Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act   process that needs to go on. At committee, all we heard from witnesses, one after the other, was that they were not consulted. This is particularly true of people who are in the fishing industry, which as we know is the absolute staple industry of Atlantic Canada

Committees of the House   Republic of China”. Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to this report. We thank the clerk, the analysts, the witnesses and all the members who contributed to this report.

Canada—Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act   to speak with the people on the ground except during committee meetings, when witnesses were called. I totally agree that it would have been better to have a much more robust consultation process than we actually did.

Justice committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Actually, that's kind of a shocking and troubling development. Should this legislation pass, it would be a big mistake, based on the testimony we heard around parents and around teachers in particular. Even the Liberals' own witnesses came

Environment committee   and climate change. In the motion establishing this study, it says that the committee wishes to invite co‑operatives to testify. However, no co‑op has been suggested for the witness list, so I would ask each party to send the clerk their suggestions, prioritized as usual, to make the task

Justice committee  That's right. What we have is a bill that the proponent is advertising and justifying using scenarios that are already criminal. The concern that witnesses have and the concern that the Minister of Justice, Arif Virani, has is the effect of passing this bill on conduct

National Strategy on Brain Injuries Act   colleague today when he talked about the experience he had with a particular friend whom he played hockey with, the realities of brain injuries and what he witnessed someone close to him go through. Quite frankly, I think it is time that we get to the point where we can send the bill

That is why teachers' organizations appeared at this committee and sat there as witnesses and testified that removing section 43

Amendments to the Standing Orders  Mr. Speaker, I am quite encouraged by the member's motion. However, there are a number of questions and thoughts I would like to share with the member.

For parents who make that choice to adopt kids who maybe have been in and out of foster care and have witnessed horrible, terrible circumstances in their short lives, it takes a long time to build trust. We heard about a number of young people

Employment Insurance Act  Madam Speaker, one thing I have witnessed over the years is a general attitude toward how we can improve our EI system and how benefits are ultimately paid out. We often talk about what is being proposed in this legislation. For adoptive parents to have 15 weeks, from my
