Department of Human Resources and Skills Development Act   compensation. Why? Simply because they did not get infected on the right day. This policy was beyond simple discrimination. It was a blatant example of political indifference toward those who are often too sick to fight for themselves. When members of this House voted against extending

Health  Mr. Speaker, six years ago the Liberal government voted against an opposition motion to compensate all the victims of hepatitis C. For six years these victims were left to fend for themselves while the government racked up huge profits from the interest on the hepatitis C

Act to establish the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec   of the revenues from a major resource, and the very party that stresses provincial ownership and responsibility voted against the resolution. How does the member account for the fact that his party did not support a sister province in looking for what his province is constantly looking for?

An Act to establish the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec  Madam Speaker, the hon. member is correct. The people did read this party correctly and that is why 64% of Canadians voted against the Liberal Party in the last election. The Canadian people understand that their money is just that; it is their money. They can invest and spend

Committees of the House   seat today and vote against a motion in the House that would urge him to do exactly what he said he wanted to do. I find that amazing. From my hon. colleague's perspective, what does she think the minister's motive was in doing what he did just a few seconds ago in the House? I

Committees of the House   stood in their places and voted against that compensation package with tears in the their eyes. That is correct. In fact the Minister of Public Safety today is one of those members who stood in her place and was forced by the Prime Minister of Canada to vote down a compensation

Assistance to Hepatitis C Victims   were not comfortable in voting against that motion. At the time, the government did a full-court press to get all the government members here. I happened to be in Europe with the Minister of International Trade and the minister for international financial institutions, who is now

Assistance to Hepatitis C Victims   when members were forced by the government of the day to stand up and vote against compensating all victims. I know it was a tough vote for members on that side. As the House knows, I was here in the House at the time and some of the members broke down in tears during the vote

Assistance to Hepatitis C Victims   were forced to vote against it with tears in their eyes, knowing full well the harm that they were causing the victims who remained outside the compensation window. They knew what they were doing was wrong and they have had to live with themselves ever since. These are good people

Contraventions Act   people to escape accountability and liability for their actions with regard to impaired driving. Liberals voted against that bill. I think their major reason for opposing that bill, in all honesty, was because it would have offended some defence lawyers, who make a good living

Tlicho Land Claims and Self-Government Act   to renegotiate. On this whole third order of government, I very vividly recall the Charlottetown accord referendum. I can say that the people in my riding voted overwhelmingly against it. In fact I think the strongest no vote against Charlottetown in Canada was Prince George—Peace River

Tlicho Land Claims and Self-Government Act   constitution. However the constitution states that it prevails over everything else. It is like a big circle. Those are my major arguments for not supporting the legislation. I cannot support the bill with clause 5, and I encourage all members of this place to vote against the bill.

Tlicho Land Claims and Self-Government Act   I think is very apparent on a close reading of this agreement, is that there seem to be multiple definitions of how to determine paramountcy in the event of conflict. For these reasons, I will be voting against the bill.

Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act   definitely looks at my bill in committee. I will allow it to liberally steal from my bill as much as it has been stealing part and parcel from the platform of the Conservative Party. I believe the bill will be amended in committee, otherwise I would be forced to vote against the bill

Criminal Code   for police and parents in protecting children at that vulnerable age. I was not the one who made the decision to vote against that motion, so let me say that if the shoe fits, wear it. I am very disappointed, quite honestly, that some of the people in the gallery who report on our
