Agriculture committee  It is an issue that we are well aware of. Looking at Statistics Canada data and subtracting the value of quotas from the balance sheet of the milk industry, for example, it is quite clear that there would be a loss of a significant part of the net value. This would probably also

Government Operations committee  Nor would I abuse my wife's resources in any capacity. What had happened, and where the confusion had developed, was after the last election, as you know, we had two weeks to clear my office here in Centre Block. I had no place, I had no office set up, no place to set anything

Government Operations committee  Maybe you should wait for that, because obviously you're not the judge and jury, Mr. Martin. But I think it will be clear that we haven't done anything wrong. As I mentioned throughout this exchange today, that's not the nature of our business. You can allege from any reports

Government Operations committee  As I said, I'll go back to my opening statement, because I think it's clear that--

Human Resources committee  Fellow colleague, Mr. André, I want to come back to a question that was raised earlier by Mr. Komarnicki. He was at least moving into that territory. In Bill C-395, it's clear that you want employees to get benefits during a lockout period. To reframe, rephrase, or repeat

Government Operations committee  Just so that I'm completely clear, I haven't seen it, but it was reported that on your website at one point it said that you would be able to secure support from the Canadian government.

The Government of Afghanistan had a clear official policy prohibiting torture and abuse of prisoners, but we were also aware, Mr. Chairman, of gaps

Keeping Canadians Safe (International Transfer of Offenders) Act   anything for the victims but they are going to put people in prison. If this keeps up, soon the Conservatives will reinstate the death penalty. That would solve their problem and it would cost less. They are going to lock people up and throw away the key. It is not clear whether

Status of Women committee   the best means possible, bringing clear focus and attention to this issue, including making authorities more accountable for their actions. It is our position that such a plan would, first, recognize violence faced by indigenous women; second, work to build an effective and unbiased

Afghanistan committee   no illusion about the possibility of mistreatment within Afghan detention facilities, we made crystal clear to the most senior Afghan government officials the importance Canada attaches to the proper treatment of detainees that we turned over to their authorities. We had received strong

Government Operations committee   found it unusual that the committee wanted to speak to us, as our business does not conduct any lobbying activities, nor do we attempt to secure any public funding for our work.
