Public Safety committee  I am.

Public Safety committee  I would like the courtesy of--

Public Safety committee  Thank you.

Public Safety committee  Good morning. My name is Maureen Basnicki. My husband, Ken Basnicki, a proud Canadian, was murdered by al-Qaeda terrorists in New York on September 11, 2001, while attending a meeting on the 106th floor of the north tower of the World Trade Centre. Ken was one of 24 Canadians m

Public Safety committee  I was formerly an Air Canada flight attendant and I made sure that everybody listened to my emergency demonstration--

Justice committee  Thank you, Mr. MacKenzie. My name is Maureen Basnicki and I am a co-founder of C-CAT, the Canadian Coalition Against Terror, which represents terror victims from across Canada. About six weeks ago I marked the 10th anniversary of the murder of my husband Ken. Ken had been on

Justice committee  This would mean that in a case like Lockerbie, where Libya used its intelligence services to blow up the plane, Libya could not be sued, but if Gadhafi had decided to use one of his terrorist proxies, Libya could be sued. It's somewhat nonsensical. C-CAT proposes that the bill be
