Mr. Speaker, today, it gives me great pleasure to pay tribute to a truly remarkable individual in our community, Dr. Arsalan Mohajer. Dr. Mohajer is that rare amalgam who has demonstrated a unique capacity for achievement as a scientist and educator, as well as a civic leader and philanthropist. This past weekend, hundreds of individuals gathered in Toronto at a special ceremony to praise him [more]

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of my diverse riding of Willowdale, I would like to wish all those marking the mid-autumn festival a joyous and bountiful celebration. Chuseok Tsukimi Tet Trung Thu Known as the moon festival, orin Korea,in Japan orin Vietnam, it is a cherished festival that brings family, friends and communities together. The full moon at the heart of this celebration has long been a [more]

Jamil Jivani I would like to follow up on the question Mr. Mantle posed to you. He said that he feels his party is being criticized and its members are very keen to be more active. I haven't sensed a lot of activity in terms of Conservative members going down to the U.S. Is it your opinion that Mr.'s visits to the U.S. were helpful or positive?

Mr. Gratton, you obviously put the spotlight on how China now has superiority when it comes to smelting and refining. What are the solutions? I'd like to provide you with more adequate time to respond to that. Are they joint ventures with other countries, perhaps, or perhaps the lessons that Canadian mining has learned in Chile? Is there anything more you could tell us?

Mr. Mantle, this is my time. Thank you.

Thank you.

Jivani I say that because when Mr.came back, we were hoping that he could provide us with some information. All he would tell us is that Mr. Trump loves Canada. That—

Excuse me. This is my time, as you know, Mr. Mantle.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you to the witnesses. This study is off to a great start, and it's in large part thanks to the experts we have here today. I would like to start with Ms. Tronnes. In response to an earlier question, you alluded to the fact that there were “significant moves” for greater foreign investment. Would you care to elaborate on what has been so unprecedented about some of [more]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to present petition e-7172, which has been signed by no fewer than 13,198 Canadians across the country. The petitioners call upon the government to conduct a comprehensive and independent review of the structure, governance, practices, legal status, funding sources and activities of the Iranian Canadian Congress. It is an organization that has made no attempt to gauge [more]

Would it be fair to say that there's quite a bit of information sharing that's going on between our authorities and the Americans, as well as Europeans?

C-35 Would it be fair to say, in the event that Billis adopted, that we would be at the forefront and that this would create a more robust system than exists even in the U.S. and in Europe?

C-35 I understand that, for Bill, there are going to be comprehensive consultations this summer, where stakeholders and interested parties can come forward to make sure that Bill C-35 is strengthened. Am I correct in that?

Absolutely. That's my understanding as well. Thank you for clarifying that. C-35 I note, as was suggested in the opening remarks, that we have two pieces of legislation. Now we're proceeding with Billto ensure that we're at the forefront of this. This is obviously a very challenging issue for countries around the world to deal with. It's complex, but of course there's the moral imperative as [more]
