Official Languages committee  I think this is now clear, so let's move on with the last speaker of this round, which is you, Mr. Godin.

Health committee  , which is that vaccines are the only answer. The world has changed. It's very clear, as I pointed out in my presentation, that antivirals have been the only tool we've had to use to combat HIV in the last 20 years, so a comprehensive approach... I understand that there are research

Transport committee   year the Minister of State for Transport, through a question in the House, asked me to apologize for talking about aviation safety and bringing up questions on aviation safety. We've since seen the government change its tune on that. The evidence is pretty clear. Do you accept

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. If you'll pardon the pun, I would like to just kind of clear the air on the wind power generation. I'm not an expert in this field, but it's my understanding that of all the clean power sources, wind energy, from the point of view of cost efficiency

Health committee   of the strategies to address the global HIV/AIDS pandemic. It is clear to most in the field that the recent disappointments from clinical trials of HIV vaccines are simply revealing our collective ignorance of the complexities of the interaction between the HIV virus and the human immune

Transport committee  Thank you for the question. I'm not clear as to what I was misquoted on, but I did write the article that the member refers to. I am being quoted accurately; yes, I did write that. In terms of SMS--that we did nothing--I would contend, Mr. Chair, that SMS was an integral part

Natural Resources committee  You have seven carbon capture and storage projects. You have no doubt read many of the criticisms on this issue, saying that this is at the exploratory stage and that it is not clear what results it will produce. Do you not feel that this is a rather hefty investment

Industry committee   test really says to stand back, look, and ask who really is running this thing. It is pretty clear from all the evidence that Orascom is running it. It's all their money, all their expertise, and all their brand. So we think the government made a mistake in overturning the decision

Health committee   priority is acceleration of HIV vaccine development for Africa. We are in close discussions with our Canadian colleagues about funding priorities, moving forward with a clear focus on accelerating the development of an HIV vaccine. The foundation will fulfill its funding pledge to our

Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  , but I take my own counsel at the end of the day, because I am accountable and responsible for the advice I give and for how I address public health issues. I want to make that absolutely clear. For the future, for any person in this role, it's essential to have that independence

Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  Indeed there is. Agriculture and CFIA deal with the food and the food investigation; we deal with the human health aspects of that. Health Canada does a bit of both. We're fairly clear at the federal level about what those are. One of the communications things we can be clearer

Employment Insurance Act   Bill C-241, as well as the arguments put forward by the parliamentary secretary and the member for Joliette. It should be noted at the outset that subsection 77(1) of the Employment Insurance Act makes it clear that EI benefits are disbursed from the consolidated revenue fund

Human Pathogens and Toxins Act   of Health was almost faced with the embarrassment of having to pull the bill right off the agenda because it was so flawed. Given the almost unanimous concerns we heard from witnesses, it was clear to me that without work by all committee members in a cooperative fashion and without

Human Pathogens and Toxins Act   as theoretical ones. They were in fact present in Bill C-11. Why was a bill, which had so many problems, being pushed through for fast approval at committee? What was clear was the consultation the government should have done with respect to writing the bill to address the risks around

Canadian Heritage committee  Well, there will be a cost. We've been clear on that. You know, this is not the first time we've talked about fee-for-carriage. It was six months ago, I think, that we were in Ottawa in front of the commission talking about fee-for-carriage. A year before that we were in front
