Credit Cards  Let me say that I speak in jest, Mr. Chair, just in case someone reading Hansard may take that in all seriousness. In a more practical manner, what can we do to address credit card fraud? Looking at that $200 million, I think if we put more resources into combating and fighting

Credit Cards  Mr. Chair, I am being slightly heckled so I will remind the hon. members across the way that my emphasis in this party is on the noun of the old party's name, not on the adjective, and that is why I am a part of this party. Again, as we point out, all that wasted money that went

Credit Cards  Mr. Chair, I want to make a brief comment and then perhaps the hon. parliamentary secretary could respond. I listened very carefully to the member's speech and was quite interested in it. There was one small discrepancy that I would like to give him the chance to correct. He men

Canada Education Savings Act  Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to my hon. colleague's comments. I think he has a sincere interest in advancing the cause of his constituents and advancing the cause of young people who grew up in poverty and want to get a better and more adequate education. I have a

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I rise to present a petition today on behalf of the people of Saskatchewan from several ridings, including my own, a petition about the modern scientific evidence for mitigation and prevention of disease through the use of natural health products. The petitioners cal

Agriculture  Mr. Speaker, all we have from the government on the live cattle ban is excuses on why the U.S. border will not open. President Bush has come and gone, and still the border remains closed. The Prime Minister has failed our livestock producers again. When will the border open?

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate at least what the government has been attempting to do, and something is better than nothing. I heard the government saying again that there is still some defence of education or art if it is an undue risk. I am not a lawyer, but I have talked to lawyer

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, the reason I am addressing this issue during adjournment proceedings tonight is because of the seriousness of the question. That is not to say that some questions are not serious, but the question I put to the Minister of Justice some time ago dealt with the issue of

Ukraine  Mr. Speaker, it is an important issue that we deal with tonight. As I begin my speech, let me first say that it will not be Churchillian eloquence. It will not be another cross of gold. It will be a speech, as my hon. colleague said, from the heart. First, tonight, as I rise to

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, while all Canadians are already experiencing a winter without NHL hockey, the finance minister is doing his best to end junior hockey in Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan Jr. Hockey League is the only junior hockey league in Canada where the players, through their spon

Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise in the House today in order to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of Bill C-21 respecting not for profit corporations and other corporations without share capital. The bill is also to be known as the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act.

Office of the Auditor General  Mr. Speaker, contrary to what the Treasury Board minister implied just a few minutes ago, yesterday the Auditor General said that she will not be able to do her job because the government is cutting her budget by 15%. Why is the Prime Minister undercutting the Auditor General? I

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, it is a very serious piece of legislation that we deal with here today, which is not to imply that any other legislation is not serious. The core of the legislation, the attempt that is being made in the bill has at its roots an attempt to protect human life, somet

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, I have a comment and then a question for the member. I do not know if the member knows it, but in Saskatchewan we too have steelworkers. IPSCO in Regina is a steel producer. One of the things noted in a newspaper article in the Regina Leader-Post some years ago was

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, I have a couple of questions for the minister. In particular, he has been talking about environmental costs. I am interested in how Kyoto and the environmental plan, when they come forward, will impact a couple of areas of transportation and agriculture. One thing t
