Apec Inquiry  Mr. Speaker, I object to the premise of the hon. member's question. Instead of stonewalling, I always try to be helpful to the House in answering questions. Once again we have a confirmation of the Reform Party of its faith in the government. It criticized the government

Apec Inquiry  Mr. Speaker, I reject the premise of the hon. member's question. There is no Liberal scandal. We want to do things properly in this matter. I must add that, while criticizing the government, the member is asking the same government to set up a commission, appoint its members

Apec Inquiry  Mr. Speaker, the premise of the hon. member's question is totally wrong. The Prime Minister has not withheld any audiotapes. The Prime Minister has not tried to scuttle the commission. We want to see the commission do its work. Senior representatives of the Prime Minister's

Apec Inquiry  Mr. Speaker, I have to reject the unwarranted and inaccurate premises of the hon. member's question. This commission as set up by this parliament is independent of the government. It is at arm's length from it. In fact if a commission was set up as demanded by the hon. member

Solicitor General Of Canada  Mr. Speaker, I totally reject the premise of the hon. member's question. Obviously, if the premise is false, there is no reason to ask the minister to resign or for the minister to change jobs.

Solicitor General Of Canada  Mr. Speaker, I reject the unwarranted assertions and the premise of the hon. member's question. I think he ought to give a phone call to his leader to see how he should be carrying out his duties. That is his first task.

Solicitor General Of Canada  Mr. Speaker, the premise of the hon. member's question is unwarranted, as explained by the solicitor general. Therefore the direct answer to the hon. member's question is no.

Apec Summit  Mr. Speaker, I do not accept the premise of the hon. member's question regarding the way the hon. solicitor general has carried out his duties. He is a fine minister and he deserves the support of all members of this House.

Apec Summit  Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is quite wrong in the premise of his question, as usual. The government has not ignored the findings of these other commissions. It has taken them very seriously. I want to say that the commission is not a “so-called independent commission

Apec Summit  Mr. Speaker, I reject the unwarranted premise of the hon. member's question. I know it has been publicly reported that both the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs raised the human rights issue with Suharto in Indonesia itself. That took a lot of guts

Apec Summit  Mr. Speaker, I have to reject the premise of the hon. member's question. The Prime Minister is a vigorous spokesman for human rights. He was the chief protagonist of the charter of rights and freedoms. This should be recognized and the Prime Minister should be praised for his

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, I do not accept the insinuations and premises of the hon. member's question. The minister said on behalf of the government that we want to have a professional and harassment free atmosphere for all members of the Canadian armed services. That is why, following

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, the premise of the hon. member's question is totally wrong. Canada is not aiding and abetting in any way the military use of atomic power. After the Chernobyl disaster it was agreed that it would be wise, in the interest of safety of the civilian populations

Hepatitis C  Mr. Speaker, the premise of the hon. member's question, as usual, is wrong. We are not trying to force the victims to be quiet. We want to have a further discussion with the provincial ministers to see if there can be a new consensus, but we are certainly not trying to force
