Statement made on 24 November 2009 by Senator Claudette Tardif

Hon. Claudette Tardif (Deputy Leader of the Opposition):

Madam Leader, the Departmental Performance Report (DPR), 2008-09, of the Department of Canadian Heritage has already been published. Your government seems disinclined to publish a report on the status of official languages. However, the Report on Official Languages 2007-08 has not yet been published. Soon it will be 2010. Can the government leader tell us when the report will be tabled?

Economic Action Plan 2013 Bill, No. 1—Second Reading

13 Jun, 2013 | By Senator Joseph Day | I would first like to congratulate Senator Buth for rapidly becoming the expert on omnibus bills here in the chamber, having sponsored last year's as well as this year's. The fact that this year's omnibus bill is about half the size of last year's is an indication that something she is doing is working, but we have to keep working to bring this down even further.

Third reading of Bill C-15, National Defence Act—Proposed amendment

13 Jun, 2013 | By Senator Joan Fraser | Honourable senators, I rise to speak in support of Senator Dallaire's amendment. As Senator Dallaire said in the chamber yesterday, there are many good things in this bill, and I know that it has been a long time in the drafting and that careful consideration has gone into its creation. I support much of it.

Removal of Equipment from Afghanistan

13 Jun, 2013 | By Senator Percy Downe | I wonder if the government could provide an inventory of what was actually left behind in Afghanistan, and the value of what was left behind when we departed.
