Procedure and House Affairs committee  Again, I'll say that, for physical security, you're already capably protected by people like the Sergeant-at-Arms and his staff. I think vetting people by a star chamber composed of members of Parliament and others.... Again, it's just too easy to see this working against the int

Procedure and House Affairs committee  —should you acknowledge them? That's a different thing.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  As an old professor, all I can say is that, unfortunately, people don't read anymore. Not reading and depending only on the Internet for your information gives us nothing but grief. I'm seeing that in my classes at the Royal Military College. I saw it at Queen's. I saw it at U of

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Mr. Hunka appeared nowhere on the Internet until after the incident, so I'm not sure how anyone googling him or looking for him online would have found anything. When the controversy erupted, suddenly a very sophisticated Wikipedia page appeared about the Hunka scandal—or whateve

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I would simply add to that that you in this committee are doing just that. You are restoring the reputation of Canada by examining these questions and allowing us to disagree with each other on some points, to do it in front of you. You listen to us, you'll go away and you'll thi

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Perhaps I can add something to that. I think using open sources is a very difficult way of adjudicating who might be allowed into Parliament. We all know people we disagree with or who we find disagreeable. Using open sources, which are polluted with misinformation, is not a good

Procedure and House Affairs committee  History, like any other discipline, has schools of thought and different opinions. You need to base yourself on evidence. Mere membership in the Galicia Division, as Justice Deschênes concluded back in 1987, is insufficient for prosecution. Membership in the Galicia Division is

Procedure and House Affairs committee  May I speak to that, Madam Chair?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  A cemetery monument on private property in Oakville was removed a few days ago because it had been vandalized repeatedly by unknown individuals. The cemetery board, unfortunately, capitulated to criminal vandalism. I'm sorry. That's not an agreement.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes. Both in the United States and in Canada, these kinds of reactions are occurring, and they're very harmful. Ukraine is, literally, fighting against the genocidal legend of the KGB man in the Kremlin. We need to do everything we can to support Ukraine now, because Ukraine is

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I can say that I had a friend, Stefan Petelycky, whose Auschwitz tattoo number was 154922. I helped him prepare his memoirs for publication, and they're now available, so I heard a great deal about what happened at Auschwitz and by who and to whom. From people like that and the

Procedure and House Affairs committee  The kinds of efforts that have been made between the presidents of Poland and Ukraine are commendable. They will continue. I know there are colleagues of mine in Ukraine who are working on these very issues. As was stated earlier, having academics and scholars take a second look

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you. Thank you for inviting me, and thank you for your time. The title of my presentation is Cui bono? or “Who benefits?” I'm not going to read it. I'm going to simply speak to some of the points, but I believe you've all received it in both official languages. At the in

National Defence committee  I don't think it is actually still true. There was a period when Ukraine was, yes, exporting arms to the Russian Federation because of the natural, long-lasting relationship that had been built up in the Soviet period and continued post-1991. I'm going to defer to Professor Kuzio

National Defence committee  I think the place I was at in Donetsk and then travelling up to Luhansk, the separation area, the no man's land, was much more than a wide street. Nevertheless, there were violations while I was on the line. Literally, Russian artillery pieces were firing at our position or very
