That's quite clear, and that has happened here in Canada and in many other countries

Public Safety committee  Thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Minister. Our time has expired. I want to thank you and Ms. Campbell for appearing before the committee. We will suspend for a brief moment and clear the room as we go in camera. [Proceedings continue in camera]

Justice committee  Just so we're clear, Ms. Shaw, could you send that information to the clerk of the committee? Then they'll circulate it to the whole committee, because I would like to see some of those studies as well. I haven't seen the UN drug report, the one that was released in April

Public Safety committee   pretend that the committee doesn't have business that sometimes is trivial in nature. It's part and parcel of being part of a committee. So I want to be very clear that I absolutely agree with the study and I believe we ought to do the study, but at one point or another we have to do

Information & Ethics committee   and the members should take from this a lesson that motions should be very clear and carefully thought out. In this particular case, since we have really made some significant changes, I think it's a motion, even as amended, that the committee still is not very comfortable with and that I'm

Finance committee   this technical issue, but we remain concerned that it may not be achieved.

In any event, members have the right to speak and to say whatever they want, as long as it is relevant to the discussion. It doesn't have to be accurate; that's not a prerequisite.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  The Quebec government has been very clear that they have placed a high priority on housing in Nunavik, as have we.
