Madam Speaker, in a time of uncertainty and new challenges from President Trump's latest ban on Canadian wine, beer and spirits, Canada's wine industry needs assurance that the Government of Canada is doing everything it can to support it. Sadly, the Liberals still have not renewed the vitally important wine sector support program, which is needed now more than ever. Conservatives are also [more]

What would the percentage be, then?

During the 44th Parliament, this committee also did a report entitled “Revitalizing Research and Scientific Publication in French in Canada”. The report contained 17 recommendations. Specifically, six touched on the tri-agencies. I want to get feedback on the responses from the tri-agencies to those recommendations to see if the recommendations put forward by this committee have been implemented [more]

It's all maintained by NSERC and not shared with any other government department, then.

Vincent would still like to go forward with that meeting.

Recommendation 10, for example, suggests that “the granting agencies...take concrete steps to encourage researchers to submit funding applications in French and that they publicly report on their progress”. Has any of that been done, and have steps been taken to encourage more French research and additional applications to come in? Have any concrete steps been taken by any of the agencies with [more]

I'd prefer to wait for the new person because I'm not sure what answers we're going to get from the interim person.

Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being with us today. I want to follow up with Ms. Thompson, if I may. In your exchange with my colleague, you were talking about the race-based data, which is part of the applications. You mentioned that it is voluntary—it's not required—and you mentioned that it is not assessed, but you did say that it's “monitored”. I'd like to ask [more]

Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you to the witnesses for being with us this afternoon. I'm going to begin with Ms. Cardinal. The advisory panel's report recommends that the federal government improve federal institutions' compliance with the Official Languages Act. In what area is the federal government falling short when it comes to implementing the Official Languages Act, particularly with [more]

I'll go to your opening comments, in which you talked about publishing a road map and a timeline to implement. I believe this could be considered the third report in over three years. What has been the reaction of the government to that? In fact, is the recommendation you're putting forward a result of not getting satisfactory responses to the reports that have been prepared over the last three [more]

Thank you for that. I'd like to follow up with regard to other agencies in the various departments. One of the actions under measure eight—compliance and accountability—which is in recommendation three, to “Strengthen Government of Canada Leadership”, is to task the Office of the Chief Science Advisor of Canada with leading a coordination table to promote French within the federal scientific [more]

My last question is for all of you. Could you prepare a written submission on the responses to the recommendations from the previous report and how the tri-agencies have responded individually to each of those six recommendations that are mentioned? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, under the Liberal government's parole regime, a murderer can ask for freedom again and again. Each hearing forces grieving families to relive the worst trauma of their lives. Paul Bernardo's fourth chance at parole is approaching. Once again, the families of Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy are being forced to relive this nightmare. Victims' families and police are calling for [more]

I'll come back.

The request and the motion came from a specific colleague of mine who is not with us this afternoon. Could I take that back to him and get his comments? On Thursday, I'll provide you with a response.
