Canadian Council on Learning   before and the government increased Canada's summer jobs by 3,500, less than 3% of the jobs lost. The government has turned its back on students, on child care, on literacy and the CCL. The results are going to be clear. Is that why it is trying to kill CCL, to hide its own

Maternal and Child Health  Mr. Speaker, as we have made clear, we will be focused, as we lead the G8 discussion on child and maternal health, on how to save the lives of mothers and children around the world. We have clearly said that we are open to all options to save lives including contraception.

Rights & Democracy  Mr. Speaker, yesterday's disturbing testimony from three fired employees of Rights & Democracy and a shocking op-ed written by a current Conservative-appointed board member make it clear that the Conservatives want to turn this once proud institution into a partisan lapdog

Aboriginal Healing Foundation   to thank the speakers, the questioners, the interested members and the people who have continued to watch all or part of this debate. They have seen a clear demarcation of positions but good will all around. With that, I will say thanks to all and let the member for Vancouver East

Aboriginal Healing Foundation   and Inuit. We have taken clear action to help aboriginal children and their families in areas of priority concern, such as youth suicide and addictions treatment and prevention. Canadians enjoy a relatively high standard of health and well-being, but this is too often not the reality

Aboriginal Healing Foundation  Mr. Speaker, it is very important that we make it clear that everyone in the House is very supportive of the aboriginal communities in taking control of their future and working through these very difficult problems.

Health Canada has made it quite clear that the money in the budget will allow it to continue the services it has always provided. That is its job. It has to. It is a statutory requirement.

To date, the average independent assessment process award is about $125,000 for an individual, and the average future care component is more than $8,000. I believe it is abundantly clear that the Government of Canada is committed to a fair and lasting

To accurately translate the wishes of the people who appeared before us and the sponsor of the bill, perhaps we should have insisted that it be amended in order to make it very clear that any apologies should come from

Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act  . With regard to this trade agreement and others, some have made the argument that just having a free trade agreement will automatically change the human rights profile in the long-term. There is just not clear evidence for that. There is hypothesis for that. We can have a hypothesis

Environment committee  It's clear that any discussion about oil sands development will have to be folded into a broader strategy on climate change/global warming that the Government of Canada and Canadians adopt. What we're trying to say is that rather than focus exclusively on a legitimate set
