Bush Administration turning its back on emerging international legal system, Mr. Prime Minister
PARLIAMENT HILL — Dear Prime Minister. You have done the right thing in delaying Canada’s decision about whether or not to participate in the U.S. ballistic Missile Defence Program.

Gun registry deceptive
Dr. Robert Cushman’s letter “Health pros support gun control,” (The Hill Times, April 14) is yet another attempt to take taxpayers off the true issues facing the Canadian Firearms Program (CFP).

There are many ways in which the utilities can get involved. Some have a different challenge from others. Some utilities are Crown corporations and some are in the private sector. It varies, but they will all have to do their share to reduce greenhouse gasses, although they will have to use different methods. Senator Spivak: […]

Senator Milne: Are you relying on the provinces to do this? Mr. Dhaliwal: No, we are taking the lead role. Senator Milne: I was hoping that some of the federal money would be for this and also for R&D on biodiesel. Mr. Dhaliwal: Yes, part of the debate that will happen in the ad hoc […]
