International Trade committee   on the Standing Committee on International Trade, the interest was huge, because they're all interested in doing more business with us. By the way, we do business with them. Let's be clear; we trade with every country in the world in varying degrees--except for Canadian beef in Jordan

Finance committee  I appreciate that you can say that. It's clear that you have permanent employment, if you can say such a thing. Ms. Di Vito, have you consulted with the government about your RRSP rollover idea? I think being able to roll RRSPs over to our children tax-free is an idea worth

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  This is a really important question, and one that I hope I'll be able to provide an answer to that makes clear the distinction between what you're asking--between Bill C-3 and the exploratory process. I do not necessarily see the two as existing in isolation. I view Bill C-3

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee   is in everybody's best interests. Specific to Bill C-3, I think it's important I get on the record that Bill C-3, of course, would not preclude further legislation. At the same time, I heard you loud and clear when you said that long-term solutions do not lie in further tinkering

International Trade committee   consulted at any stage around Canada-Jordan, and if so how? We had some discussions with departmental officials a couple of days ago, and it didn't seem clear at all that there were any consultations, even with some of the key export sectors that would be impacted by the agreement

Public Safety committee  Yes, he has personally made that very clear.

Jobs and Economic Growth Act   and pensions, but it is not very clear. However, there are bills in this House that talk about how we should fix it. We can do that. The unfunded liabilities and pensions is a budget issue. I have something to read to my colleagues, which I know my good friend from Bonavista—Gander—Grand

Public Safety committee   may ask? When I spoke to a large gathering of Alberta-based RCMP members several weeks ago, it was clear to me that from the commissioner on down, the RCMP shares the perspective that strengthened oversight is essential to RCMP credibility. In terms of my vision for the CPC

Health  Mr. Speaker, throughout all this obfuscation, one thing is clear. The government's sudden reversal is a blow to Winnipeg, a blow to Canada, and a blow to the people whose lives depend on a breakthrough in vaccine development. Will the government at least guarantee that the $88

Access to Information  Mr. Speaker, it has become very clear that the Prime Minister wants to keep Canadians in the dark. He has decided to impose a culture of secrecy and to govern against the will of Canadians by covering up the truth. Thirteen departments received below average marks or completely

Afghanistan  Mr. Speaker, again, nothing was confirmed. It was alleged. Let us be clear. Each and every time in these instances, Canadian Forces leadership can only transfer prisoners if they are satisfied on the ground that there is no real risk that a transferred prisoner would

Afghanistan  Mr. Speaker, our troops certainly deserve better than drive-by smears, allegations, non-specific references to their performance. I want to be clear. When the Canadian Forces have specific information or allegations, they act, they follow all international obligations

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, the allegations made by the member opposite are quite preposterous. Let me be very clear. Last Thursday evening, serious allegations were brought to the attention of the Prime Minister. He acted immediately. He brought the issue to the RCMP. He also notified

Afghanistan   to the Afghan authorities were tortured. Everybody knew, everybody knows that this is what was happening and is happening. It cannot be cleared up by the government investigating itself. Therefore, when are we going to get the action that is required, a full inquiry? Our troops deserve

Jobs and Economic Growth Act   it. When will the current government get on board? However, I wish to focus particularly on part 20 of this bill. There is clear intent in this part to erase environmental considerations from all federal stimulus spending and to emasculate the remainder of federal reviews. The proposed
