Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I have a petition signed by a number of veterans who live in my riding or in my region who make regular use of the Liaison Centre at the Ste. Anne's Hospital for veterans in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue in my riding. They are very concerned about the future of the centre,

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, our cities need firm answers. They need to know when the new regulations on municipal waste water will take effect and whether the federal government is going to provide any funding to help them meet the new standards. It will cost our cities between $40 billion and

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, why is it so difficult to get the government to protect the environment, especially where the oil industry is concerned? It took a two-year Liberal-initiated study to get the government to admit that it has a water problem in the oil sands; it took complaints by abo
