The agency, in its work around inspection and increasing inspection capacity, has made this a very clear area of focus. When we speak

Transport committee  So I will do it. This is the Minister, Benoît Pelletier, and the former Minister, Claude Béchard, who was responsible for this issue in the Government of Quebec. For those listening, and so what we are saying will be clear, I am going to read the following document. The letter

Natural Resources committee  That's not my area of expertise, but I think Canada's energy security is certainly enhanced when we have a clear picture of our reserves and our energy potential. How the Government of Canada matches that up with security is really up to the elected officials.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, what is quite clear is that the member read the wrong speech today. He read a speech based on a different sale. It is driving him crazy that the 13 Saskatchewan members in the Conservative caucus have been able to do more since 2006 than the member and his party

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, of course not. The point is that the government has been trying on this issue to have it all ways to Sunday and not to be clear with Canadians about where it wanted to go. We heard that in the answer that was given by the Prime Minister two weeks ago yesterday when

It's only now becoming clear that there are discussions between the Government of Quebec, the Government of New Brunswick, the Government of P.E.I., and the federal government over shared jurisdiction.

Government Operations committee  They didn't know that if they closed they wouldn't qualify? It wasn't clear as to who would or wouldn't qualify? They said if you show us the last few years' business and you show...? Is that the case? It's very confusing.
