Environment committee  In our first or second meeting we discussed REACH very briefly. It's hypothetical that we actually have real legislation here in Canada, so we'll see what REACH ends up to be. What you're saying is that CEPA has the potential, but your critique is that we're not using it. That's

Environment committee  My question—maybe for Mr. Moffet—is what impact has the precautionary principle had on industrial stakeholders?

Environment committee  I'll see if I can do well too. Thank you for being here. I'd like to follow up on some of the comments made by Mr. Cullen regarding the format today. Being a round table, we're hoping to hear on all sides. This is a CEPA review and the committee has discussed the format and we

Environment committee  On a point of order, Mr. Chair, we have five minutes to get to the chamber. Considering the different abilities of people and walking speeds, I think we have to cut it off.

House debate  Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate that the member remains confused and still supports a Liberal plan that did not work, as we are 35% over the Kyoto target. We are developing a made in Canada plan that will ensure real reductions in greenhouse gases. Our plan will provide opportun

House debate  Mr. Speaker, the hon. member spoke about his confusion. I hope my presentation this evening will clarify things for him. Our government is committed to a made in Canada plan that will see real reductions in greenhouse gases. This government will use a principled approach to dev

Justice committee  The second question refers to identity theft. You had mentioned passports and the hypotheticals--there were driver's licences, social insurance cards. Identity theft is a concern. My riding of Langley, British Columbia, had the notoriety of having the greatest amount of mail th

Justice committee  I'm sorry, I'm going to interrupt you because I have limited time. I'll have a follow-up question on that when we go in camera. My final question refers to page 15 of your submission, where you talk about when prior approval is not feasible. At the end of that paragraph, on page

Justice committee  On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, I have no problem going in camera, but I would suggest that we do that after we do our normal business. The point of going in camera was brought up by Mr. Thompson at the beginning, and I'm sure there will be some topics that we could discuss in

Justice committee  Thank you. The first question, Mr. Chair, is regarding the involvement of the civilian agents. We've heard of the designation for members of the RCMP or other municipal police. How is the civilian agent involved with this? Is there any training for them? You mentioned the one er

Justice committee  So do they realize that this authorization ends when that circumstance ends? They were directed for a very short period of time.

Employment Insurance  Mr. Speaker, there are several federal initiatives that support remediation and redevelopment of urban brownfield sites. For example, there are the green municipal funds provided by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Brantford is a member of FCM. The FCM provides loans

Employment Insurance  Mr. Speaker, this government has clearly stated its commitment to clean up federal contaminated sites and to encourage the private sector to clean up brownfield sites. This government's approach to contaminated sites and brownfields is founded on the polluter pays principle. Th

Environment committee  Thank you. I have a very quick question. I've been trying to make some notes here and bring it together. To repeat, the recommendations are that we do not do clause-by-clause, but look at what's working, and I think you suggested seven different parts of CEPA we could focus on.

Environment committee  Thank you.
