Finance committee  I want to ask a question, Mr. Chair, on the fuel subsidies. I do have a response. For clarification, at the G20, Argentina and Canada among other countries agreed back in 2009, I believe, to look at inefficient fuel subsidies. That was ratified in 2016. Canada and Argentina are

Finance committee  Thank you very much. Tim, I'll move to you. Your second recommendation is to connect rural Canadians to natural gas. As you know, I live in a rural riding, Northumberland—Peterborough South. We have been seeing natural gas come out further and further into the more rural communi

Finance committee  Thank you very much, Chair. Thanks to all of you for coming and presenting to us on this lovely rainy day. I have a couple of things. Sergio and Tim, I was listening to your remarks. As you know, I know a fair bit about the organizations and the work you're doing jointly with t

Finance committee  You just used the word “qualifying” in your presentation so I wondered if you had anything specific around that. Are you looking at a phase-in of...? I know that you've mentioned the U.S. a number of times in your presentation. Of course we're looking at trade agreements all aro

Finance committee  You're not suggesting...as you know, various equipment, various things have.... I remember the days when computers used to be written off over 10 years, and now it's an expense. Have you given any thought to what that would look like? You mentioned that it may be reviewed and t

Finance committee  I think you gave the number during your presentation, but I missed it. How many people, broadly, across the country, do museums employ? As well, what is the number of volunteers?

Finance committee  Thank you very much. My next question is for Kim and Amanjit. Thank you for your presentation. There was a little bit of doom and gloom in the presentation. I'm a small business owner and have been for 30 years. There is a lot of good stuff out there too, so I think we want to

Finance committee  Do I have time for a quick follow-up?

Finance committee  Certainly canola farmers in general have become much more adept at getting more produce per acre. Do you think the industry is currently able to ramp up to fill that need?

Finance committee  Okay. Thank you.

Finance committee  Thank you, Chair. Thank you all for coming. As someone said, it's quite the mix of presentations today. I want to start with you, Ms. Bradley and Mr. Mantler, on your Roots of Hope. I was very interested to read your brief and to learn about the incremental work you have done i

Finance committee  Are you working through schools, employers, agencies? How are you identifying where the crisis is?
