It is clear that a majority of Colombians support this free trade agreement. Of all the Colombians mainstream political parties, only one opposes these free trade agreements, whether

Committees of the House   is well funded. He will bring us back the respect from our American allies and our friends around the world. The country is losing the respect we have had with our American colleagues. We need to build it back and we will build it back under the Canadian Alliance with Stephen Harper

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, the way these cases are being handled poses some very serious questions about the positive obligations of the Canadian government. I would like to ask the minister to turn his attention once again to the Abdelrazik case. It is very clear from the information

Health committee   had to call the supplier directly. I think your job is very clear in terms of letting people know what's available, how it's coming, and whatever. Yesterday, I asked the minister if she would be able to table with the committee the source and supply of all 245 sites

Action Plan for the National Capital Commission   was very clear about the need for protection. In fact, one of the recommendations that he made to the government of the day was to make sure that there were boundaries and protection but for reasons, as I mentioned, of politics.

Beyond specific aspects of governance and regulatory policies, there is a deeper and a more fundamental problem of public acceptance. Only you in the political arena can help with this problem.
