• MPndp Joe Comartin 57 post Combating Terrorism Act

  Is there difficulty with the system? Does the member have his BlackBerry on his desk?

  I think that the member for Chambly—Borduas is ready to respond.

  We will go back to the hon. member for Winnipeg North to finish the question.

• MPndp LindaDuncanMP 315 post National Hockey Day Act

  moved for leave to introduce Bill C-488, An Act respecting a National Hockey Day.

  Mr. Speaker, this is the second time that I have brought this bill to the House. I am very grateful that my bill is being seconded by my wonderful colleague, the NDP critic for sport, the member for Chambly—Borduas, a great advocate for sport and for our winter national sport, hockey.

  The intention of the bill is to recognize the role that hockey plays in our communities. It is a game played by all ages and by all sexes. It is important for the government to recognize this winter sport and encourage the engagement of everyone, including new Canadians, to encourage new Canadians to get out on local rinks, to flood their backyards and get to know their neighbours by inviting children over.

  Hockey has played a major role in Canadian identity historically and into the future. The intention of the bill is not to put focus on those professional hockey players that people like to fight over, it is quite the reverse. It is to encourage people to get out and watch their kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews or their neighbour's kids and cheer them on. Everyone participates.

  The intention is to declare the third Friday in February national hockey day. Regrettably as a backbencher I cannot say that this will be a statutory holiday, but I am sure that the government would love to adopt the bill and make it so.

  Eric JacquesRentrée parlementaire: les députés de la Rive-Sud défendront les services publics auxquels tiennent les canadiens Opinion | 27 Septembre 2012 À l’occasion de la rentrée parlementaire à Ottawa, les députés Matthew Dubé (Chambly—Borduas), Sadia Groguhé (Saint-Lambert), Hoang Mai (Brossard—La Prairie), Pierre Nantel (Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher) et Djaouida Sellah (Saint-Bruno-Saint-Hubert) annoncent qu’ils s’attelleront à défendre les services publics auxquels tiennent leurs concitoyens. «Notre priorité est de défendre les intérêts des citoyens de la Rive-Sud qui travaillent plus fort que jamais pour joindre les deux bouts. Les conservateurs prétendent que les services publics comme l’assurance-emploi, le système public de santé et la sécurité de la vieillesse coûtent trop cher, alors qu’ils donnent des milliards de dollars en cadeau à l’industrie pétrolière, en subventions et en baisses d’impôt. C’est irresponsable », ont soutenu les députés. SOURCE : http://www.pointsud.ca/

• MPndp Peter Stoffer 332 post Edison Arantes do Nascimento Honorary Citizenship Act

  moved for leave to introduce Bill C-416, An Act to proclaim Edison Arantes do Nascimento an honorary citizen of Canada.

  Mr. Speaker, I rise to tell everyone in the House and those Canadians watching across the country that this fantastic piece of legislation would make Edison Arantes do Nascimento, or Pelé, an honorary citizen of Canada.

  Who is he, members may ask?

  Pelé is the world's greatest soccer player of all time. More importantly, his work for the poor and impoverished, UNESCO and the United Nations has been recognized. He was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire by her Majesty the Queen in 1997. Pelé is, by and large, one of the world's finest citizens to have ever graced this planet, like Gandhi, Mandela, Martin Luther King and many others. In 2014, the World Cup will be in Brazil.

  I want to thank my hon. colleague for Chambly—Borduas for seconding this bill to have Pelé become an honorary Canadian citizen. I think this would be a wonderful tribute to the man, to the country of Brazil, as well as to the relations and cultural contacts Brazil has with Canada.

  We have made other wonderful citizens of the world honorary citizens. I believe that Pelé deserves this title as well. Making Pelé, the world's greatest soccer player of all time, an honorary citizen would be fantastic, not only for the sport of soccer, which, by the way, is my favourite sport, but because he is an absolutely tremendous human being.

• MPcon bruce_stanton 125 post The Budget

  I thank the hon. member for Chambly—Borduas for his intervention.

  As he cited correctly from the Standing Orders, the hon. member for Burnaby—New Westminster continues to have the floor as is accorded to him. Since there is yet to be an amendment to the motion, there cannot be a subamendment.

  We will allow the hon. member for Burnaby--New Westminster to continue at his discretion. He will know that we are coming to the end of the time allotted for government orders for the day.

  The hon. member for Burnaby--New Westminster.

• MPlib Geoff Regan 538 post Purple Day Act

  Madam Speaker, I regret the fact the mover of the bill gets the last five minutes and ends up taking time from the last speaker. I certainly appreciate the member for Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine's comments, and I will say a little more about them later.

  I want to talk about some of the other comments we heard today. I am really grateful for the support of all members, as I am sure Cassidy Megan is as well, the young lady from my riding of Halifax West, who was spoken of so often today.

  I enjoyed all of the speeches today. My colleague from Kingston and the Islands spoke of a young woman from his riding who came to him to talk about this issue. For her it was an issue of overcoming the stigma of having seizures and people's reactions to, and lack of understanding of, them. He, like all of us, I think, has learned more about epilepsy from hearing about it and speaking on this topic.

  My colleague from Oshawa, the parliamentary secretary for health, spoke very touchingly about his personal experience with epilepsy, because he has petit mal epilepsy. He also spoke of a person he talked to who had lost friends because of their seizures when he was a kid and who talked of the impact of that. Imagine what that would be like, how awful that would be for a young person.

  I also appreciated the comments made by the hon. member for Chambly—Borduas, who spoke about the importance of making people aware of epilepsy and how it works.

  I also thought that my colleague from Vegreville—Wainwright spoke very touchingly and powerfully. He said that greater awareness, we hope, will lead to greater action, greater government action, greater action from all of us. That is very much the idea of this bill. He also talked about the personal experience of his own child and the isolation that she has sometimes felt because of a hearing impairment. I appreciate that, as looking forward to his motion on MS, which I congratulate him for moving.

  The member for Pontiac spoke about the difficult situation that people with epilepsy are in and of the lack of resources and support. He also spoke about the discrimination and stigmatization that they face.

  The member for Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine said let us not turn our backs on the 300,000 Canadians living with epilepsy. It is valuable for us to be reminded of how many Canadians actually are affected by this and what it can mean for all of them.

  I want to close, though, with my thoughts and my appreciation of all members, but particularly to Cassidy Megan, the young girl who started all this, of whom I am so proud. This means a great deal to all of us and I look forward to this bill succeeding and I appreciate the support of members.

  Denis BlanchetteDe retour du beau concert présenté par le groupe vocal "Les Loriots" de Cap-Rouge". Sous la direction de M. Tim Vermilyea, de nombreux genres musicaux ont été abordés. Mes coups de coeur de la soirée furent : Un trou dans les nuages" (Michel Rivard) et "Crazy little thing called love" (Queen). Si le coeur vous en dit, Les Loriots cherchent de nouvelles voix. Félicitations aux Loriots pour ce beau concert !
