I have never seen that in business. It is curious that those results are being used as measurements in this House. The Conservative government al

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, we have had many comments in the House that the government has not gone far enough with Bill C-14 in being prescriptive about how it would be applied to the different types of medical institutes that are provincially regulated. They are similar to comments about ho

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, the hon. member has an excellent approach to the subject. It is definitely something very personal for each of us. I know myself, with my mother's passing, we had some very difficult conversations at that time. This goes beyond what we do in the House here. However,

Peter Adams  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Hon. Peter Adams, member of Parliament from 1993 to 2006 representing the riding of Peterborough, who turned 80 years old on April 17. Peter represented his constituents well, keeping in touch with residents by regularly jogging through

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank the parliamentary secretary for presenting the complexities involved with the milk protein concentrates file. In fact, at the agriculture committee we have discussed this topic and we have shown the problems of imports from the U.S.A. Imports in 2010 were 4,8

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it is interesting to see the hon. member for St. Albert—Edmonton assuming the role of conflict of interest and ethics commissioner in the House.

Federal Public Sector Labour Relations Act  Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Elmwood—Transcona for standing up for the efforts that Liberals are taking to move collective bargaining forward through the work on Bill C-7, and the work we did on Bill C-4 previous to this.

Guelph  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the joint initiative between Bioenterprise Corporation and Innovation Guelph. FedDev Ontario is providing Bioenterprise Corporation and Innovation Guelph with an investment of up to $4.84 million to provide entrepreneurs and early-stage b
