Justice committee  We'll just take a minute break while the room clears out, and then we have some items of business to discuss in camera. [Proceedings continue in camera]

Justice committee   understand the situation that is happening in our society and the cases that are coming before them, this will never be resolved. We need the commitment of judges. We can do everything else, but if it comes to the court of law and the judge does not recognize the present and clear

Foreign Affairs committee   are suggesting this approach. I find it riskier because the issue of where the border lies will inevitably come up again. In the St. Lawrence or Great Lakes, the Canada-U.S. border is clearly delineated. In the High North, however, it's not clear. So I'm cautious about that model. I prefer

Information & Ethics committee   that is not often sought by public bodies, but it is one we've certainly been prepared to use in those cases where there is clearly an abuse. That's not to suggest, I should be clear, that the situation vis-à-vis three or four requesters, whoever these people might be federally, is an abuse

Foreign Affairs committee  -S, calling for a negotiated settlement. It was clear what was happening in Afghanistan was in fact a civil war that was going on that had never been resolved properly. On September 11, the war on terrorism was laid over the top of it. Really, what we needed to do was to address

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes. Just very briefly then, I think it's clear that the U.S. is going to be moving down this road. At the same time, there's going to be a buildup of troops there. They are going to open up a diplomatic front. That is the tone that's being put forward. Canada should actively

Justice committee   not become a war. When it comes to personally supporting legislation, I have always been very clear and up front in supporting being tough on crime, irrespective of which party brought in the legislation. On the other hand, I have always advocated for more police and community resources

Information & Ethics committee  My clear sense of the proportion of actual cost that is recovered from fees is that it is minimal. Certainly it's not substantial. I think that's for a variety of reasons. Some public bodies--and we do cover over 2,000 of them, at all levels in British Columbia--simply have

National Defence committee   is out there to all those organizations. To clear up something that maybe I misunderstood, carrying on with Mr. Bagnell's point, am I correct in saying that there is no policy that gives blanket authority to the navy to dump the kind of material we're talking about?

Justice committee   this is very important, because today there is a clear need for an institute of criminal bench in B.C. at the Supreme Court level and in each province in order to ensure that judges presiding over criminal crime trials, often for murders and violent offences involving organized crimes

National Defence committee   wanted to make sure I was clear on the training centre. It wasn't my question, but you said that the training centre will have a few staff for a few months of the year. Is that correct?

Information & Ethics committee  . That is a clear reversal of policy, and that is a major step.

Information & Ethics committee   expects to get everything they want quickly. It does take some time. But I believe that 20 years of study is quite long enough, and the global standards are very clear.

Foreign Affairs committee   emphasized a number of times by our American counterparts. The Prime Minister will first of all have to propose to the President that we re-establish annual summits. The agenda is clear, but we must move beyond the incrementalism and irritants management that have characterized the recent

National Defence committee   of countries, so there's not a lot of stuff that's blank in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. Personally, I think that some of the projections about conflict and what not over resources may be a little bit exaggerated at the moment. As I said, there's a very clear international legal
