Human Resources committee  In five minutes? I'll give you one example.

Human Resources committee  I resigned as a member of the CFIB because I found their questions and the slant on the information they gave to ask people for answers was so right wing and so pro anti-social justice, it was unbelievable. The CFIB has found a way of selling enough memberships to give itself som

Human Resources committee  Are you speaking to me?

Human Resources committee  To our families.

Human Resources committee  I think your comments are very well put. It strikes me, however, that you need to have a balance. Again, I agree with you. I started out by saying we should be doing things within the envelope. I can tell you, if I were the Prime Minister of this country and could wave a magic

Human Resources committee  Education is a provincial matter.

I was a member of city council and regional council for the city of Hamilton, and I recall it was quite often the case that when an individual would come,

Human Resources committee  Two minutes, wow! Okay. So that's a problem. We have to find ways of solving those things.
