By consequence, OAS will rise from 15¢ on every dollar the federal government spends to 25¢ on every dollar the federal government spends. According to the Macdonald-Laurier

Finance committee  . I want to emphasize again the point that this isn't really a provincial issue. It's like health care. In fact, a lot of the things that Dr. Simpson said are very applicable to child care. It really needs to be done within a kind of overarching policy framework, because what we

Finance committee  Thank you. I'm the executive director of the Childcare Resource and Research Unit. I'm talking about the other end of the age spectrum compared to what Dr. Simpson was talking about, but there are actually a lot of policy similarities. I'm really pleased that you asked me

Health committee  Okay, we thank you for that. You mentioned practising in Wolfville earlier—I think it was Dr. MacDonald. You mentioned quite a percentage that was musculoskeletal—I've forgotten what percentage—but also another range of conditions that you have to get involved in. For full

Health committee  There's one model in Alberta which is the spinal health centre. It was an idea that started, like with many great ideas, over a beer. A chiropractor and his two neurosurgeons were sitting around complaining about their workload. The neurosurgeons said they had a stack of faxes

Health committee   technological innovation. It's a very important study. We have with us from the Canadian Doctors for Medicare, Dr. Danyaal Raza, board member; and from the Public Health Association of BC, Dr. Marjorie MacDonald, president.

Leaside Sports Hall of Fame Inductees  , Cathy Lansdowne, Dr. Ron Taylor, Pete Mahovlich Jr., Erica Gilbert, Lloyd Woods, Dr. Tom Pashby, and Rich Ferguson. Martha McCabe is Leaside's first athlete of the year. She competed in her first Olympic Games, in swimming, at London in 2012 and is preparing for Rio in 2016

National Defence committee  I know that Dr. Bow has particular expertise in Mexico, so I won't steal any limelight other than to say that the Canadian and the American navies are so closely integrated that they can essentially operate together seamlessly, as we do in NORAD, and that they share information

National Defence committee  I guess in this context I remain a pragmatist. Dr. Bow has given you some pretty good ideas about what could be done differently, and I would have argued, when NORTHCOM was set up in the States that NORAD could have piggybacked onto that opportunity to make more than NORAD
