Veterans Affairs committee  So who is able to provide more resources to the Rangers? The government or the Canadian Forces?

Veterans Affairs committee  In your opinion, do the Canadian Forces show a willingness to improve the process for the Rangers? Do they have the financial resources to do so? Money makes the world go round.

Veterans Affairs committee  I would like to address the training of the Rangers. Does their training vary according to the area they cover? Do those in remote areas receive the same general training as all other Rangers? Should training vary from one area to another?

Veterans Affairs committee  I'm curious as to why medical examinations are not mandatory for the Rangers. Is it because of their age or because there is a shortage? Some of them may not be in good physical condition.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you very much. I appreciate your answers.

Justice  Mr. Speaker, Vice-Admiral Norman cannot defend himself since the Prime Minister refuses to give him access to evidence for his defence. This is amateur theatre hour. In Canada, justice is not a one-way street. Every Canadian has rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, a

Justice  Mr. Speaker, it has become a habit for the Liberal government to govern not for all Canadians, but for Liberal cronies and certain interest groups. If sunny ways, as they liked to say, mean a cabinet that obstructs the courts in order to hide the real sacrificial lamb in this st

Justice  Mr. Speaker, Vice-Admiral Norman never benefited personally. His focus has always been the well-being of his colleagues and the Royal Canadian Navy. He has had an exemplary career and deserves to retire in dignity with the recognition he has earned. He must have a fair trial. The

Justice  Mr. Speaker, Canadians want to know. The Liberal government is ruining the career of an officer who has been recognized for his distinguished service, and it will not say why. So much for an open and transparent government. Will the Prime Minister stop dragging an honourable of

Corrections and Conditional Release Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to talk about Bill C-83 because it is of personal concern to me and because I was asked to do so by a number of correctional officers who told me that they feel as though they were not sufficiently consulted during the drafting of this bill. If the go

Corrections and Conditional Release Act  Madam Speaker, I have talked to correctional officers and what concerns me is that it is going to be extremely difficult for our correctional officers if they no longer have administrative segregation at their disposal. When something happens, correctional officers are often fir

Corrections and Conditional Release Act  Madam Speaker, on the subject of administrative segregation, I believe the duration was reduced. On the other, I think that there needs to be appropriate mental health screening of inmates. To my mind, if the government takes the crucially important tool that is administrative s

Justice  Mr. Speaker, Vice-Admiral Norman is a man of honour and integrity. He always did his best for the Royal Canadian Navy. He needs evidence to defend himself. Obviously, the government is covering up an extremely embarrassing situation. Could the government not have taken other mea
