[Translation] In Creating Opportunity , we stated clearly that the environmental agenda can no longer be ignored and that government needs to recognize the fundamental link between a healthy economy and a healthy environment. We said that all government departments need

Court Of Queen's Bench In Saskatchewan  Mr. Speaker, in response to the question I can assure the hon. member I am very much aware of the fact that the one member of that court who is able to hear proceedings in the French language is no longer sitting and that the need continues. I have reviewed the situation

Collège Militaire Royal De Saint-Jean  Mr. Speaker, what the Prime Minister does not realize is that it did not take longer than five minutes to see through the government and its charade. Since, by his own admission, the Prime Minister cannot provide us with a satisfactory answer-and neither can his Minister

Collège Militaire Royal De Saint-Jean  , the University of Quebec in Chicoutimi or the University of Quebec in Trois-Rivières instead of the college in Saint-Jean are not as good because they did not go to a military college. With our smaller armed forces, the military college is no longer necessary. The Leader of the Opposition

Collège Militaire Royal De Saint-Jean  Mr. Speaker, I have discussed this matter with the Premier of Quebec who told me that he could make use of the facilities at Saint-Jean. The federal government no longer needs them because the strength of our military work force is being reduced to 65,000. One can easily

Canadian Foreign Policy  , as members know, has called for a reduction in foreign aid funding simply because Canada no longer has the money to spend like it once did.

Cost must always be uppermost. Overexpenditures and waste will not be tolerated by the public any longer. We also have to ask

Supply   congratulations in a few of the measures it has taken. Apparently it is no longer politically incorrect as it was during the election to suggest that social programs need not be universal. The reduction of UI benefits for some, the targeting of benefits for others and the subsequent removal

Via Rail  Mr. Speaker, there is no question that no one takes any pleasure, especially as an Atlantic Canadian, in seeing further reductions in the services of VIA Rail. No longer is there any service of any kind in the railroad sector in Newfoundland. There is no railroad activity

Government Spending  Mr. Speaker, since the election of the Liberal government, we have kept hearing in this House and in committees that Quebecers and Canadians must tighten their belts, that governments can no longer provide families and seniors with the social security to which they are entitled
