Declaration of Emergency committee  I would oppose an interim report. I think we should just get it done.

Declaration of Emergency committee  Colleagues, I don't think we need to review the documents we receive in committee. We certainly don't need to decide today what to do about that. Senator Carignan, I don't have a problem if later in our work, when we have received sufficient documents, we want to, before the fal

Declaration of Emergency committee  I can be equally brief. I thank Mr. Green for his motion. I think the only way to regain some momentum, some focus and some sense of urgency is to continue our work in camera on the report, with the caveat that Mr. Green has introduced. I hope we can call the question.

Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you, Chair. Let me try to answer, for my part, the questions that members of Parliament Romanado and Green raised. I think we should go in camera for the next number of weeks, return to writing the report as we were doing it and take it as far as we possibly can. We shoul

Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you very much, Chair. I thank member of Parliament Green for his comments, and I want to associate myself with his suggestion. I think we really need to expedite as best as we can the work of the committee while respecting that there is still translation under way. I thi

Declaration of Emergency committee  Minister, let me donate the first part of my time to your response.

Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you. Let me ask a question of Director Vigneault. When you were here last, you talked about the emerging threats and the changing threat profile. Could you comment further in terms of the elapsing two years as to whether the trends that you forecast are altering, and if

Declaration of Emergency committee  Do you have the adequate authority and resources to respond to that increased activity?

Declaration of Emergency committee  Minister LeBlanc, will that be part of your announcements next week?

Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you very much. My subsequent question is for Mr. Vigneault. As I look at the witnesses, you're the only one who's been here before. Is there anything in your previous testimony that, in hindsight, if I can quote Justice Mosley—hindsight is apparently important in judicial

Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you very much. My last question is for Minister Virani. I appreciate that you're reluctant to get into matters that are before the courts, but I, for one, very much favour the action you took in terms of appealing the ruling. Is it possible for you to give me some of the

Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you very much, Chair. Colleagues, I think while we're two weeks after Groundhog Day, we're very much practising the Groundhog Day theme by revisiting stuff that, Mr. Virani, you participated in as a member and now as minister. As a resident of Ottawa who was here during t

Declaration of Emergency committee  Changing entirely for my remaining time, I'd like to go back to your experience with previous commissions. This is unusual, you say. Can you describe whether there have been official languages complaints with previous commissions, and how they were resolved, or whether there was

Declaration of Emergency committee  I will just summarize where we're at. If we responded to your helpful suggestion and identified documents that this committee, in its collective wisdom, would desire to have, and if that list was modest, in the sense of a couple of million bucks, it could be done quickly and we

Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you.
