potential employees with criminal records can rehabilitate. They will hire ex-offenders if they have proven

Environment committee  Just to be clear, then, you don't see any really new and adventuresome parts to this act, based on your experience?

Public Safety committee   to have my name cleared, is a tremendous carrot. It's a tremendous piece of motivation to keep me moving forward, to keep my eye on the prize. As I said, I'm not unique. I might be a bit of an overachiever, but I guarantee you there are plenty of others like me out there, people who

Citizenship and Immigration committee  So if this motion is withdrawn, it is your intention, through the regulation, given that the minister in his letter said to strengthen disclosure--it just wasn't clear as to what the strengthening means--to say that if you don't disclose, then you're not complying with the act

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee   reside at the transportation level, but if you look at the report, and particularly at our 2009 income statement information, we actually operated at a slight net loss on the Old Crow segment. For this reason, we want to make it very clear that this isn't really a profit-generating

Citizenship and Immigration committee   the foreign national in connection with an application under this Act. This is a suggestion from some of the witnesses we've heard to make it clear that they have to be public and tell us on the application if they are using a paid service. If their daughter or a relative fills

Food Safety  Mr. Speaker, Conservative talking points are wearing thin. Canadians are demanding clear answers, not this kind of misleading rhetoric. The minister and CFIA admitted the report by PricewaterhouseCoopers was a review, not a resources audit. The Weatherill report clearly said

Supply Management  Mr. Speaker, the government's position in the context of our trade negotiations is clear. We defend our system of supply management. We believe it is a legitimate system that provides great benefits to Canadian consumers and Canadian agricultural producers. That is the position
