Transcript:
"Mr.
Speaker, during the current global downturn, one thing has become
crystal clear: Canada's economy is holding up better than most
and we are leading the global recovery.
Today's OECD economic report confirms that. Now while the
global recovery is fragile and tentative, Canada is among the
strongest in the G7 in terms of GDP growth for next year, and
we will lead the G7 in growth in 2011. The OECD also notes that
our Conservative government's action plan, especially our infrastructure
and home renovation tax benefit, is helping fuel the recovery.
We cannot be distracted. We need to stay the course. We need
to focus on the economy and fully implement Canada's action plan.
That is what the OECD is recommending and that is precisely what
this Conservative government is doing.
We are fighting the recession, while the Liberal leader and
his party vote time and time again against the recovery and for
an election. This shows clearly and sadly that they are not in
it for Canadians; they are in it for themselves."

"
Mr. Speaker, service organizations in Prince Edward-Hastings like
the Rotary, Legion, Knights of Columbus, Lions Club, Kiwanis,
Shriners, Elks, Kinsmen, among many others, have been responsible
for bettering our communities and helping thousands of people.
One particular organization in my riding currently involved in
a very worthy initiative is the Prince Edward-Hastings District
Masons, who are volunteers in the Masonic child identification
program. This program is one of the most comprehensive child recovery,
identification and abduction awareness programs in use today.
With individually tailored child ID kits, it provides all parents
with a tool for helping to keep their children safe. Thanks to
the masons of Prince Edward district. We appreciate its effort
to protect the ones we love.
I would also like to take a moment to congratulate a very special
constituent who truly is an inspiration to one and all. While
standing only 4 feet 9 inches, 114 pounds and 65 years young,
Kenzo Dozono, an eighth-degree black belt, recently took home
three gold medals from the World Karate Open Championships in
Athens, Greece. Congratulations, Kenzo."

"Mr.
Speaker, I rise in the House today to congratulate a special musical
group that is very close to the hearts of many people in their
hometown of Belleville, Ontario and as far away as Liverpool,
England. The groups name is All You Need is Love.
This tremendously
talented group compromised of members, Andy Forgie, Mark Rashotte,
Steve Smith, Vitas Slapkauskas, Al Haring, Francis Rose and Wayne
McFaul, celebrate the ageless music of the Beatles, and for the
third consecutive year in 2008 were again invited to perform in
Liverpool, England during the extremely popular Beatle Week.
Not only do they thrill audiences in Liverpool, they are the star
performers and organizers at a Beatles festival held annually
in Belleville. These musicians also believe in giving back to
their community and have, with their music, raised over $100,000
for women's shelters, locally and across Canada, and have also
raised funds for the tsunami relief effort.
For their great achievements in music, for sharing some of the
world's most beloved music with all of us, and for their dedication
to helping those less fortunate, on behalf of the good citizens
of Prince Edward-Hastings I wish to convey my sincerest congratulations
and thanks."

"Canada's
Cement Industry"

Transcript:
"Mr.
Speaker, today, the presidents and CEOs representing Canada's
cement industry, including from my riding the Essroc Cement plant
in Picton, are visiting Parliament.
The cement industry wishes to pass along to the House its congratulations
to the Government of Canada for this government's swift action
to accelerate the delivery of infrastructure investment and getting
shovel-ready projects under way.
The cement industry will play a very important role in the infrastructure
investments detailed in Canada's economic action plan. Cement
is the critical ingredient in concrete and is an essential construction
material designed for building sustainable infrastructure across
Canada.
As cement is used in concrete to lay a rock-solid foundation to
buildings, bridges and highways, so has this Government of Canada
laid a solid foundation with its infrastructure investments in
the economic action plan; a foundation that will protect the prosperity
and lives of Canadians from coast to coast to coast."

"Delivering
Accountability and Transparency"

Transcript:
"Mr.
Speaker, as we pass through this difficult period of economic
uncertainty, Canadians want to be assured their government is
accountable and responsible in its actions.
Last week,
in the public accounts committee, we heard testimony from representatives
from the Auditor General's Office, where they stated:
We commend
the government for producing financial statements that are fairly
stated in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles. In our view, Canada continues to demonstrate leadership
in financial reporting by a national government.
The committee chair also stated: As has been said by colleagues,
this is a clean report. It's been 10 consecutive years now where
we've had a clean report, unqualified, from the Auditor General,
with a high level of transparency, consistency of accuracy, and
I think we, and all Canadians, should be very proud of that fact.
I
could not
agree
more. Canadians want an accountable government. The government is
delivering."

"Rural
Broadband"

Transcript:
Member
of Parliament, Daryl Kramp: "Canada is a world leader
in providing Internet access to its citizens", said Mr. Kramp.
"However in rural communities like mine across Canada, gaps
in access to broadband remain. We believe gaining access to broadband
is critical for these communities, not only for the ability of
rural Canadians to communicate but for our local businesses to
compete in the global economy. Could the minister today please
inform this House what Canada's economic action plan does to help
promote broadband access to rural and remote communities?"
Minister
of Industry, the Honourable Tony Clement:
"Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. Member for
the question and congratulate him on his boundless advocacy and
great work on this particular file. He really has been an excellent
MP working for his constituents. I am a representative of a large
rural riding myself and I can tell the House that I know the necessity
of expanding broadband access for jobs, hope and opportunity in
the future. Budget 2009 is meeting that call. It is providing
$225 million over three years to extend broadband coverage to
all unserved areas. This is important for rural and remote communities,
but most importantly, this is nation-building. This is important
for the future of Canada."

"Congratulations,
Madam Speaker, and to all my esteemed colleagues.
Please allow me to take the opportunity today to thank the good
citizens of Prince Edward--Hastings for once again electing me
for the third time to represent them in this Parliament.
Today I wish to formally commend the passion and support exhibited
by the municipality and the citizens of Tweed toward our Canadian
soldiers.
Buses loaded with Canadian troops bound for Afghanistan have been
passing through Tweed from Petawawa on their way to Trenton for
departure, and each time they have received a huge farewell from
the residents.
I was honoured to join the hundreds of school children, moms,
dads, grandparents, families, legion members and municipal officials
who came out to pay their respects and wish them well.
It was an extremely moving event to see such overwhelming and
heartfelt support for our young military men and women.
Tweed residents, legion members, and the town's municipal leaders
deserve our respect and congratulations for illustrating just
what it means to be a proud and grateful Canadian."
