It is quite clear that even if this exception were to be brought into the Act tomorrow morning, it would not affect disputes that have been ongoing for more than two years. That is why we say that what is needed is an exception

Government Operations committee  Yes. We looked at it, and we thought the technology was good, but it was clear that the way Mr. Gillani was modelling his business, there was no way our business was going to go in that direction. We don't raise money to take companies public. We don't do any of this work. So

Government Operations committee   perhaps--perhaps it was puffery--that you had a very successful meeting, and that he did want to do business with you, and in fact that the doors to the PMO had been opened for him. When did you clear that up?

Human Resources committee  Did you get that? Personally, I had trouble following the translation. In any case, it is clear to us that EI benefits paid to workers who have lost their jobs are intended, first and foremost, to allow them to avoid going bankrupt. As we have often said, it is a highly

Government Operations committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Mr. Jaffer, not even an hour ago, I asked you specifically if it stated on your website that you would be able to secure support from the Canadian government. You said that it didn't. You made it absolutely clear. I don't think there's anybody

Status of Women committee  , yes, in some cases it definitely will be giving aboriginal women the right to some of the matrimonial property. That's clear. But in our minds, it will more protect the rights of women who are not eligible for registration in that community. Whether that's a good thing or whether

We'd actually have to engage in another motion to study B.C. aquaculture issues. It's just so we're all clear. You know

That dispute, which lasted more than a year, ultimately had a happy ending, because the employer made a commitment to keep its technicians and bought another fleet of vehicles. So, there was a happy outcome

Afghanistan committee   as the ambassador, or as the director general, as I am now in my job, it's there because I'm going to edit it to make it more clear, to make it more focused. That's all that was involved. That's standard operating procedure. The main point of that document was that a certain international

Agriculture committee   experience between one end of the country and the other. My best piece of advice for the next-generation farmer is to think ahead and build a strong business plan. My reason for that is fairly clear: plans do not always come to fruition, but the people who plan are closer to their goals

Government Operations committee  That's not the process. Just so you're clear--

Human Resources committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. First of all, I want to say that I like the bill. From your presentation, it has been very clear that the people who are on strike and then subsequently return to work and are fired or let go or the company shuts down, or what have you, shouldn't

Afghanistan committee   was responsible during my time there for the very clear objectives that you have set out--there was a difference to me between people making reports and accusations and allegations and finding out what the evidence was.
