Human Rights  Mr. Speaker, the assertions of the hon. member in his premise are absolutely wrong. The Prime Minister has spoken out vigorously on human rights in China during his current visit in his meetings with the Chinese premier. He will continue to do so and maintain this dialogue

Ethics Counsellor  Mr. Speaker, I have to reject the premise of the hon. member's question. As I understand it, the ethics commissioner, Mr. Wilson, made some proposals, only, to the Prime Minister for his consideration. The Prime Minister has joined with business people from all over Canada

Ethics Counsellor   in praise of Mr. Wilson, so there is no basis for that unwarranted slur on him now just because he has not turned into a tame tabby cat for the opposition. The premise of the question is wrong. The ethics counsellor did not find that the Prime Minister did anything wrong. It was just

Lumber Industry  Mr. Speaker, I was not questioning any of my colleagues, I was questioning the Leader of the Opposition. I think I should do so again for the mistaken premise of his question. There is no threat or action on countervail against Canada on this matter. He is well ahead of himself

Cinar  Mr. Speaker, I categorically reject the ridiculous premises of the hon. member. The government is assuming its responsibilities in this situation, but the rules of parliament prevent us from commenting on an individual tax file.

Minister Of Industry  Mr. Speaker, the province of Alberta, when the Leader of the Opposition was part of that government, lost $441 billion on only one company. I think the Alliance ought to have some modesty in trying to raise these kinds of questions without sound premises. By the way, so far

Auditor General's Report  Mr. Speaker, I reject completely the totally unfounded premise of the hon. member's question. When it is a matter of trust, I suggest that whenever Canadians are asked to make their judgment at the ballot box they will agree that this government has earned the trust

Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency  Mr. Speaker, as usual the premise to the hon. member's question is wrong. The minister is doing a terrific job for all Canadians. Why does the hon. member not explain that when his leader was a minister in the Alberta government he funnelled $8 million in assistance

Health  Mr. Speaker, I reject the premise and the innuendo of the hon. member's questions. They are both wrong. Speaking of taxpayers' money, taxpayers seem to be willing to pay for the nonsense the member expresses in her questions by paying her salary. Why does she not withdraw

Aboriginal Affairs  Mr. Speaker, from my knowledge of the matter, the premise of the hon. leader's question is not accurate. I have been told that in at least 70% or more of the cases, the claimants are suing not just the federal government but they are also suing various churches directly. I

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, the premise of the hon. member's question is wrong, wrong, wrong. The minister did not attend a fundraiser for this group. He attended a cultural event involving the celebration of the Tamil new year. I do not know why the member of the Alliance Party, on behalf

Health  Mr. Speaker, the premise of the hon. member's question is totally wrong. There is no such deal. We have said clearly that we do not agree with bill 11. We said clearly that we will monitor what is done or not done with respect to the actual use of the bill. We put $4 million

Airline Industry  Mr. Speaker, the premise of the hon. member's question is wrong. She should not be raising suggestions which could inhibit the parties in reaching an early settlement through collective bargaining. Why does she not act constructively in this matter for a change?

Human Resources Development  Mr. Speaker, the hon. member's question is based on faulty premises, the kinds of insinuations and innuendoes that led to the very valid point made yesterday by the parliamentary secretary.

Human Resources Development  Mr. Speaker, if there is any horror it is in the unsubstantiated premise of my hon. friend. What the auditor general said about the six point plan, the final version, in his appearance before the standing committee, was that the action plan prepared by the department
