Je considère que l'expérience que vous acquérez en représentant les citoyens au Parlement, à prendre conscience qu'il faut concilier divers intérêts, à étudier des lois, etc., est très utile pour un juge.

The experience that all of you get from representing people in Parliament, from realizing that you have to balance interests, from having to analyse legislation, and so on, I can see as being a very helpful dimension for a judge to have. It will increase the sensitivity of the person as a judge in future. I don't think that should be a disqualification. I think we should be encouraging people to be involved in politics, and not fostering the idea that politics is something nasty that people shouldn't get involved with.

C'est même l'un des meilleurs instituts au monde. On y fait notamment des tests sur l'interaction entre les structures et les vagues, ce qui est très utile pour les projets en haute mer, par exemple. On peut également y élaborer des mesures de prévention de la pollution par les hydrocarbures.

The fifth one is in terms of research and development, access to the Institute for Marine Dynamics, which is in Newfoundland. It's a research installation. They can provide quite advanced testing. Actually, they're one of the leading organizations in the world. They test the interaction of structures and waves, which is very useful for offshore projects, for instance. They can also get involved in oil pollution prevention measures. Those are just a couple of examples of what they do.

On continue à exercer des pressions pour que ce centre continue d'exister parce que c'est une nécessité. Il existe depuis plus de 23 ans et je sais que c'est très utile pour certaines entreprises qui veulent intégrer des personnes handicapées.

We all know that the adapted resources centre was closed on March 31st. The committee wrote to the minister and I have asked for the minister to appear before the committee. The matter is not closed, at least as far as I am concerned. Pressure is still being brought to bear so that the centre remains open, because it is required. It has been in existence more than 23 years and I know it is very helpful for businesses wanting to integrate disabled persons. Rest assured this committee has done a lot of work on that front and we will continue to do so.

M. Charlie Penson: J'ai une petite question pour M. Medhora du CRDI. Il me semble que l'approche adoptée par votre organisation est très utile pour le processus. J'aimerais connaître votre point de vue sur les négociations qui se déroulent actuellement, compte tenu de l'échelle différente des économies, et savoir si les petits pays dont l'économie est plus modeste seront en mesure de respecter le même échéancier, ou au contraire si vous prévoyez d'accorder des conditions spéciales en fonction des différentes situations, pour permettre à ce genre d'économies de s'adapter plus tard aux critères de la ZLEA.

Mr. Charlie Penson: I have a short question for Mr. Medhora from the IDRC. It seems to me the approach your organization is taking is very beneficial to the process. I wonder if you'd comment on the negotiation taking place, given the different scale of size of economies, and whether small countries with small economies will be able to dovetail here on the same timeframe, or if you'd like to see a special consideration for circumstances that would have to be met at a later date in the FTAA for those kinds of economies.

Je voulais mentionner, d'ailleurs, par rapport à votre question sur les collectivités éloignées, que nous faisons des exposés sur le trucage des soumissions pour que les citoyens de localités de toute taille soient bien informés de la nature de ce programme. Les responsables de marchés publics des municipalités peuvent ne pas savoir comment déterminer s'il y a eu collusion, et cette information est très utile pour ce qui est de prévenir la fraude.

In fact, I meant to mention, in terms of your question about remote communities, we do a number of presentations on bid rigging to let people in communities of all sizes know what's going on. Municipalities' procurement organizations sometimes don't know how to watch for bid rigging, and this is very helpful to people to stop the law from being broken. But there are examples of bid rigging that actually do come forward, and that would be in the criminal section.

Just bringing somebody into our country and then basically dropping them on their head does not seem to me to be what you would call a compassionate refugee program. So this is very good information for me.

Nous savons que la science progresse grâce aux discussions entre divers groupes et aux divergences d'opinions relatifs à des articles examinés par des pairs. On sait également qu'un certain débat est très utile pour accroître notre compréhension.

Compare text pagesCompare HTM pagesOpen source URLOpen target URLDefine parl.gc.ca as primary domain

How much scientific evidence is enough? We know science advances by vigorous debate between different groups of people, peer-reviewed articles taking issue with each other, and that a certain amount of debate and discussion is highly valuable in increasing our understanding. So when you're using things like the precautionary principle and looking at subjects as complicated as toxic substances, there's a lot of room for debate.

Il me paraît très utile d'orienter la réflexion sur ces groupes à partir de l'idée qu'il s'agit d'entreprises qui font le commerce de produits, qui se trouvent, à l'heure actuelle, illégaux mais qui sont très profitables parce que ces produits sont très demandés et que l'offre est relativement insuffisante. Ce modèle de l'entreprise commerciale est très utile pour comprendre ce qui se passe et pour ne pas se laisser embarquer par tous les discours que l'on retrouve dans les médias.

I think it's very useful to think analytically in terms of these groups as being businesses engaged in a trade in products that just happens, right now, to be illegal, but highly profitable because these products are in high demand and relatively short supply. You can use these business models quite successfully to understand what's going on and to help you cut through a lot of the rhetoric that gets pumped out in the media.

Je vous dirais que mis à part l'utilisation de l'éthanol comme carburant, qui est assorti de quotas — et ces quotas sont extrêmement importants et sont fixés partout dans le monde —, l'augmentation du taux d'octane de l'éthanol est très utile pour le rendement de l'essence.

The second question is a much more interesting one. If you had asked the same question about gasoline in 1945 what would your answer be? We wouldn't necessarily know. I would tell you that separate and apart from the fuel aspects of ethanol, which are mandated—and those mandates are incredibly important and you see them everywhere in the world—the octane enhancement of ethanol is very valuable in terms of getting performance out of the fuel. It's an octane performance that exists without some toxic substances, like things that are listed under CEPA as toxic, benzene for example. I think the answer to your second question is the more interesting one in that it is a very nice way to enhance the performance of fuel and as such oil and gas companies should use it in the future as an octane enhancer as well as a fuel.

I think the mining code is an interesting example that merits looking into in a more formal way. What are the protests from Colombians? Are they legitimate, and for what reason? What is the process they've gone through? How did Canada become involved in supporting the drafting of the mining code? And in the end, who is going to benefit from this? We could probably come up with some names and addresses, and mail boxes and websites, or something like that. And to be able to map those things out in that way, it's very useful for us to advance the way we do business around the world.

Une des raisons pour lesquelles cette réunion est très utile pour nous est que nous avons entrepris une étude sur les ports pour petits bateaux. Nous en avons délibérément profité pour déposer un rapport intérimaire sur les ports pour petits bateaux avant le congé de Noël afin de vous préparer, vous et notre ministère pour la présentation des prévisions budgétaires, le 26 février, puisque nous en connaissons aujourd'hui la date.

Hon. John Reid: Well, I would make two suggestions. The first is that as an officer of Parliament, I really want to have a special relationship with the people to whom I report, because that is very helpful to me. Not reporting to a minister and not reporting to the civil service, it means that I feel that somehow I don't have anybody to be accountable to, and I feel very embarrassed when I'm not accountable to somebody, because I've always been accountable.

Pour cela, vous allez avoir besoin de beaucoup d'argent, c'est-à-dire que vous allez devoir convaincre des investisseurs que vous approchez du but — nous avons fait à peu près trois années de démonstrations —, et vous allez devoir obtenir que les gens des sables bitumineux vous donnent accès aux résidus, pour analyser les résultats. C'est là que nous avons fait venir TDDC, du côté du gouvernement fédéral. C'est très utile pour passer à l'étape précommerciale.

Then once you have solutions—and in our case we applied for patents and headed into that process—you're going to have to do a demonstration. For that you're going to need a lot of money, so you're going to have to convince investors that something is getting closer here—we went through about three years of demonstrations— and you have to get the oil sands people onside to provide you with tailings, to review results. That's where we brought in SDTC, on the federal government side; it is very helpful in getting you through that pre-commercial stage.
