Hepatitis C  Mr. Speaker, he is misstating completely. I reject this premise with respect to the position of this or previous governments and the position of the Krever commission. All this material was made available quite freely and openly to the Krever commission. Mr. Justice Krever took

Hepatitis C  Mr. Speaker, I reject the premise of the hon. member's question. We do not think we are voting against anyone. We think we are voting for an agreement which is reasonable in the circumstances, an agreement representing the views of all the provinces as well as the federal

Hepatitis C  Mr. Speaker, I reject the premise of the hon. member's question. We are confident that we will win the vote. In any event I notice that the Reform member did not respond to my quotation of the representative of all the provinces who said he and his party colleagues

Option Canada  Mr. Speaker, first, the question is based on false premises. Second, we know that the Standing Orders do not allow ministers to comment on their previous responsibilities. I repeat, it is too bad, but most Quebeckers and other Canadians support the Canada option and the Bloc

Millennium Celebration  Mr. Speaker, the premise of the hon. member's question is wrong. The red book did not state that possible spending on millennium activities would be limited to $10 million. It spoke of only one commitment: to give $10 million to the Canada Council to commission works of art

Millennium Celebrations  Mr. Speaker, I totally reject the premise of the hon. member's question, but I can assure the House that we comply with the rules of Treasury Board and the auditor general.

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, before one can accept the premise of the hon. member's question I think one would want to check the accuracy of his quotes. The Prime Minister has said, along with the minister of finance, that we are up front in our accounting. We are booking the amounts required

Employment  Mr. Speaker, I must say I question the accuracy of the premise in the hon. member's question about the so-called purple book. In return I ask her to throw away her purple rhetoric and get down to business working with us to help create jobs and a better life for Canadians.

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, I reject the premise of the hon. member's question. In his first question he complained about money likely to be spent for education of young Canadians. Why do he and the Reform Party oppose helping young Canadians get a better education? What do they have against

Bill C-28  Mr. Speaker, first I want to check to see whether the premise of the hon. member's question is factually correct. Second, I repeat my question. Is what he has just asked a sign that the Reform Party is now going to get into some type of ménage à quatre in bed with the NDP

Child Poverty  Mr. Speaker, I reject totally the unwarranted premise and allegation in the hon. member's question. We have been working actively to deal with the issue of child poverty. We intend to continue doing so and we invite the provincial and local governments to join with us

Bill C-28  Mr. Speaker, the premise of the member's question is erroneous, because I am told that Mr. Farber did not say that. There is therefore no serious grounds for the member's question.

Aboriginal Affairs  Mr. Speaker, first of all, the premise, as far as I am aware, of the hon. member's question is wrong. We are aware of only one incident where a letter was leaked. That is the matter of the Starlight letter. This is being thoroughly investigated by an experienced investigator

Airbus  Mr. Speaker, I do not accept the premise of the hon. member's question. The use of the word lying is not one with which we associate ourselves in the context of the question. There is no cover-up. Brian Mulroney himself in the minutes of settlement ending the litigation said

Airbus  Mr. Speaker, I reject the premise of the hon. member's question. There is no cover-up. If the hon. member had his way the Canadian taxpayer would have paid Brian Mulroney $50 million. Because of our negotiations that claim was dropped and that money saved to the Canadian
