But even if Harper took over, the optics of him forming a quasi-coalition with the Bloc would have been so bad to ensure he'd never win again. |
|
In 1993, the Bloc captured more than two thirds of Quebec ridings and became the official opposition. |
|
The Member for Essex delivered a fiery speech, but I think the quote of the day goes to a Member from the Bloc whose riding I didn't catch. |
|
Asking for the Bloc vote, he said that by voting for the sovereigntists, Quebeckers risked voting for the same result. |
|
The rise of managed economies in the Eastern Bloc was also responsible for increased government interference in the macroeconomy. |
|
The Left Bloc began by bringing together people from different traditions of the radical left in Portugal. |
|
Now that I have cleared that up, it should be evident that this has always been a goal of the Bloc Québécois. |
|
Here you can take a stroll along the boulevard, browse in the shops or take a boat trip to Port Bloc on the other side of the Gironde river. |
|
The time has come, my dear Bloc Québécois, to turn to the PQ since that is what you want. |
|
We need the Bloc to support us and to get something done on climate change. |
|
What we in the Bloc Québécois are saying is yes, we want to get down to work, but we need to guarantee results. |
|
I would like to begin with a few comments for the member who just rebuffed our Bloc Québécois colleague. |
|
The NDP often accuses us of all manner of things in this area, but the Bloc Québécois has always been in symbiosis with those industries. |
|
Clearly, the Bloc Québécois will say for the umpteenth time that it is against this free trade agreement. |
|
What is more, we cannot ask much of the Bloc Québécois because it is too busy doing its spring cleaning. |
|
After years in Ottawa, every motion that the Bloc brings forward is sillier than the last. |
|
I also want to commend the Bloc for bringing forward an amendment dealing with the community reinvestment legislation. |
|
I cannot help but conclude that the Bloc Québécois record in 18 years is lighter than a blank sheet of paper. |
|
The Bloc is nothing more than a privileged lobby that enjoys the salaries and social benefits of the very federal system it denounces. |
|
The Bloc Québécois denounces and condemns in the harshest terms the actions of the Soviet Union toward Ukraine. |
|
|
It is odder still that Bloc Quebecois members have taken the same position. |
|
I cannot help but notice that the Bloc motion mentions something about an emphasis on professionalism as distinct from the support of amateurism. |
|
The bill reveals the hypocrisy of the Bloc Québécois on this issue, because it impinges on existing federal laws. |
|
You would never see the Bloc Québécois ever agree to axing the retirement savings programs. |
|
In view of the consensus in Quebec and under pressure from the Bloc Québécois and labour, the Prime Minister backtracked. |
|
Mr. Speaker, they backtracked because Quebec, represented by the Bloc in this House, made them backtrack. |
|
I know the first past the post rewards the Bloc Québécois, and maybe that is something it does not want to encounter. |
|
Mr. Speaker, it always amuses me to hear the Bloc Québécois talk about unfairness. |
|
As the Bloc chirps on, we all understand that the process requires us to be in committee. |
|
The Bloc talks for the sake of talking, but when it is time for action, it smugly rests on its laurels. |
|
It is so simple and it confounds the political experts: why is the Bloc Québécois so popular in Quebec? |
|
The hon. member for Windsor-Tecumseh knows that the Bloc Québécois is not in favour of this, with only a few exceptions. |
|
He instead proposed that the president be compared to Lassie the dog, and yet the Bloc continues to finance this bigoted newspaper. |
|
This is why the Bloc Québécois agreed to leave English documents untranslated. |
|
What the Bloc Quebecois is against is a ban on sponsorships, because it will be irretrievably detrimental to various sports and cultural events. |
|
What is good for the Bloc is good for the government if everyone obeys the law. |
|
I do not quite understand how government members are putting down the Bloc for showing its interest and concern about Canadian culture. |
|
That said, I would like to know what the Bloc Québécois is proposing for the anglophone minority community in Quebec. |
|
The Bloc Québécois is in favour of the bill and salutes the initiative of the member for Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie. |
|
I learned this morning that the Bloc Québécois has prepared a pre-recorded program that it wants to broadcast next week. |
|
|
Josée Verner: Mr. Speaker, I would like very much to answer the Bloc member, but the member for Bourassa will not stop yapping. |
|
However, the Bloc has some concerns about how this bill fits in with the existing legislation. |
|
The Bloc Quebecois invites all Quebecers to encourage volunteers on Daffodil Day in order to give back hope to those who are living with cancer. |
|
I was somewhat under the impression that only some of my colleagues from the Bloc were listening. |
|
I would no more entrust the economic development of Canada to the Bloc than I would entrust the blood bank to Dracula. |
|
The Bloc Québécois and I extend our warmest congratulations to Mr. Sarkozy. |
|
Sadly, I listen day after day to the laments of Bloc members who attack Canada and the federal system. |
|
Mr. Speaker, I was happy to allow the House leader for the Bloc to go ahead of me in the usual order. |
|
He continues to show contempt, as he did just now and will again, because this is the way the Bloc thinks and acts toward us. |
|
If the leader of the Bloc wants to be in power, he should put in for the job in Quebec. |
|
The Bloc would like to ghettoize French and isolate Quebec linguistically by disregarding the situation in the other provinces. |
|
The people know it and the Bloc Québécois knows it, but the current and former governments do not seem to be clued in. |
|
It is not designed for joyriders. My friend from the Bloc talked about the young person who is charged. |
|
I know the critics for the Reform and the Bloc Quebecois have been brought up to speed on the agreement. |
|
It is a sop to Quebec perhaps in general terms but it is certainly not a sop to the Bloc. |
|
Mr. Speaker, it is clear that the Bloc is trying to stir up trouble and create division yet again. |
|
Mr. Speaker, after 18 years of being in Ottawa, the Bloc Québécois is still trying to find ways to stir up trouble here in this House. |
|
I was flabbergasted to see the slogan on the Bloc Québécois website, with the picture of the leader of the Bloc Québécois. |
|
I am calling on the leader of the Bloc Québécois' sense of honour and I am asking him to withdraw his comments. |
|
I do not quite understand. The Bloc is seeming to concentrate on a sense of outrage and injury and I do not see any need for it. |
|
|
This member from the Bloc can huff and puff and fume and point his finger and get as red faced as he wants. |
|
This largely symbolic motion, which passed, was designed to preempt a more extreme one planned by the separatist Bloc Québécois. |
|
If I might say parenthetically, the Bloc is simply interested in pitting Canadians against Canadians. |
|
I understand that the Bloc Quebecois does not take kindly to the ministers' visit to Quebec. |
|
The Bloc Québécois will be taken to task for its powerlessness and inconsistency, since Quebec is growing stronger under our government. |
|
Mr. Speaker, as usual, the Bloc Québécois is trying once again to drive a wedge between the provinces. |
|
Unfortunately, for its own low-minded, ideological reasons, the Bloc voted against protecting our children. |
|
I do not claim to be the incarnation of stability within the Bloc Québécois during what are shaping up to be some interesting times. |
|
I do not know why the Bloc Québécois is playing politics like this, but I believe that the request of the member for Bourassa must be heard. |
|
The opposition parties, the Liberal Party, the Bloc Party and the New Democratic Party have been obstructionist in committee. |
|
Now they want to connive, aided and abetted by the separatist Bloc, to overturn the results of an election held only seven weeks ago. |
|
We heard earlier some members of the Bloc castigating the government for the fact that it is not doing enough to assist women. |
|
In the opinion of the Bloc Québécois, the minister must not be permitted to depoliticize operations that will have an impact on public policy. |
|
The Bloc has few references to crime in their platform but wants to take aim at gangs and to confiscate goods acquired through crime. |
|
I certainly understand that the Bloc Québécois, since the last election, is trying to keep up its mudslinging. |
|
While the Bloc leader is gallivanting about the country, we are working to stimulate the economy. |
|
I beg to differ with the comments of my colleague from the Bloc that drunk driving numbers are down. |
|
As far as the Bloc Quebecois is concerned, we know that our high standards of ethics place us above suspicion. |
|
Madam Speaker, unfortunately, it is just like the Bloc members to politicize things that they can have no control over. |
|
I would have to take what the Bloc says with a grain of salt when it comes to justice issues. |
|
|
We were new to the House, but the Bloc Québécois members were not quite like all of the other boneheads. |
|
The behaviour of the Bloc and the vileness of their attacks are certainly among the worst. |
|
I find it most interesting that the Bloc would want the federal government to bow out of environment on the federal arena. |
|
So it arrogated unto itself the override power in section 347, which has now led to the Bloc Québécois opposing this bill. |
|
The Bloc always has been and always will be unable to put an end to the centralist and paternalistic designs of the federal Liberals. |
|
The Bloc and the Conservatives seem to have formed an unholy alliance, and we have seen some strange bedfellows in this House. |
|
It is deeply regrettable when we get to a point where members of the Bloc Québécois are clearly casting aspersions. |
|
They never supported the Afghanistan mission and neither did the Bloc, so it is understandable that the opposition is on a fishing expedition. |
|
More importantly, why is the Bloc aiding and abetting splinter groups that are trying to deny a defining event in our history? |
|
Among other things they have suggested that the Bloc supports pedophiles, Liberals are anti-Semitic or unpatriotic. |
|
The leader of the Bloc Québécois expressed concern about stigmatizing rapists. |
|
That is standard procedure and the Bloc Québécois is in favour of this kind of treaty. |
|
A few weeks ago, the Bloc Québécois leader was in Quebec City to inspect the sprinkler system at the armoury. |
|
Obviously, the Bloc Québécois will always remain faithful to its principles and will support a peaceful resolution to the conflict. |
|
What is saddening today is the Liberals and the Bloc are endorsing their positions against sustainable development. |
|
One was that first of all he was making a very Bloc Quebecois statement, one that is enshrouded a little in mystery. |
|
The vast majority of bicycle manufacturers in this country do not support the policies that the member from the Bloc Québécois is proffering. |
|
I think that the motion is very well constructed, and therefore the Bloc Québécois will support it. |
|
But until now, I guarantee you that the members of the Bloc and the federal Liberals are going to get hot in Gatineau! |
|
The Bloc denounced the softwood lumber agreement but, after a few weeks of waffling, it supported the agreement. |
|
|
However, he is misrepresenting reality by saying that the Bloc is preventing the passage of this bill. |
|
I admonish the Bloc members who will not be supporting Bill C-48 unless they change their minds, because there are good things for Quebeckers. |
|
I will certainly not give the Bloc leader the satisfaction of hearing me say that we want to eliminate or emasculate Elections Canada. |
|
Next it's Bloc Party who are, I've discovered, enduringly popular in Australia. |
|
I have worked with a number of Bloc members on committee and have found them to be people of kindred spirit. |
|
The Bloc Québécois advocates a justice system that is truly effective in reducing crime, a system based on the individualization of sentences. |
|
Higher education was reoriented toward the socialist bloc, and students went to study in Vietnam, the Soviet Union, and other Eastern Bloc countries. |
|
The Bloc is crying crocodile tears, claiming that the Conservatives are not helping the forestry industry. |
|
I did not know the Bloc was back to the socialistic mentality of 50 or 60 years ago, but in a free market economy companies need capital. |
|
We in the Bloc Québécois know that it shows a sense of duty and responsibility to call for sufficient funding. |
|
How can he accuse the Bloc Quebecois of shying away from debate when he just voted in favor of time allocation? |
|
As my hon. colleague from the Bloc Quebecois said, this could be a consolation prize. |
|
We are taking action, while the eternal leader of the Bloc Québécois continues to gad about. |
|
As my colleague from the Bloc alluded to, we get a piece of paper that is blanked out, with one or two words on it. |
|
By continuing to serve as props in the NDP's publicity stunt, the Bloc is once again showing that it is irresponsible. |
|
Has the Bloc member philosophized at all as to what this will cost taxpayers to send back their own money? |
|
I think the best thing to straighten out the attitude of the Bloc members would be if they discovered oil and gas in Quebec. |
|
They will be asked whether they were in bed with the Bloc, whether those two parties were being obstreperous. |
|
First off, I want to emphasize how proud I am to see that the Bloc Québécois' hard work to eliminate the fiscal imbalance is finally paying off. |
|
This is why the Bloc will forever be in opposition purgatory before its eventual obliteration at the polls. |
|
|
This is the result of the sellout agreement the Conservatives signed with the support of the Bloc. |
|
It seems to me that the Bloc amendments propose to achieve by indirection constitutional changes that belong elsewhere. |
|
Since the beginning of the crisis, the Bloc has avoided being alarmist about public health measures. |
|
I can say right off the bat that the Bloc Québécois will vote against this bill. |
|
The Bloc Quebecois's sovereigntist thrust must not mean a kind of isolationism, heedless of our responsibilities to our strategic allies. |
|
Is the Bloc doing this because it is concerned about the safety and quality of food or because it is one of those bugbears? |
|
The Jamestown Foundation Jamestown is a unique organization founded in the early eighties to assist asylees and defectors from the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc countries. |
|
The best thing for the Bloc is that it is allowed to stand up and be sanctimonious forever in the House. |
|
I think that the country can heave a great sigh of relief that no members of the Bloc are actually at the negotiating table. |
|
I commend the member for Ahuntsic for fighting this battle so tenaciously for the Bloc. |
|
The Bloc Québécois congratulates Gérald Guy Caza and encourages him to continue his work on behalf of Quebec society with gusto. |
|
In fact, I am not persuaded that my Bloc Québécois colleague knew what a hot topic this would be at the time when it came to be debated. |
|
The time is long past, my rich Bloc Québécois friends, for sitting on your salaries and your pensions. |
|
It comes from in-depth study by the Bloc and its supporters over the years. |
|
Mr. Speaker, for umpteen days we have been getting this question from the Bloc Québécois on this private member's bill. |
|
The Bloc Québécois cannot support the implementation of the Canada-Colombia free trade agreement, as it stands. |
|
It is pointless for Bloc members to not do their homework and vote for something without being aware of the real consequences of their actions. |
|
Bearing in mind consumer vulnerability in the current crisis, the Bloc supports the motion. |
|
I do acknowledge that the Bloc Quebecois has been adamant and unceasing in its search for an answer to this question. |
|
There was a Bloc member yesterday who pointed to the bill and was touting the fact that these offences are going to slow these people down. |
|
|
Quite frankly, I think the NDP and the Bloc positions are right off the wall. |
|
If the Bloc members were really serious about this, they would get onside with our program and support it moving ahead. |
|
The Bloc often takes a narrow and isolationist approach to economic matters, so it is nice to see it put country before its own party interests. |
|
Of course, it's the fault of the Bloc Québécois, but perhaps we should remember how the government has wanted to steamroller democracy. |
|
It is not blah, blah, blah, which we have heard for too long from the Bloc. |
|
The Bloc had many reservations about the vagueness that remained and surrounded the concept of the family. |
|
I therefore reaffirm the Bloc Québécois' unfailing support for victims of crime. |
|
On behalf of the Bloc Québécois members and myself, I congratulate Chloé Legris for her well-deserved award. |
|
Nghia, a writer and founding member of an outlawed democracy movement known as Bloc 8406, has been detained since last September. |
|
Mr. Speaker, I understand that our Bloc Québécois friends are determined to keep bringing up the past. |
|
My colleagues in the Bloc Québécois and I are delighted to draw attention to the work done by Ms. Crawford and to congratulate her on this award. |
|
I ask and plead with the NDP and the Bloc members as well as those senators to stop the charade. |
|
My colleagues from the Bloc Québécois and myself will continue to doggedly defend the interests of all Quebeckers. |
|
The Bloc Québécois members here will therefore continue to doggedly defend that position. |
|
I would like to remind hon. members and the public that the Bloc Quebecois played a key role in uncovering this scandal. |
|
Not only does the Bloc Québécois denounce them, but it sometimes manages to counter them. |
|
When the Prime Minister said that the Bloc Québécois did not support the upcoming bill on income trusts, he was deceiving the people. |
|
The Bloc Québécois hopes both sides will increase their efforts to ratify that agreement, especially since peace is within reach. |
|
I will therefore yield to the work that the committee will do, and in particular the work of my colleague in the Bloc Québécois. |
|
I am saddened by the Bloc Québécois' cavalier dismissal of a question as important as this one for Quebeckers. |
|
|
There are five spots left in the last round: New Democrat, Bloc Québécois, Conservative, Conservative, and Liberal. |
|
The Bloc Québécois has for many years recognized aboriginal peoples' right to self-determination. |
|
I do not think the opposition Bloc members give a hoot about having a TGV going all the way to the Gaspé because it is not feasible. |
|
The Bloc motion seeks to raise the awareness of this totally apathetic Conservative government, to wake it up. |
|
I am saddened to hear the Bloc, those members who are all talk and no action. |
|
The Liberals have ganged up with the Bloc in trying to find a way to condemn the government for doing what it had to do. |
|
It is better late than never because the Bloc has constantly blocked our initiatives. |
|
The Bloc Québécois wonders why it takes a complaint and a request by the minister to set the wheels in motion. |
|
The Bloc Québécois would have liked it if the new government had taken the time to really analyse the impact on the provinces. |
|
Last week, the Bloc rolled the dice and, with its Monopoly money, proposed a budget that would plunge the country back into deficit. |
|
I quickly want to talk about the Bloc Québécois' prebudget consultations and our many expectations of this budget. |
|
He grovelled before federalist MPs in Ottawa instead of fighting for Gatineau, the way the Bloc Québécois does. |
|
When I said that Bloc members were misinformed, I was referring to their knowledge of francophone and francophile communities outside Quebec. |
|
The Bloc Quebecois has provided the real numbers, while the parliamentary secretary has pulled them out of thin air. |
|
The Bloc Québécois reminds this government and the other parties that this motion encroaches on the jurisdictions of the provinces. |
|
The Bloc Québécois cannot vote in favour of this motion because it encroaches on an area of provincial jurisdiction. |
|
The Bloc Québécois understands the importance of public security and understands that special measures need to be taken in special circumstances. |
|
The Bloc Quebecois sympathizes with those who have been affected, directly or indirectly, by the situation. |
|
What, pray tell, incredulous Bloc MPs are now wondering caused such a glowing reaction to budget 2009 in la belle province? |
|
The Bloc Québécois has called for the elimination of the waiting period, which defers eligibility by two weeks. |
|
|
A few years later, with his Bill C-287, the hon. member for Davenport hearkened back to the position of the Bloc Quebecois. |
|
Mr. Speaker, I have a question for my colleague from the Bloc who just huffed and puffed in front of us. |
|
I merely wish to say that, in the 75 Quebec ridings, the Bloc Québécois has a tough political machine, as our opponents are well aware. |
|
The member for the Bloc may have misspoken when he referred to requests for information going to the commissioner. |
|
The member who just spoke prior to me talked about the unholy alliance between the Conservatives and the Bloc Québécois. |
|
East Germany was an Eastern Bloc state under political and military control by the USSR via occupation forces and the Warsaw Pact. |
|
Today, we see that the members of the Bloc have thrown in the towel, while still keeping their hands on the benefits of Canadian federalism and relegating Quebec to the opposition benches. |
|
We are working diligently and intelligently on this highly complex issue with the full intention of helping our people, but not with the grandstanding approach the Bloc members would like. |
|
The Bloc Québécois is trying to make a big deal out of this. |
|
When asked to comment on this poll, the leader of the Bloc decided, as he usually does when at a loss for a reply, to put the blame on the Canadian government, claiming that his party's priority is economic issues. |
|
The inclusion of an explicitly separatist party in the ruling coalition in the form of the Bloc Quebecois would likely cause some trepidation in financial markets, especially on the part of international investors. |
|
The Bloc, we were told, was going to ride off into the sunset on that great evening when the referendum was won and its members would return to their land as conquering heroes. |
|
Some have said that the Bloc leader bosses his troops around like a drill sergeant, and others have talked about an unhealthy environment where verbal violence reigns and lack of respect is an everyday reality. |
|
We in the Bloc Quebecois are not particularly enamored of the institution of the Canadian parliament, but it seems to us that it must be respected, as all of the world's parliaments must be respected. |
|
On behalf of myself and my colleagues from the Bloc Québécois, I encourage my fellow citizens to take part in the activities marking Black History Month, thus promoting the development of closer ties with that community. |
|
The hon. member, the NDP caucus and the Conservative caucus have been collaborating very well on the anti-spam legislation, despite the efforts of the Liberals and the Bloc to cave in to corporate interests. |
|
I know this agitates the Bloc members but the reality out there is that investment gets very nervous when it is looking at a province headed by a separatist. |
|
I am appealing to the leader of the Bloc Québécois' sense of honour and asking him to use parliamentary language and behave appropriately in the House. |
|
I am directing my remarks to our colleagues from the Bloc Quebecois too. Instead of attacking one another, stirring up bad feelings, I would rather we proudly identify ourselves as Canadians. |
|
He stressed the fact that André Bellavance and Ève-Marie Thaï Thi Lac, Bloc critics for agriculture, will have to respond to this change in direction. |
|
|
I believe-or at least I hope-that on this point all the parliamentarians in this House will have the full support of all the men and women of the Bloc Québécois deputation. |
|
Never giving up hope, however, the leader of the New Democratic Party, the member for Toronto-Danforth, contacted the leader of the Bloc Québécois to propose an amendment. |
|
I would like to move beyond this family feud between Quebec Liberals and Bloc members over the College Saint-Jean to something of national importance. |
|
Instead, a much more humane approach, exactly as the Bloc has proposed, would be this bridging program that allows people to move and bridge from their work career into retirement. |
|
The Bloc has been on a mission to bust up this country. |
|
The Bloc Québécois is totally opposed to this legislation which, once again, is on the wrong track, because it is focusing on repression rather than prevention and rehabilitation. |
|
The Bloc Québécois firmly believes that taking preventive action and tackling factors that lead to crime are sure ways to prevent human and family tragedies. |
|
The Bloc Québécois believes that they have a legitimate right to express their concerns and ask questions about the future of their retirement fund. |
|
Perhaps he was trying to think of the riding name of Argenteuil-Papineau-Mirabel when he was referring to the member from the Bloc and will not use the member's proper name again. |
|
Whether in 1993, 1997, 2000, 2004, 2006 or again in 2008 at the last election, the people of Quebec each time decided that the majority of their deputation would be under the Bloc Québécois banner. |
|
The Bloc Québécois does not understand why the other parties are refusing to add teeth to the Competition Act before the summer, thus giving our citizens some breathing room. |
|
My colleagues from the Bloc Quebecois join me in congratulating this unassuming son of a shoe repairman who is now travelling the world and whose achievements showcase, once again, the richness of Quebec's artistic talents. |
|
As such, that part of the Liberals' motion is totally unacceptable to the Bloc Québécois because they are trying, in a roundabout way, to make it all non-taxable. |
|
In a roundabout way, the Bloc members accuse the Conservatives of picking out industries that are pet to them to the exclusion of others when in fact they have done the same thing. |
|
Let us give our Bloc colleagues a word of advice just the same. |
|
It is with great pleasure that I take the floor today, on this Bloc Québécois opposition day which is dealing with an issue of great importance for Quebec. |
|
Mr. Speaker, I think the Bloc Québécois must have a screw loose. |
|
Now, the Bloc can no longer make false allegations or tell tales. |
|
The Bloc supported the Conservatives' budget, but it is impossible to understand why unless we look at it from the Bloc's perspective on the next election. |
|
Mr. Speaker, moments ago, the minister responsible for Quebec told the leader of the Bloc Québécois to stop muddying the waters, and that this happened because there is no harmonized sales tax. |
|
|
I give commendations to the Bloc members because they also opposed it. |
|
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to speak to Bill C-50 and, at the same time, to see the Bloc Québécois, which accuses us of siding with the Conservatives, siding so strongly with the Liberals, the grandmasters of EI cuts. |
|
Finally, the Bloc Québécois will ensure that the statute of limitations in the case of recovery of overpayments by the government is proportional to the period for which individuals can make a claim for an amount due to them. |
|
This government is acting in a clear and prompt manner, unlike the Bloc, which excels in the art of politicizing issues when the time comes to react and take action. |
|
When a Bloc member, a separatist member, demanded from the Speaker that I remove it, I had a short regression to the rebellion of my youth, that type of response. |
|
Actually, I want to thank also my colleague from the Bloc for pointing out this reference book in which he has found a great deal of direction, and he made specific reference to Mr. Warren Allmand. |
|
Why did the government, along with its quisling allies in the Bloc and the northern Ontario Liberals, sell out our economic sovereignty, roll over for America, and refuse to stand up for Canada? |
|
For a few weeks now, the Bloc and its allies have been engaging in another witch hunt, this time on the backs of workers in the forestry industry, in order to score political points. |
|
During the dickering and the give and take that took place what the Bloc member got from the parliamentary secretary was these clauses that annihilate the exemptions. |
|
I hope the government will think it over before the bill is put to a vote, and consider the amendments introduced by the Bloc Quebecois and those by the Reform Party. |
|
The Bloc Québécois has suggested ways of combatting this sort of crime, but the Conservative government is using the victims of Earl Jones to try to make a case for its proposed Canada-wide securities commission. |
|
I have not heard a peep out of the Bloc on this one. |
|
Famous Eastern Bloc defectors included Joseph Stalin's daughter Svetlana Alliluyeva, who denounced Stalin after her 1967 defection. |
|
Eastern Bloc countries such as the Soviet Union had high rates of population growth. |
|
Even by the late 1980s, sanitary conditions in most Eastern Bloc countries were generally far from adequate. |
|
The Eastern Bloc also depended upon the Soviet Union for significant amounts of materials. |
|
The Soviets also modeled economies in the rest of Eastern Bloc outside the Soviet Union along Soviet command economy lines. |
|
In 1947, Stalin had also denounced the Marshall Plan and forbade all Eastern Bloc countries from participating in it. |
|
In addition, the plans' emphasis on quantity rather than quality made Eastern Bloc products less competitive in the world market. |
|
Author Turnock claims that transport in the Eastern Bloc was characterised by poor infrastructural maintenance. |
|
|
Tourism from outside the Eastern Bloc was neglected, while tourism from other Stalinist countries grew within the Eastern Bloc. |
|
But politics are volatile in Ukraine and Opposition Bloc is pushing hard. |
|
The former Soviet Bloc and other Socialist countries used a Socialist law system. |
|
The states of the future Eastern Bloc were also approached, and Czechoslovakia and Poland agreed to attend. |
|
At the same time, the nonparticipation of the states of the Eastern Bloc was one of the first clear signs that the continent was now divided. |
|
Meanwhile, the members of the former Eastern Bloc and Yugoslavia were all starting to move towards EU membership. |
|
For the next 41 years, Czechoslovakia was a Communist state within the Eastern Bloc. |
|
During the four decades of the Cold War, the definition of East and West was rather simplified by the existence of the Eastern Bloc. |
|
I give kudos to the parliamentary secretary, the chair of the committee, all members of the Bloc, and a particular member who put a great deal of extraordinary effort into ensuring the proper balance was met. |
|
In opposing this bill, the Bloc Québécois and Liberal members do not realize how many workers who have had the same job or worked in the same industry their entire lives could end up having to go back to square one. |
|
This is something they cannot afford to let happen, and as a consequence, the rights of Quebec gun owners are sacrificed on the Bloc Québécois altar of political correctness. |
|
Now, it is time for the Conservative federal government and the federalist parties here to make a gesture toward Quebec. a gesture of fairness, by supporting this motion put forward by the Bloc Québécois. |
|
It always makes me smile when members from the Bloc hold forth and get all worked up, when they are the first to protest against any military spending. |
|

With our good judgment and our sense of responsibility, we in the Bloc Québécois have had occasion to chastise the Conservative government about this issue. |
|
Mr. Speaker, once again, the Prime Minister is ducking the issue. He is not answering my question, which was also asked yesterday by the leader of the Bloc Québécois. |

It is an intelligent way of demanding things for Quebec instead of being content to blather on about newspapers or laughing from the other side of the House about the work the Bloc has been doing for many years. |
|
The Bloc Québécois often raised this issue in committee, because if we implement this bill without having the necessary inspectors or the financial and human resources that are needed, it could quickly become useless. |
