Sealing Industry
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Lawrence MacAulay Cardigan, PE
Mr. Speaker, on January 12, 2011, over a year ago, the then minister of fisheries and oceans announced that the Government of Canada had acquired market access to China for Canada's sealing industry. To this day not a single transaction has taken place.
Will the Prime Minister bring up the sealing market issue in China? If he does, when he makes another announcement will it mean that we have the necessary market access to China?
Sealing Industry
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
New Brunswick
Keith Ashfield Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and Minister for the Atlantic Gateway
Mr. Speaker, as we have indicated before, this side of the House supports our sealers and our sealing industry.
The Chinese government is currently doing a technical review of the policy and hopefully we will see good news forthcoming.
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Anne Minh-Thu Quach Beauharnois—Salaberry, QC
Mr. Speaker, new documents show that the government is prepared to sacrifice the public health care system in its secret negotiations for a trade agreement with the European Union. Quebec health care unions and organizations are sounding the alarm. They believe that the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec is not being adequately protected in the negotiations, which are opening the door to more and more privatization.
Why is the government refusing to adequately protect our public health care system? Will the government exclude public services from the negotiations, yes or no?
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Some hon. members
Yes or no?
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
South Shore—St. Margaret's
Nova Scotia
Gerald Keddy Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade
Mr. Speaker, I would thoroughly caution the hon. member from seeing any truth in leaked documents.
When it comes to social services and health care, a free trade agreement with the European Union, like all of Canada's trade agreements, would exclude public services such as public health, public education, social services, water and the rest of the list.
The member should not put any credibility in leaked documents.
International Trade
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Ed Holder London West, ON
Mr. Speaker, communities like my city of London benefit from greater international trade.
The Prime Minister's current visit to China will strengthen our trade and economic ties, and sets the foundation for long-term economic growth in Canada. Under our government, Canada's exports to China have increased by 85%, and this visit is crucial for Canadian jobs.
Today the Prime Minister announced that our Minister of International Trade signed and concluded a foreign investment promotion and protection agreement with China.
I would appreciate it if the parliamentary secretary would tell the House how this agreement will create jobs and promote long-term economic growth for Canada?
International Trade
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
South Shore—St. Margaret's
Nova Scotia
Gerald Keddy Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for London West for his hard work on trade committee.
Today the Prime Minister announced the conclusion of a landmark job-creating investment agreement between Canada and China. It shows that our ambitious pro trade plan is delivering results by forging new links with high growth markets. This agreement will provide a more stable and secure environment for investors on both sides of the Pacific.
This is good news for Canadian workers and their families.
Oral Questions
3:10 p.m.
Rosane Doré Lefebvre Alfred-Pellan, QC
Mr. Speaker, the situation at the immigration detention centre in Laval is cause for concern. The verification of refugee identities takes far too long. Due to the excessive workload, it can take months for officials to process claims.
This leads to health problems and depression among the refugee claimants.
What is more serious is that passing Bill C-4 will make things worse by increasing the time frame from a few months to several years.
Why treat these newcomers like criminals?
Why is the government doing nothing to deal with this situation that is intolerable for the officials and newcomers?
Oral Questions
3:10 p.m.
Calgary Southeast
Jason Kenney Minister of Citizenship
Mr. Speaker, the member is wrong.
It is true that there is a waiting list for refugee claimants. We inherited it from the previous government. Fortunately, since last year, the backlog of refugee claims has been reduced by 20,000. The new system that we will be implementing within a few months will accelerate the processing of claims. The processing period will be a few weeks. New claims will be heard by the IRB within two to three months.
Human Rights
Oral Questions
3:10 p.m.
Jean-François Fortin Haute-Gaspésie—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia, QC
Mr. Speaker, in 2006, the Prime Minister was preaching about human rights and telling anyone who would listen that he would not back down on fundamental rights in order to trade with China.
Today, it seems the opposite is true; while we have learned that the Conservatives authorized the secret service to use information obtained through torture, the Prime Minister is in China bragging about the importance of economic exchange between the two countries and is content with a simple dialogue on human rights.
How can the government explain this turnabout? Has it abandoned respect for people's most fundamental rights?
Human Rights
Oral Questions
3:10 p.m.
South Shore—St. Margaret's
Nova Scotia
Gerald Keddy Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade
Mr. Speaker, it is our Conservative government that has aggressively pursued Canada's trade expansion with China. We secured approved destination status for Chinese tourists. Two-way trade is almost $60 billion. That is up from $36 billion under the Liberals. We will not take any lessons on trade from any of the opposition members.
However, let me be clear on human rights. We take every appropriate opportunity to express our human rights concerns to the Chinese government, in a respectful manner.
Status of Women in Parliament
Oral Questions
3:10 p.m.
Maria Mourani Ahuntsic, QC
Mr. Speaker, you know that I have a great deal of respect for you. I voted for you to be the Speaker. You are a young face in this chamber, a young Speaker, the youngest Speaker in the history of Canada, I believe. I am convinced that a young Speaker such as yourself will breathe new life into the rules, customs and practices of this chamber.
I was pregnant while a member of Parliament and I had a premature baby. I was told that I could not come and vote with a baby in my arms. Is there a rule against this? A custom in this regard? I do not know, but that is what I was told. I was very upset that I was unable to do my parliamentary duty from start to finish, that I was unable to vote when I should because I had my baby with me.
I bring this up now because, as you know, the situation has arisen again in the House. I read what you said to the media to the effect that there is reportedly no rule on this subject and that you did not intend to remove a baby from this chamber. I am sure that you did not intend to do so because I know that you are a very honourable person. You are a father, and I am sure that this was not your intention. However, there is now some ambiguity because I experienced a similar situation.
I would humbly ask you to clarify whether or not there is a rule. If there is a rule, I would like you to do away with it. If there is not, I would like you to clarify this situation so that we women of childbearing age will know how to mange our family lives and achieve a work-life balance.
By so doing, you will also send a message to Quebec and Canadian society saying that women can participate in politics even if they are in their childbearing years and that they have a place in this chamber. This is a key message from both a political and human standpoint.
Right now, we are like the cobbler's barefoot children. It seems that we do not have the right to vote when our babies are with us. I am speaking of newborn babies, not children who are five or six years old and who can be taken to daycare. I am asking you to consider this issue.
There is another thing that I would like to mention. It is like a scavenger hunt to find the infamous change tables in the Parliament buildings. I remember very well that it was extremely difficult for me to find them. The washroom right here still does not have one. I would like to have a few more change tables and the tools for us take care of our small babies while still doing our duties as members of Parliament.
I would like to thank you and tell you that you can rest assured that I will vote for you again if the constituents of Ahuntsic vote for me again in the next election.

Oral Questions
3:15 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, those of us who are the parents of young children know very well that there are real challenges in managing and juggling the needs of our children, as well as the demands of our workplace. That applies not just here in the House of Commons or in the Parliament buildings but, in fact, in all workplaces across the country.
I think this is a question that is appropriate for the procedure and House affairs committee to look at.
Status of Women in Parliament
Oral Questions
3:15 p.m.
Chris Charlton Hamilton Mountain, ON
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the point that is being made but, just for the record, we need to be clear about what happened in the House yesterday. I spoke to you after the incident and you assured me that it was about the use of the cameras in the House. I appreciate that was the right course of action. We all know we cannot take pictures in this House, so I just want to set that record straight.
I also appreciate that all members in the House have been very generous in the past in allowing young mothers to bring their babies into the House, to recognize the difficulty with respect to work-life balance.
There are incidents where Sheila Copps brought her baby into the House, Caroline St-Hilaire brought her baby into the House and Michelle Dockrill brought her baby into the House. There certainly are such precedents.
I appreciate the understanding of all members about how difficult it is to do this job and have a newborn. I take it on faith that all the members will continue to exhibit that goodwill. I do not think we need to debate this issue further. I appreciate the understanding and support that all members are showing the member for Verchères—Les Patriotes.
Status of Women in Parliament
Oral Questions
3:15 p.m.
Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise on this point to make an additional comment because there is need for the ambiguity to be cleared up.
The hon. member just mentioned Michelle Dockrill, the former member of Parliament from Cape Breton. She did bring her son, Kenzie, into the House but she was told never to do it again. She was nursing her son at the time and was told that eating in the chamber violated the rules of the chamber. I think we need greater clarity.

Here's how RW members rated this race (476 votes).
In short: Mountainous hills, running through streams and lakes from the start. Lovely downhill finish.Date of review: November 4, 2012
In short: Pack your wellies and climbing ropes!In full: Terrible conditions almost a foot deep in places, water streaming down the hills. Although well organised and dedicated Marshalls despite the horrible conditions. I had heard it was hilly but up and down like a yoyo a real challenge!Date of review: November 4, 2012
In short: Brilliant race in appalling conditions In full: Freezing rain for the first hour, roads flooded ankle deep, the conditions were so bad it was great - the most enjoyable run I've had this year. A huge thank you to fantastic marshalls and organisers who remained cheerful throughout. This remains my favourite race in the calendar, looking forward to 2013 if my kit dries out in time!Date of review: November 4, 2012
In short: great course, not flat though!Date of review: November 21, 2011
In short: Bonfire night followed by a scenic HMIn full: Hard to fault this one! Marlow one of the prettier parts of England, with the HM very well-organised and still managing to maintain that village feel despite 1500 entrants. The route is glorious and virtually car-free, with some challenging hills to make it interesting then the last mile is all downhill. Top it off with a great fireworks display at Longridge the night before and a pub lunch afterwards and its a great weekend.Date of review: November 12, 2011
In short: My quads and calves keep reminding me that the hills were proper hillsDate of review: November 11, 2011
In short: lovely and cool day, once on the way gretted with a slow winding uphillsection, and this theme continued with steeper up and down runs, with a lovely last mile downhill to the finishDate of review: November 11, 2011
In short: Wonderful race with red kites for company.In full: Travelled quite a distance to do this race having ran it for the first time last year. Enjoyed the course very much and seeing red kites giving their arial support made me want to return. It's certainly not an easy run and people considering need to practice on the hills. Tech. Shirt was a great improvement on last year's cotton variety. Only one criticism. More loo's are required. With a 1000 plus runners the ones on sight cannot cope with the deamd and a few porto's would help, just aswell the route was heavily wooded in places. Overall a great run, one of the best, and I will do it again.Date of review: November 10, 2011
In short: Bring on the DOMS!!In full: Last did this 5 years ago and for some reason, although I remembered it was hilly, I didn't remember it being quite that hilly!!Definately a challenge, and my legs are still sore now (it's Wednesday evening) but it makes finishing all the sweeter.Great marshalls, loved the technical t-shirt - better than a medal - and the bar of soap was an added (random) bonus. Would probably have liked a Mars Bar or a sports drink or something at the end - would have put an extra sparkle on it.One major gripe - and it's not very original - the number of ladies toilets was WOEFUL. The queue was ridiculous and I was resigned to finding a quiet spot to go until I happened across the (empty) public loos 2 minutes from the start venue! Date of review: November 9, 2011
In short: Dem hills don't get any flatter !! In full: My fourth year in a row at Marlow and one of the most satisfying races on the calendar - mainly knowing that you've tamed the beast of a course. Marshalls were excellent and the whole event ran like clockwork. Great technical t-shirt at the end too. Recommend to anyone who wants to run a hard but well organised enjoyable event. No negatives at all (apart from my Calves and Thighs which are still killing me on two days later). See you next year.Date of review: November 8, 2011

Este apartamento es genial! La vista es increíble, la ubicación es perfecta y el edificio muy bonito y elegante. He estado en Nueva York más de 10 veces y nunca he tenido antes un gran lugar para alojarse. Es muy amplio y se ve exactamente igual que las fotos muestran. Esperamos con ganas de volver!
This apartment is great! The view is unbelievable, the location is perfect and the building very nice and elegant. I have been in New York more than 10 times and had never before such a great place to stay. It is very spacious and it looks exactly like the pictures show. We look forward to coming back!
Preparación para nuestra visita a Nueva York, fue una gran ayuda para comunicarse gratamente con el propietario del apartamento. Todo lo que leemos acerca de la ubicación y el apartamento en sí resultó ser correcta! ¡Qué gran oportunidad de visitar Nueva York! La ubicación es perfecta y todas las instalaciones directamente a la mano. El espacioso apartamento ofrece unas vistas impresionantes. Estaba bien equipado y que no se pierda el televisor en absoluto. ¡Desde luego que recomendamos este apartamento a todos los que le gusta la calidad, el espacio, la ubicación perfecta y un buen servicio. Gracias, Ray y Jake! saludos cordiales, Paul de Holanda
Preparing for our visit to NY it was a great help to communicate pleasantly with the owner of the apartment. Everything we read about the location and apartment itself turned out to be correct! What a great opportunity to visit NY! Perfect location and all facilities directly at hand. The roomy apartment provides great views. It was well equipped and we didn't miss the tv set at all. We sure recommend this apartment to everyone who likes quality,space, perfect location and good service. Thanks, Ray and Jake! kind regards, Paul from Holland
we had a great long weekend in New York in this appartment
the service was very good and the appartment was located close to times square.
the view was fantastic on the 34th floor.
also we arranged pick up from the airport via Ray and that was for a good price.
I can recommend this 3 bedroom appartment if you want a central location in NY.
In general the apartment is OK with a very good and central location very close to several subway stations. The apartment itself is big and comfortable (probably the only thing is living room is too small for 6 people as we were and lacks sofas). Two issues: we were provided with one towel for each of us for ten days (!) and we asked to leave our luggage (only the luggage) in the day of departure until 7 pm and we were informed that we were only allowed to leave it until 4pm since there were clients arriving this day and that we must leave the apartment by 11am to clean it. This was not true, nobody came to clean the apartment before the 'arrival' of new customers. The luggage is an issue (they offer the opportunity to leave the luggage in their office at a cost and only from Monday to Friday but is 10 streets far away from the apartment). So check this with your flights. We did not understand while they forced us to go to the airport more than 5 hours before our flight while the apartment was empty.

Yes, I have watched lots of Breaking Bad too. It was all mostly at one time. I feel bad for not being a fan the whole time it was airing. This is a very realistic picture. A show as serious as that deserves it. The red background is great too.
He seems to have a really chalky appearance. I guess it suits the character. The headgear's probably the best part. You do, of course, also get down his expression perfectly. It's great to honor the most acclaimed show ever.

Absolutely 'Devastating' News For Amazon?
Short story even shorter: Jay Yarow is one of several to sound the alarm over Pacific Crest's decision to cut its Kindle Fire estimates from 8 million to 6 million units for the holiday quarter and 12.5 million to 10.5 million for next year.
Yarow immediately compares Kindle Fire estimates to much loftier expectations for Apple's (AAPL) iPad.
Curiously, Yarow uses Citi's numbers (23 million iPads this Q and 83 million for fiscal year 2013) to make his point. Should we really be looking to Citi for insight on Apple ?
But, listen, Yarow is a sane and logical guy, just like TheStreet's Chris Ciaccia. Chris and I disagree with one another on the notion of competition between Amazon and Apple as well as the former's lofty valuation .
It's all good.
I understand the AMZN bear case. I also understand why very few people have the guts to short the stock . However, I can't dig why so many otherwise intelligent colleagues fall hook, line and sinker for the Amazon versus Apple meme.
Next to Howard Stern, Jeff Bezos might be the most misunderstood and, by some, disrespected guy in showbiz. After 13 years with a consistent message -- we're all about investing to seize long-term opportunity -- and a exponentially increasing stock price, how can any mere mortal have the nerve to criticize Bezos?
Does anybody really think the guy is dumb enough to believe Amazon can sell more tablets than Apple? He's probably shocked to unload around 30% of Apple's total in a quarter. He's not that stupid so stop making this inane comparison.
Numbers don't mean a thing anyway. We do not know how many Kindle Fires Amazon sells because Amazon doesn't tell us. If you trust analyst "estimates" after the week these cats had with AAPL I have a bridge in Brooklyn up for barter.
Again, consider the source. Not only did Yarow use Citi for iPad estimates, he labeled Pacific Crest's take on Kindle sales a "devastating report." Pacific Crest -- the same firm that tripped over Citi to downgrade AAPL early in the week, slashing its price target from $645 to $565. We might get there by the end of the month!
Granted two different Pacific Crest analysts cover Apple and Amazon, but birds of a feather ...
To make it all the more comical, Pacific Crest cites "weak demand" for lower Kindle Fire projections. Really. That's insightful. They take it a step further, though, by calling Kindle Fire "a highly seasonal item." Man, these guys are breaking some freaking ground this week.

This is my absolute favorite fragrance. I get compliments on how great I smell. they always say when you walked by I noticed how great you smell. It is not one of those fragrances that you can smell when someone hits the door, it is subtle.

Born Wild by Ed Hardy is a very fruity with a hint of floral kind of scent. It's really good for casual days and lasts a decent amount of time! I don't think I would buy it again, but I do like this scent!

Run Free
Some new twists on trail running
Photo by Dave Costello
A few years ago I was running on Mount Pirongia in New Zealand with my friends Robbie Walsh and James Cook, when Robbie suddenly sprinted up a tree and did a back-flip. He landed awkwardly and fell over, rolled up with a huge dopey grin on his face, exclaimed, "Cool!" then sprinted toward a large rock outcropping 20 meters off trail.
"What are you doing?!" I yelled.
"I'm going to jump off this rock!" he replied, just before kicking off a tree and propelling himself up the rock face.
I looked over at James, hoping that he might know why Robbie had apparently gone off the deep end, literally. But he just shrugged his shoulders, ran into the forest and spun a 360 off a log.

Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre
Tom Lukiwski Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister for Democratic Reform
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8) I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to 12 petitions.
Human Pathogens and Toxins Act

Environment and Sustainable Development
Committees of the House
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Bob Mills Red Deer, AB
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the fifth report of the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development in relation to Bill C-377, an Act to ensure Canada assumes its responsibility in preventing dangerous climate change.
Second, I have the pleasure to present the sixth report of the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development. The report provides reasons for the committee not having completed its study of Bill C-377, an Act to ensure Canada assumes its responsibility in preventing dangerous climate change.
Mr. Speaker, the committee adopted clauses 3 to 9 with amendments, postponed clause 1, the preamble and the short title pursuant to Standing Order 75(1), and stood clause 2. The committee was unable to vote on clauses 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 due to a prolonged debate of over 20 hours on clause 10, which led the committee to an impasse.
As members will recall, the committee presented a report on April 14, 2008, arising from the debate on the bill, regarding inherent difficulties in the rules and procedures of the House. As a result of the impasse, the committee adopted a motion to the effect that the title, the preamble, clauses 1, 2, 10, as amended, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Bill C-377, an Act to ensure Canada assumes its responsibility in preventing dangerous climate change be deemed adopted, that the bill as amended be deemed adopted, and that the chair report the bill as amended to the House.
I wish to note that as an indicator of the impasse, the report contains in annex four supplementary opinions.
I wish to thank all members of the committee for their willingness to find a compromise, allowing the committee to proceed in its important work.
Drinking Water Quality Act
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Alex Atamanenko British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-538, An Act to bring the Food and Drug Regulations in line with the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality.
Mr. Speaker, this is an act to bring the food and drug regulations in line with the guidelines for Canadian drinking water quality. It states that bottled water must conform to the same strict standards as municipal tap water. Accordingly, bottled water should be regulated by the same guidelines as municipal water in the guidelines for Canadian drinking water quality.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Canada Transportation Act
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Thierry St-Cyr Jeanne-Le Ber, QC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-539, An Act to amend the Canada Transportation Act (vibration and noise).
Mr. Speaker, I am introducing this bill to amend the Canada Transportation Act with respect to railway noise. Last session, the House of Commons came to an agreement in committee on a text that would strengthen the Transportation Act. Unfortunately, the Senate did not agree with us and amendments were necessary in order to pass the bill before the end of the session. This bill would return the text to the form unanimously agreed upon by the committee.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Income Trusts
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to present another income trust broken promise petition at the request of the member for Kelowna—Lake Country. The petitioners would like to remind the Prime Minister that he promised never to tax income trusts, but he broke that promise by imposing a 31.5% punitive tax which permanently wiped out over $25 billion of the hard-earned retirement savings of over two million Canadians, particularly seniors.
The petitioners therefore call upon the Conservative minority government, first, to admit that the decision to tax income trusts was based on flawed methodology and incorrect assumptions, as was demonstrated at the finance committee; second, to apologize to those who were unfairly harmed by this broken promise; and finally, to repeal the 31.5% tax on income trusts.
Unborn Victims of Crime
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Ken Epp Edmonton—Sherwood Park, AB
Mr. Speaker, a year ago, Aysun Sesen of Toronto was murdered and her unborn child also lost its life. That family was deeply hurt because the police could lay no charges in the death of the unborn child. The petitions that I am presenting today reflect that. These are mostly from Toronto, from her area, and they are from people who are asking Parliament to please enact legislation that would provide for a second offence when a pregnant woman is murdered and her child also dies or is injured.

Opposition Motion—Elections Canada
Business of Supply
Government Business
10:10 a.m.
Michel Guimond Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, QC
That the House express its full and complete confidence in Elections Canada and the Commissioner of Canada Elections.
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise on behalf of my party, the Bloc Québécois, to participate in the discussion about this very important motion.
This motion is grounded first and foremost in democracy. Although this may seem quite ironic, the purpose of this motion is for the House of Commons to spend today reiterating its confidence in an independent, impartial organization whose neutrality is above reproach. That may indeed seem ironic.
Why will we be talking about a motion that asks the House to express its full confidence in Elections Canada and the elections commissioner? Because the party currently leading a minority government, the Conservative Party, has given us reason to believe that it does not have faith in Elections Canada.
We know that free and fair elections are the basis for any democracy. In some countries, the people do not have opportunities to choose their elected officials democratically. Here in Quebec and Canada, we do have that opportunity. Regardless of the party elected or the member or candidate in whom the people place their trust, that person is elected democratically. Nobody in this House was elected by citizens who went to the polls at gunpoint. We are legitimate.
All the same, the democratic process that takes place during our elections has to be overseen by an organization. We cannot let the government or the party in power, regardless of who they are, decide how things are going to happen. We are responsible for keeping a close eye on the electoral process.
We know that the right to vote is not enough on its own. We need rules in order to hold free, democratic elections. For example—and this is with reference to the case currently before the courts—we need rules that govern contributions to political parties and that make it possible to prevent the electoral process from becoming hijacked by the money game. That means that parties have to play by rules enforced by an independent organization.
Here is another example that is more directly linked to the motion today. The rules that set limits on election spending are intended to make sure that the candidate with the best chances of being elected is the one who is most in tune with the wishes of the public, not the one who spends the most money to flood the country with partisan advertisements. In the Bloc Québécois, we feel that, in a democratic society, elections must not be bought.
I went onto the Elections Canada website, which lists the organization's values: a knowledgeable and professional workforce, transparency, responsiveness to the needs of Canadians involved in the electoral process, cohesiveness and consistency in administering the Canada Elections Act, earning the public's trust, and finally, stewardship and accountability in how the democratic process is managed.
The position of Chief Electoral Officer was created in 1920. Marc Mayrand, the current Chief Electoral Officer, is the sixth person to hold the position. I sit on the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, of which I am vice-chair, and, when Mr. Mayrand was appointed, even the Conservatives recognized his skills and professionalism. Now that Elections Canada, as an impartial referee, makes a decision that does not suit the Conservatives, all of a sudden, they start to discredit the individual and the institution.
Elections Canada has shown us time and time again that the concern for transparency is clear in everything they do. If the Conservatives had acted in a transparent way and had cooperated with Elections Canada in what is now called the "in and out affair", when the Conservatives shuffled money back and forth during the January 2006 election campaign, the police raid that we witnessed some ten days ago would not have been necessary.
Is it customary, is it normal that Elections Canada had to get a warrant from a neutral judge and use the services of a neutral police force like the RCMP? Is it normal for a police force to have to search the headquarters of a political party, the Conservative Party in this case? Does this happen all the time, or is this an exceptional case? This shows that Elections Canada was completely fed up with the Conservatives' unwillingness to cooperate regarding this scheme, which supposedly allowed the Conservatives to exceed the $18 million national spending limit by transferring $1.2 million in advertising expenses to local ridings.
The Prime Minister tells us that everything was legitimate, that everything was done according to the rules. If everything was done properly, why did the Conservatives refuse to cooperate with Elections Canada? Why did they not sit down with them and explain what they did and how they applied the rules? No, they preferred to use a strategy that was against the law, with the result that it is being challenged by Elections Canada, thus explaining the police raid.
The Conservatives made some grand promises of transparency. I am sure we all remember the 2006 election. People really doubted Liberal management and attacked their credibility. People took a hard look at the sponsorship scandal and said the Liberals ran their campaign with dirty money. The Conservatives, however, were going to be squeaky clean, irreproachable and transparent. I am sure everyone remembers the Conservative ads during the election campaign in 2006, not all that long ago. They said these ads were paid for with clean money. But would Elections Canada be challenging this if everything had been done legitimately?
A lot of Conservatives, including, yesterday, the Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board and the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons, have defended themselves by saying that all the parties do it. So I would like you to explain for me, Mr. Speaker, why there are only 67 election reports by candidates, some of whom were elected as members and some of whom have apparently been appointed as ministers. Why are 67 Conservative election reports being challenged by Elections Canada?
I would point out that the election expense reports filed by the Liberals, the Bloc and the NDP after the 2006 elections have resulted in refunds. We got our refunds. That is too handy a defence. Saying that everybody does it so we do it too is just blowing smoke. I am sorry, but there is a dispute with Elections Canada, an independent, neutral and transparent body that oversees the democratic process and deserves to have our confidence. I am persuaded that in the vote tonight all parties will reiterate their confidence in Elections Canada.
Quebeckers and Canadians do not want to have an electoral system here like we can see in other countries. By their attitude, the Conservatives flaunt the election laws that are not to their liking. When Elections Canada's decision does not suit the government, they attack Elections Canada. They complain about inappropriate treatment. I am sorry, but it is nothing of the kind.
Another thing we find on the Elections Canada site relates to cohesiveness and consistency in administering the Canada Elections Act. If we want elections to be conducted as a democratic process, it is important that all candidates and all parties, without exception, have equal opportunities. There can be no elasticity: the fact that someone does not like the sovereignists in the Bloc wanting to break up Canada and establish their own country does not mean they can be treated differently. No! Behaving like the Conservatives are asking would mean having an asymmetrical democracy. The rules of the game have to be clear and they have to be the same for everyone.
The Conservatives can feign indignance about this all they like, but the public's confidence has been seriously undermined. Speaking ill of an impartial body like Elections Canada is not how to do things in a democracy and makes the public skeptical about politicians, but particularly about the attitude of this Conservative Party. It is too handy to claim unfair treatment. The sole purpose of that attitude, intentionally criticizing and attacking credibility, is to conceal fraudulent activities.
I could tell you about the seven months of repeated filibusters we had at the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. The Conservative candidates went on and on about genuinely examining this issue. Well before the Elections Canada prosecution and the police raid, the Liberal whip had introduced a motion at the Committee on Procedure to bring this whole in-and-out scheme by the Conservative Party in the last campaign into the open. The Committee on Procedure has been paralyzed since September 10 and has really been unable to do its work.
Obviously, the Conservatives are trying to sweep the dust under the rug. Understandably, they are uncomfortable with what they did. Not only did the Conservatives knowingly set up a fraudulent scheme to claim rebates to which they were not entitled, but now, instead of apologizing, they attack the credibility of Elections Canada for blatantly partisan purposes.
Yesterday, during question period, the Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board told us: "Conservative candidates spent Conservative money on Conservative advertising". He forgot to say that inflating the election spending limit for local candidates shortchanged citizens because the Conservatives received a 60% rebate when their expenses return was approved.
As a defence they say that Conservative advertising was paid for with Conservative money. We say that it was used to inflate the spending limit, hence the notion of dirty money in this case, because taxpayers, who are fed up with paying taxes, were shortchanged by 60% with these artificially inflated expenses.
In conclusion, I want the Conservatives to know that we have seen where they are going with this scheme. Instead of cooperating with Elections Canada, they have opted for confrontation. This stance forced Elections Canada to use an extraordinary remedy to have access to incriminating documents, which explains the police raid at the headquarters of the Conservative Party of Canada.
The Bloc Québécois reiterates it full and complete confidence in Elections Canada as an impartial, independent and transparent referee necessary to ensure democratic elections.

Ken Epp Edmonton—Sherwood Park, AB
Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the hon. member. Many questions come to mind but I will focus on one question. Does he believe that Elections Canada or the courts in our land are infallible? Can they make no mistakes at all?
I refer to the fact that in our court system pretty well everything the court rules on can be challenged on appeal all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. We know there have been a number of instances where Elections Canada made a ruling that was, subsequently in court, shown to be incorrect and it had to backtrack because it is not infallible, as none of us are.
Does the member think there should be removed from our legislation the ability to challenge in a court the rulings of Elections Canada as with many other committees and boards in the country?

Michel Guimond Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, QC
Mr. Speaker, I listened to my colleague's question directly in English, not because our interpreters are not competent, but because I have noticed that my knowledge of the other language has improved. Clearly, my colleague cannot make the same claim.
He is asking me whether an organization is infallible. We must accept the basic premise that our society is subject to the rule of law. The organization interpreted a rule of law in the same way for everyone. But his party does not accept Elections Canada's interpretation. That has nothing to do with whether or not the organization is infallible. We are asking the Conservatives to cooperate with Elections Canada when the time comes. Perhaps they will manage to convince Elections Canada and it will eventually recognize that its interpretation was incorrect.
I could use the mirroring technique and turn the question back to my colleague. Is the Conservative Party infallible? Is the Conservatives' interpretation the only correct one? Absolutely not. That is why a neutral, independent, non-partisan organization conducts the election in 308 ridings across Canada. That is what it means to recognize the rule of law.

Marcel Proulx Hull—Aylmer, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my Bloc Québécois colleague a question.
The Conservative Party is trying to find out whether Elections Canada may have made a mistake. I believe my colleague gave a good answer to the question.
If the Conservative Party is really sincere about its question, why are the Conservatives forced to use altered or even forged information in making accusations against the three opposition parties in this House?
Yesterday, I listened to the Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board. In committee, the Conservatives repeatedly levelled the same accusations against us, saying that all the parties—the three opposition parties and they themselves—committed the same sin. However, we know full well that the Bloc Québécois, the NDP and the Liberal Party of Canada did not use this method during the most recent election.
What does my colleague think? If Elections Canada made a mistake, why does he think the Conservative government has to use altered information to make its case?

10:35 a.m.
Michel Guimond Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, QC
Mr. Speaker, it boils down to the weakness of the Conservatives' arguments. That is the typical reaction of someone who has no good arguments, someone who is not on solid ground. My training as a lawyer and my experience in court have taught me that. When the lawyers opposite me knew they did not have a case, they found ways of fiddling with the truth by attempting to interpret the rules of law to suit his case. Fortunately, the situation was remedied when the judges handed down their verdicts.
This is the approach used by those who have a guilty conscience. Instead, the Conservatives should face reality and admit that they used the in and out scheme to the tune of $1.2 million in the 2006 election campaign and exceeded the $18 million spending limit.
We have a series of e-mails in which the ad-buying agency, on the verge of exceeding the $18 million limit, wondered what to do. At that point, the Conservatives dreamed up the strategy of invoicing the ridings for $1.2 million for local advertising when, in fact, the content was the same as that in national advertising and there was nothing local about it.

Chocolate Pistachio Fudge
Recipe courtesy of Nigella Lawson
- Nigella Express
I am willing to believe that a confectioner wouldn't call this proper fudge, but it tastes divine, and you won't need a sugar thermometer[ or have to test for frightening soft or hard ball stages. I like this best made slightly less express, but with no greater effort, by stashing it in the deep freeze. It goes really grainy and fudgy this way. If I'm not handing this straight round at a party or with coffee after dinner, I might keep half in my freezer and put the other half in one or two boxes for Christmas presents. Make sure they stay cold, though.]
- 12 ounces 70 percent dark chocolate, chopped or 12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 (14-ounce) can condensed milk
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup shelled pistachios
Melt the chopped chocolate, condensed milk and salt in a heavy based pan on a low heat.
Put the nuts into a freezer bag and bash them with a rolling pin, until broken up into both big and little pieces.
Add the nuts to the melted chocolate and condensed milk and stir well to mix.
Pour this mixture into a 9-inch square foil tray, smoothing the top.
Let the fudge cool and then refrigerate until set. You can then cut into small pieces approximately 3/4 by 1 3/4 inches or cutting 8 by 8 lines in the tin to give 64 pieces.
Once cut you can keep it in the freezer, no need to thaw just eat straight away.

My Boys' New Celebrity Hereos: The Yellowjackets (ok mine too!)
Up until a few weeks ago, my boys' celebrity heroes were: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Sydney Crosby and Ryan Miller.
Now they are enamored by an entire team and that team wears YELLOW!
The University of Rochester's male a cappella group The Yellowjackets have recently buzzed into living rooms nationwide on the popular NBC show "The Sing Off."
Competing against fifteen other of the nation's top a capella groups – like the Dartmouth Aires – The Yellowjackets have consistently wowed judges Ben Folds, Sara Bareilles, and Shawn Stockman.
And my boys Brice and Brady.
On Thursday I brought Brice and Brady to the University of Rochester with me for the first day of alumni weekend.
The boys were excited to go onto campus – not only to see my school (I am an alumna of the Class of 1997) but to spot a Yellowjacket.
As I picked my tickets for alumni weekend up in the student commons, my little guy Brady, 4, noticed a male college student in a yellow varsity jacket.
Brady's eyes lit up as he pointed and exclaimed "[Is] he a Yellowjacket Mom?"
The college student laughed and looked pleased to be confused for one of "those" Yellowjackets. (his jacket was for the U of R's Swimming and Diving team)
I'm thrilled that my boys finally have celebrity role models aside from athletes.
I can't think of better boys for mine to look up to then a group with creativity, intellect, artistic talent, and philanthropic spirit.
The Yellowjackets went to Kenya in June to teach music to children there. The first performance they delivered on The Sing Off was a tribute to their time in Kenya and gives me chills every time I hear it.
'Wavin' Flag' by The Yellowjackets is seriously one of the most powerful and inspiring things I've seen on television in a very long time.
And, I have to say, I look up to the Yellowjackets too and always have.
But, that is not something unique to me. Long before The Yellowjackets became t.v. stars, they were stars on campus. Their musical abilities and energy on stage have wowed the U of R community since 1956.
Never was that more obvious to me then last night when I attended the Yellowjackets' 55th Anniversery Concert for alumni of the university. The sold-out concert featured Yellowjackets from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and the current group.
The show was outstanding and you could literally see the solid, talented, shoulders from which the current group regally stands.
The only bad thing about the concert was that I couldn't let Brice and Brady know I went. It was too late in the evening to take them.
Plus, something tells me there are many Yellowjackets' concerts in their future. And that's a very good thing.

Does your costco still carry it? Mine stopped about a year and a half ago.
As far as I know, both of the stores in Houston still carry it. I was in one a few weeks ago, and they had it.
Would you say that the fresh mozz. that you helped make at Tom's was better than Houston's freshest Buffula? Or, is the fat/flavor still above the fresh mozz?
..... Dying to try to see if the taste justifies the price vs whole milk mozz we sometimesget at Traders or Sprouts nearby.....
Do you remember what the brand of WM mozz is from sprouts? I don't think mine has it.

Aptos Eastern White Pine Living Room
Eastern White Pine flooring is regarded as America's most time-honored wood for wide plank floors.
Carlisle Eastern White Pine floors are hand selected from the heartwood of timbers grown exclusively in New England where the cold climate allows the trees to grow slower and reach full maturity. This floor provides a smooth grain, beautiful knots, and versatile finish capabilities.
Eastern White Pine is known as a softer floor, that will naturally wear over time. But this softness should not be confused with the longevity of the floor. Eastern White Pine floors have graced homes along the Eastern Seaboard for over 300 years. As you live on the floor, it will get harder as the fibers of the wood compress. Over time the character that develops will add warmth and charm to your floor, and your home.

Monk's Dream: Fifty Years Fresh on JazzSet
March 30, 2012. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: Benny Green, JazzSet, Monk's Dream
JazzSet's Mark Schramm got the story: Not long after Thelonious Monk was on the cover of TIME magazine in 1964, a saxophonist and sculptor named Bert Green played "Monk's Dream" for his son Benny in the garage of their family home in Berkeley, CA. It was the first music Benny ever heard, his primary influence.
Now Benny -- Oscar Peterson's choice for the Glenn Gould Protege Prize in 1994 -- is coming back to his source.
Peter Washington is on bass, Kenny Washington on drums, with special guest baritone sax man Gary Smulyan. Maybe you're wondering if the bari can thrive outside a big band. Well, tune right in because Smulyan's stamina and musicality make for serious fun, right in line with the one-of-a-kind, quirky, syncopated, logical, every-note-counts tunes by Thelonious, and the spot-on delivery from Benny, Peter and Kenny.
Sunday, April 1, at 6pm and Wednesday, April 4, at 6:30 .. or any time this week online at wbgo.org/jazzset.

However, proof sets containing all four Presidential Dollars were released throughout the year by the U.S. Mint. All Proof Presidential Dollar coins including the William Harrison Dollars are common in PR68 - PR69 Deep Cameo condition. In PR70 Deep Cameo condition they are a little more uncommon but there's more than enough coins to meet the demand.

Hey, I'm looking to buy (or generally acquire) an old laptop to type things on, it doesn't need to have lots of memory or internet access or good speakers or anything like that, it's for writing only. In fact, no internet would be better because I am easily distracted. I want to pay less than £100, and generally as little as possible. Because I would rather spend all my money on booze and international flights.
Do any of you computer people know where best to get refurbished laptops cheap?
Also, any recommendations on which brands/models age best? I want something reliable and durable, not so worried about speed/portability etc.

Pesticide Registration Improvement Act Partnership Grants
Since inception, the PRIA Partnership has awarded $2.3 million to support eleven grant projects. These projects are helping growers shift to more comprehensive use of IPM techniques, spreading IPM into the nation's schools and urban environments, and characterizing the environmental factors affecting infectious disease transmission to humans.
Established in 2008, the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act Partnership (PRIA) funds grant projects that advance public-private partnerships focusing on pesticide stewardship efforts, especially the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Projects utilize demonstration, outreach, and/or education to increase the adoption of reduced-risk/IPM approaches.
Active PRIA Grants
- Michigan State University - Demonstration of Strip Cultivation to Reduce Herbicide Use in North-Central and North-Eastern Perennial Fruit Production (2011)
- University of Georgia - Developing an Integrated Management Program for the Environmentally and Economically Sustainable Control of Glyphosate-Resistant Palmer Amaranth in Conservation Tillage Cotton (2011)
- University of California - Riverside - IPM Strategies for Controlling Ants and Reducing Pesticide Runoff (2011)
- IPM Institute of North America - Healthy School Communities through IPM and Expanded Partnerships: Reducing Pest and Pesticide Risks, Improving Asthma Outcomes and Furthering Environmental Justice (2010)
- Michigan State University - Effective Soil-Based Biopesticide and Nutrient Delivery in Orchard Ecosystems (2010)
What Types of Projects Do PRIA Partnership Grants Support?
The PRIA partnership seeks to achieve the following goals:
- Promote partnerships between stakeholders, producers, commodity groups, scientists, extension, and government agencies to demonstrate, promote, and expand reduced-risk/IPM practices
- Measure and document the effects and impacts of using the reduced risk/IPM programs on the environment, human health, and community
- Promote the economic benefits of implementing IPM approaches and provide pesticide users data and analysis on costs associated with adopting IPM
Who Can Apply for a PRIA Partnership Grant?
Funding has historically been available to:
- States
- U.S. territories or possessions
- Federally recognized Indian Tribal Governments
- Native American Organizations
- Public and private universities
- Hospitals and laboratories
- Commodity organizations, farmer groups, and other public or private nonprofit institutions
- Individuals
When Can I Apply?
Due to budgetary consideration, the Agency will not be soliciting applications under this program during fiscal year 2013.
