How does Sima Acan's voting record line up with your values?
Mr. Speaker, last week, I had the honour of standing at the RCMP Depot in Regina as Troop 44 graduated after 26 demanding weeks of training. These new Mounties have chosen a life of service, protecting our communities, upholding the law and contributing to the public safety and national security of our country. Behind every new constable also stands a family that has supported them and
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for highlighting the support to help Brampton businesses expand their production and reach new markets. With my background in industrial automation and robotics, I know how investing in technology can improve productivity and help Canadian manufacturers compete on the global stage. Those gains go further when businesses can move their goods efficiently and
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's public service and I appreciated our constructive discussions on lawful access last year. C-5 C-39 We share the goals of getting projects done fast, building Canada strong and reducing unnecessary delays. Billestablished a framework for designated national interest projects, while Billwould also improve coordination across the broader federal review and
It's the same point of order, Mr. Chair. Again, we are studying clause-by-clause. We did hours of study in this committee for this bill. I suggest that we be more productive and, instead of spending 11 hours like last week filibustering, focus on the clause and ask questions relevant to the clause so that we can pass it. Those questions will definitely have a place to be asked.
We will take another 40-minute break, I guess.
As committee members—not only the Liberals but Conservatives and the Bloc—we had lots of hours on this committee and we did ask all these questions. Can we just be relevant? We are doing clause-by-clause. We are not doing a study with a question period here. We are doing clause-by-clause. We have to stick to the clauses. We have to study the relevance of the clauses and ask questions that are
Each of those projects is $50 billion to $60 billion and will create jobs for 100 years—for decades. Thank you so much for that hard work. When you pursue an international project, which Canadian export controls or foreign licensing requirements create delays for you? What could the federal government do to help you with that process?
I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.
I think the bells are ringing now. Could we look for unanimous consent to continue our study?
Thank you, Chair. Thank you all for joining us today. Mr. Smith, it's always great to see you. As we all agree, Canada has what the world wants. We have a long history of exporting CANDU technology, as you mentioned, with 26 reactors in six different countries and potentially two more in the near future. This success is backed by uranium resources, skilled workers and engineers, and a Canadian
I have a point of order, Mr. Chair. It's the same point of order.
I have a point of order, Mr. Chair. The last three questions and this one are irrelevant to the topic we are studying on the clause. If our Conservative colleagues are willing to be productive, I suggest to them to get back to the topic and questions on the clause, please.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. C-221 MP Arnold, Dr. Carrie, Ms. Freeman, thank you very much for joining us today and for appearing before the committee regarding Bill. It's evident that this legislation is about transparency and ensuring that victims have access to clear information to understand decisions made by Corrections Canada. This legislation also reminds us that at the end of the day, victim
Thank you so much. Currently, in the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, the commissioners use their judgment to withhold information from victims that they deem would have a negative impact on the safety of the public. Could you describe, from your perspective, how this is applied? In your opinion, what factors would the commissioner typically consider when determining whether disclosing
