Transport  Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transport. Smoke in the cockpits of airplanes continues to be a problem. The FAA just produced a study in the U.S. called “Aging Transport Non-Structural Systems Plan”. It says that a more complete description of undesirable wiring

Aircraft Safety  Mr. Speaker, I believe there is ample evidence now that there could be a hazard with kapton wiring. In fact the minister of defence has ordered that the kapton wiring be removed from some of his aircraft. In 1987 the American airforce removed it from some of its aircraft and sinc

Aircraft Safety  Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transport. Since the horrible crash of Swissair Flight 111 off Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia there have been several cases of emergency landings in Canada due to smoke in the cockpit, including another one just last night in St. John

The Late Donald Munro  Mr. Speaker, in rising to mark the passing of Donald Munro I first want to express the sympathy of the members of the Progressive Conservative caucus to Mrs. Munro and her family on their loss. Donald was elected to represent the Vancouver Island constituency of Esquimalt—Saanic

Justice  Mr. Speaker, seven years ago James Mills was murdered while a prisoner of the federal prison in Renous, New Brunswick. Yes, he was convicted of a crime but he was not condemned to death. For seven years the Mills family has waited for justice to be served. For seven years the fi

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, it is my pleasure and honour to present a petition from the people in Stewiacke area of Nova Scotia. They call for the repeal of Bill C-68. They say and rightly so that it is a waste of hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayers' mon

Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would say the opposite is true. The hon. member asked whether I was aware there were other areas than Cumberland—Colchester like Windsor. I think the government is not aware that there are other areas such as Toronto, Mississauga, Windsor and maybe even Ottawa. The

Supply  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the question. Certainly our municipal police are hired but some of the things the government is doing, such as the gun registry, are going to take so much of their time. Instead of being on the street they are going to be registering firearms, implementi

Supply  Mr. Speaker, I have been reminded during that little interruption that I am dividing my time with the hon. member for South Shore. I neglected to say that at the beginning. In any case, we are back to the Mills family who have lost their son who was in the custody of Corrections

Supply  Mr. Speaker, I too would like to take a moment to point out that the question was very explicitly asked three times and no answer was forthcoming. I want to take a different turn on the justice discussion. Quite often the justice system seems so gigantic, so distant and so impre

Supply  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. This is a justice discussion and we are not talking about elections and things like that. We are off track. We should bring the debate back to justice.

Supply  Mr. Speaker, I have a couple of brief questions for the hon. member. I have watched the estimate of the cost of this firearms control effort rise from an estimated $85 million to what it is now being estimated at, which is $133.9 million just for this year alone. That estimate w

Hepatitis C  Mr. Speaker, no matter how many times I read this letter it says the same thing. It says “An agreement has been reached for individuals with hepatitis C who were infected between January 1984 and 1990”. It says an agreement between the provincial, territorial and federal minister

Hepatitis C  Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health. I have a letter from the hon. Russell MacLellan, premier of the province of Nova Scotia, a former parliamentary secretary. In this letter he says “The provincial, territorial and federal ministers of health have met on hepa

Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation And Safety Board Act  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to give my views on Bill S-2. We have been provided with a book on this bill which we have reviewed as best we could. We have contacted as many people as we could, including officials of the transportation safety board to find out their views on it. As
