Agriculture  Mr. Speaker, the Deputy Prime Minister can have this laid-back tone, but this is costing the industry millions every day that it is in effect. The government waived the EI waiting period for workers directly affected by SARS in Toronto. On Monday I asked the Prime Minister in th

Agriculture  Mr. Speaker, that kind of hair splitting is not acceptable. Workers in the industry are being directly affected because of the outbreak of mad cow disease. When EI waiting times were eliminated because of the Toronto SARS crisis, they were eliminated for those who were “prevented

House debate  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to speak during the late show this evening regarding a question I asked about employment insurance. We know that in recent years, the Conservatives have never been very eager to help with employment insurance or the issue of pilot projects. It is clear

National Defence committee  I understand that Norway was seriously looking at the Gripen but they changed their minds once the qualitative differences between the F-35 and the Gripen became clear. To what qualitative differences would they be referring?
