Finance committee  Thank you, Chair. The existing legislation does indeed provide the minister the flexibility to designate a single not-for-profit external complaints body that all banks must use. Legislative changes to the complaints-handling process in banking should be examined in consultation

Finance committee  As we know, in May 2016 the Government of Canada adopted UNDRIP without qualification and committed to its full and effective implementation, in accordance with the Canadian Constitution. Additionally, Canada publicly committed to work to fully implement the UNDRIP in federal leg

Finance committee  Yes, I'm opposing CPC-3.

Finance committee  I think the officials were quite clear on the impact the deletion would have, the consequences. For that reason I can't support it. (Amendment negatived [See Minutes of Proceedings]) (Clause 352 agreed to on division)

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I certainly sympathize a great deal with the spirit of the amendment, and I know the honourable member has worked on it for some time. I do have to say, though, that the proposed amendments would create duplication with the existing leave related to the dea

Finance committee  I have never lived through what Mr. Kmiec has lived through. I can only imagine the pain and suffering he and other parents have gone through. I say that in the most sincere way I possibly can. I have family members and friends who have dealt with the loss of a child. All of us

Finance committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the officials for being here this morning on what it is truly a technical matter, but a very important one. Mr. Julian has cited a number now. I believe he said it was $240 billion to $250 billion. I can't remember exactly. It's o

Finance committee  I wasn't—

Finance committee  I'm not saying you're misleading—

Finance committee  I'm saying that the substance of your comments could imply what I said. That point of information on the OECD comes from the Library of Parliament, which we're very fortunate to have with us and briefing us on these issues, Mr. Chair. First of all, if I could, I wanted to go ove
