Health  . Canadians do not want new money spent on new promises and new bureaucracy. Let me be clear to the minister once again. Will the government allow the provinces to spend the new money on restoring the core of health care services?

Health  Mr. Speaker, I am still not getting a clear answer so I will try it again. The federal government wants the bulk of the new health care money to go to new promises. The provinces want to allocate these funds to essential services. Will the government work with the provinces

Health  Mr. Speaker, tomorrow the first ministers conference on health care begins. Canadians have been clear they want the federal government to work with the provinces, not to bicker with the provinces. Instead, the Prime Minister fired off a take it or leave it letter to the premiers

Iraq  Mr. Chairman, I think we have found not dissimilar things. It is clear, as I said in my speech, that Canadians do not want war. On the other hand Canadians do not want Saddam Hussein to continue programs of weapons of mass destruction, to ignore United Nations resolutions

Iraq   was clear in my speech. We do not believe a second resolution is warranted. There have been a series of resolutions going back to the terms of the ceasefire in the gulf war in 1991. It is clear to us that a second resolution is not legally required. Whether it is advisory

Iraq   Britain, Australia, the United States and others, in their determination to send a clear signal to Saddam Hussein that failure to comply with an unconditional program of inspection would justify action to remove Iraq's suspected weapons of mass destruction. I noted that the position

Iraq  Mr. Speaker, we continue to head toward a serious international situation, and this government needs to have a clear plan of action. We have looked at the responses provided by the Prime Minister yesterday, and I would ask him the following in order to allow him the opportunity

Iraq  Mr. Speaker, today the United Nations inspectors said that Iraq was not fully complying. The United States, Britain, Australia and the allies have been clear, as is UN resolution 1441, that non-compliance by Saddam Hussein must have consequences. The government has not been

Kyoto Protocol  Mr. Speaker, today the Prime Minister is recklessly pushing forward with ratification of his Kyoto legacy. He will be committing Canada to massive CO 2 reductions without a clear and complete plan for these made in Japan targets. The Prime Minister said that he will retire

Kyoto Protocol  Mr. Speaker, I asked the Prime Minister what he would achieve in a year and, typically, he has a grand scheme. He has no plan on issue after issue. That is his real legacy to this country. He has no clear plan and no real targets for his reckless made in Japan commitments

Kyoto Protocol   there be investment certainty around the plan but said that the plan had been wrongly developed and must go back to the drawing board of public and parliamentary hearings. He said all this in the course of 10 minutes with his patented introduction “let me be very clear”. The former finance

Kyoto Protocol   these things. They are suggesting that one can be for Kyoto but against this particular part of the accord. To be clear, when the government ratifies Kyoto does it intend to ratify the whole accord including sections dealing with international emissions trading?

Points of Order   provides in articles 2(1) , 14(1) and 16 that, “The institution of ratification grants states the necessary timeframe to seek the required approval for the treaty on the domestic level and to enact the necessary legislation to give domestic effect to that treaty”. The clear implication

Points of Order   legislation was impeded. The government's motion placed certain conditions on members' ability to introduce report stage motions. My point is that the House can place restrictions upon itself and, in the case of the motion adopted on October 29, those restrictions are clear. Even

Justice  Mr. Speaker, there is not a single person who is not sitting over there who thinks the government has a plan. The government has known about the clear need for certain criminal justice reform and yet again it has done absolutely nothing. The government has allowed the artistic
