Summary: Trim down your home's energy consumption and increase indoor air quality with Icynene Spray Foam Insulation. Icynene both insulates and air-seals a structure, expanding up to 100 times its size to fill every nook and cranny of the building envelope.
TOM: Hey. It's Tom Kraeutler from The Money Pit and I'm here in New York City with some information on green trends in home improvement.
I'm going to tell you about a great way to trim down your home's energy bills and increase air indoor quality by making one single improvement and that is to apply Icynene spray foam insulation. This is a product that both insulates and air-seals a structure because it expands up to 100 times its size to fill every nook and cranny of a home's building envelope.
Icynene basically delivers a complete seal. It not only stops air leakage but it also keeps out allergens and pollutants, it dampens noise and it even reduces fire risk in unvented attics. I've got a demo box here that kind of shows you the best qualities of these products. Let me explain what you're seeing.
You've got a heat source on the bottom with these light bulbs and you've got a fan. You're blowing warm air up here through three different types of insulation. We have cellulose insulation, we have fiberglass insulation and we have Icynene.
If you'll look, you'll notice that the air is going right through the cellulose. It's also going right through the fiberglass insulation. It's not going through the Icynene. It's being stopped right there.
What does this mean? It means if you have warm air on the outside, it's not getting into your house through the Icynene. If you have cold air on the outside, it's not getting in through the Icynene.
Basically, the little bit of temperature difference between fiberglass and even the Icynene itself, even the simple demo, it's like around 6 to 7 degrees. Imagine if you had 95 degrees in your attic or 100 degrees in your attic, that heat is not going to permeate through into the space below that you're trying to keep air-conditioned.
What does that mean? It means that you're going to cut heat and cooling bills by up to about 50%. That can help you save hundreds of energy dollars every single year.
Now, installing Icynene spray foam also helps you build a greener and a more comfortable home. You can contact your local Icynene dealer for a free quote. You can also learn more about this energy-saving spray foam insulation at icynene.com [2].

NHTSA — Electrical System: Ignition Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: The third generation Durango is plagued by a defective TIPM, particularily in the 2011 and 2012 model years.
TIPM, which stands for Totally Integrated Power Modules, is responsible for controlling and distributing power to all the vehicle's electrical functions. So when your TIPM goes haywire, bad things start happening. Things like your water pump can stop working, your engine can stall out and your airbags can randomly deploy.

Too Narrow
"I really wanted to like these. They are so cute and so adorable. On top of that they were comfortable. However they were SO narrow. Near the arch my foot was hanging over both sides of the shoe. While I don't wear narrow my foot is regular and not wide. I was even debating living with this because I loved the shoes so much but decided I had to return them as they looked silly on."

The Reality TV SAT Question That Stumped Well-Read Nerds
Time was, high school students had to study vocab lists and brush up on their algebra to prepare for the SATs. Now they just have to watch a lot of trashy reality television. The essay question in this year's SATs has caused a stir because it's not about all of the 19th century books and stuff kids have worked their butts off to learn about.
Here's the question, via the New York Times:
Reality television programs, which feature real people engaged in real activities rather than professional actors performing scripted scenes, are increasingly popular.
These shows depict ordinary people competing in everything from singing and dancing to losing weight, or just living their everyday lives. Most people believe that the reality these shows portray is authentic, but they are being misled.
How authentic can these shows be when producers design challenges for the participants and then editors alter filmed scenes?
Do people benefit from forms of entertainment that show so-called reality, or are such forms of entertainment harmful?
Colleges are apparently looking for their applicants to all be excellent pop culture bloggers now. It's like the College Board is just openly mocking kids: Oh, you spent hundreds of dollars on SAT prep courses and books, and studied for hours? We're going to put a question about TEEVEE in there. Sike.

A smooth riding and dependable neutral daily trainer that won't weigh you down, the Mizuno Wave Rider 17 offers moderate cushioning and a semi-firm ride.
High mileage dependability gets a whole lot lighter with the Mizuno Wave Rider 17. Featuring an innovative U4ic midsole for reduced weight without sacrificing cushioning, this neutral trainer keeps you going no matter the mileage. A blown rubber outsole provides traction and durability, and a seamless upper ensures that your foot is wrapped in security and comfort.
Model Number:
Weight: 7.3 oz (size 8)
Stack Height: 31mm (Heel); 18mm (Forefoot)
Available Widths: B=Medium
How it Fits (based on width B)
Comments: Ah, I am not the only one with the crease issue! I have to wear thick socks or I get a bloody toe. I think now, after putting in almost 600 miles, it has stopped bothering me, haha! Other than that I love them.
From: Gretchen, Fairfax, VA, USA. January 15th 2015
Comments: I've worn the Mizuno Wave Riders since 2010. The 17s are wide enough but there is this weird plastic coating that cuts the top of my feet (where the toes connect to the foot). It's incredibly painful. I had the shoes stretched by a podiatrist and that helped but the shoe will cut me on longer runs. I hope the 18s don't have this problem.
From: Anonymous, Sunnyvale, CA, USA. December 16th 2014
Comments: Nice light feel, great color (I got the mint). Overall good shoe except for the crease issue. Cut the tops of my feet on 1st run and 2nd run. Will have to switch to another until this issue is remedied.
From: Claire. September 14th 2014
Comments: I have the wave rider 15 and 16, feet great, even with orthotics. I am a size 39 euro to 39.5 (8-8.5). I had always purchased 8.5, but this time the 8.5 is not true to size, but too long. I realized this too late to return and now have a shoe that is half a size too big. These also just feel very different. I have to find an alternate brand until the next round.
From: Anonymous. June 15th 2014
Comments: They almost have this right. Went from 4mm and 8 mm drops. Took a few runs...but they feel nice. I do get that crease issue that pinches my toe...caused a blister on toe...feels worse when walking then running. Shoe obviously has flaw with this crease complnt.Howver...the the lightness and firm fast feeling is awesome. I went up 1 whole size.
From: Wildflower, PA, USA. June 7th 2014
Comments: I have the 16s and liked them. It was time for new shoes, so I decided to go with the 17s. I love how light they were, and they felt great..except for one major thing. The tops of my toes were cut up within the first three miles from the part where the shoe tongue connects with the rest of the shoe. 2nd run, same thing. I had to change to a different shoe.
From: Christine, Columbus, OH, USA. June 6th 2014
Comments: I have run in the wave riders for the last couple of years but this model is different. The toe box is roomier (I had to go down a half size)but the lace structure cuts into the top of my foot. Had to change to another shoe.
From: Katie. May 9th 2014
Comments: I purchased the 16's last year and LOVED them. Order the 17's in the same size. They run extremely narrow I would recommend ordering a wide or up a half size. Sent these back and ordered the 16's still LOVE them.
From: Jessie, Escanaba, MI, USA. April 24th 2014

BIMS Student Profile – Amanda Miller
by gwilson on Jun.03, 2009, under Uncategorized
Look familiar to you? Amanda Miller once greeted families by the thousands as a celebrity at DisneyWorld. Picture her with contacts instead of glasses, perfect blonde updo, elbow-length gloves, a huge ballgown, and glass slippers and you might get an idea of the job Amanda held in between high school graduation and the start of her college career.
Ask Amanda and she'll tell you it was an adventure of a lifetime to work for a year at DisneyWorld and to be every little girl's (and every teenage guy's) dream. But the desire to move on with life led Amanda to several colleges and career interests before finding McMurry and the Biomedical Science program. Yes, Amanda is still waiting for her prince to come, but she's not wasting her time doing so! The guys in BIMS are awfully glad she's made that choice!
Amanda transferred to McMurry for the Fall 2008 semester, bringing hours from at least two other colleges. Her wanderlust satisfied, she decided to return to home and family to complete her college education. Now she is "home" in a major that excites her every bit as much as the glamour of being a featured Disney character. She spends lots of time in the molecular lab, helping Dr. D, building skills that will serve her well as she pursues new dreams – working in the biotech industry and one day teaching molecular biology herself.

Many exciting events happened at Cleveland Days Saturday, July 20. Throughout these events Jamie Jensen the Cleveland City Secretary was seen almost everywhere making sure things were in order and working well.
Saturday morning started with a 5 K Color Run. The Color Run is to make people aware of the problems caused by alcoholism. Each runner as he or she crossed the finish line had colored chalk dust thrown on him or her. Later at the Cleveland breakfast it was easy to see who had participated in the Color Run.
Ben and Amanda Baldonado of Price with three of their six children participated in the Alcohol Awareness Color Run.
Participants in the 5 K Color Run Ted and Kelly Luke of Orangeville were seen eating the great Cleveland breakfast.
On the street by the Cleveland Park were Mike and Jen Clark's Inferno Pizza Trailer. This was a firebrick oven for making pizza. The oven was heated with wood logs.
Brady Powell son of Gardner Powell of Cleveland and his new Blue Ford Mustang V8 parked in front of the Cleveland Park.
The Ryan Powell family all climbed upon a four-wheeler at the park for a photo.
The children's parade started with a rush of boys and girls on bicycles racing down the street. Next came mothers and fathers guiding their little ones as they paraded down the street. The expressions on the faces of some of the children were interesting.
The Mayor's Cleveland Parade started with the National Guard carrying the national and state colors followed by a World War II motorcycle with a sidecar and a machine gun.
Next came Jasper the little old Cleveland Fire Truck driven by Owen Olsen carrying the flags and a load of children. Owen Olson's fire truck was followed by the four Cleveland Fire Trucks.
The Emery High School Band marched down Main Street resplendent in their yellow and black uniforms playing marching music for the large crowed lining the street.
Cleveland's Royalty was displayed on a beautiful float with red, white, blue and silver trim.
The Miss Emery Royalty float held the Miss Emery royalty.
The Heritage Days float of purple and white with 10 neatly dressed young women was outstanding.
The United Mine Workers put in an impressive appearance with many members dressed in light green T-shirt swalked in the parade. They wanted protection for their health care, pensions, mine safety and jobs.
Cleveland's honored citizens were Shen, Verla and Gus Jensen.
During the parade three airplanes from the Huntington Airport flew over the length of Main Street.
Near the end of the parade the Emery High School Cheerleaders performed.
The children along the street were anxious to pick up any candy thrown out to the crowd from the floats.
After the parade other events took place in Cleveland's City Park.
One of those events was getting an aerial photo by one airplane of a crowd of people lined up in a large circle in the park. Then two other airplanes flew over the park and dropped ping-pong balls. Those recovering a ping-pong ball were able to turn it in for a free ice cream cone.
Sherrel Ward was in charge of the circle for the photo and the games and races in the park. One of those exciting races was that of toddlers being pulled in a laundry basket by a mother or grandmother.
After lunch there was coed softball, horseshoes, and Concessions by Cindi Avery L'il Country Store in the School Yard.
In the evening there was free music for dancing furnished by Mohr sound and at dusk Cleveland presented their outstanding fireworks display.

My chaplain's office sits off a well-trafficked hallway inside the VA hospital in Sacramento. A large "Chaplain Service" sign hanging outside the door guides impromptu visitors into the suite.
My chaplain's office sits off a well-trafficked hallway inside the VA hospital in Sacramento. A large "Chaplain Service" sign hanging outside the door guides impromptu visitors into the suite.
Last week, a pastor entered to introduce himself as the spirit-filled "Brother So-and-So." If you are unfamiliar with the adjective "Spirit-filled," it means to embody the spirit of Christ. Or, loosely translated, it's the charismatic next step after "born-again."
Let me pause a moment to say, I have lots of wonderful charismatic friends. And most of them will tell you that if you are indeed filled with the Spirit, there is no need to self-identify as such. If true, it will be obvious.
Suffice it to say, I was quickly wishing that Mr. Brother Pastor had kept walking the hall. But instead, the tall, broad and aging pastor sat down and proceeded to recite his resume.
He talked about the prison ministry he ran and he fed me the details of his meals to the homeless. He buzzed about the radio preaching he did in Fresno and the television ministry he ran in Bakersfield.
In between each story, he paused to wait for my "amen," but alas, I offered only a polite nod. He talked so long and so fast, I was having trouble hearing the Spirit.
He then shifted the conversation into the many years he served as a pastor and the hospital visitations he did. He confessed that he pitied me because "we both know that government chaplains can't talk about God as freely as a pastor."
And somewhere in the midst of his pontification, he told me that he was praying that God would make him "teachable." If he noticed the smirk that word "teachable" brought to my face, he didn't say.
Instead, he abruptly assumed a crouching position and told me he was going to pray for me. That's when I decided that I'd answer his prayer and offer him a teachable moment.
"Wait just a minute," I said. "How do you know what to pray for?"
"Huh?" he asked.
I asked this because people sometimes offer their prayers, not as a gift, but as a way to establish their power over the pray-ee. My guess was that Pastor Pray4U was going to thank God that I was blessed by his visit today.
I continued. "Well, you mentioned a few minutes ago that you were praying God would make you teachable, so let me share something with you."
He gave me a glassy stare, as clueless as a calf frozen before a new gate.
"When I visit a patient, I always ask them how I can pray for them. I ask them what they want me to pray for. Wouldn't you like to know what you can pray for me?"
With that, God answered his prayer to become teachable and he leaned back in his chair, and spread his hands open on his lap.
"You're right," he said. "What should I pray?"
I asked that he pray for our incoming chaplain supervisor and our new chapel. He agreed with a humble nod. Then I asked him to pray that God would comfort the families of the two hospital employees who'd unexpectedly died the previous week.
He shook his head, still unsure what to say.
He did pray, just not the prayer I'd expected. His prayer was a humble and contrite one asking God for the things we agreed upon. Finally, after he'd said the "amen," he raised his head and I read a "spirit filled" look that indeed told me he just might be teachable.

Great, But Weird Smell.This shampoo made my coarse, curly hair really smooth and shiny. I loved using it until I had to straighten my hair. For some reason, this shampoo and its matching conditioner left my hair with this strange smell. When I straightened it, it made my hair smell really, really bad. I know straightened hair kind of smells weird to begin with, and I even adjusted the settings on my hair straightener thinking maybe it was just too hot. I finally switched to a different shampoo, and my hair no longer smelled so terrible after straightening. I really did enjoy this product, but I just couldn't deal with the smell.

"I have been using Milorganite for over 40 years now when planting new shrubs and trees to insure proper root development. It provides a constant feed to the development root system, it will not burn the roots and it will last well into the first season of growth. Milorganite is also wonderful when planting Fall bulbs as it will not encourage animals to dig them up like Bone Meal products and also a great fertilizer to wake up your perennial garden when used in the early spring. Organic, slow release and I have found that when used around young plants it will keep animals from feeding on them, a good animal repellent."

Government Orders

South Shore—St. Margaret's
Nova Scotia
Gerald Keddy Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade
Madam Speaker, I appreciate my hon. colleague's input at the Standing Committee on International Trade. I disagree with his position on Panama, but I have a question on which we may be in agreement.
The issue is fairly simple. Canada and Panama are already trading substantially, hundreds of thousands of dollars, millions of dollars' worth of trade. How could it hurt to put clear rules around the trade that already exists and reduce tariffs and barriers for Canadian businesses? How could that hurt Canadians?
Motions in Amendment
Canada-Panama Free Trade Act
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Jean-Yves Laforest Saint-Maurice—Champlain, QC
Madam Speaker, in response to my colleague, I would say that we do not need a free trade agreement to define some clear rules. We could very easily start by creating a tax information exchange agreement and then negotiate a double taxation agreement, if necessary. We do not need to sign an agreement first.
The main problem now is that we are doing things backwards. When a country is recognized as a tax haven, we should sign a tax agreement before signing a free trade agreement. But that is not the case here.
Foreign Affairs
Statements by Members
1:55 p.m.
Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Madam Speaker, our government is concerned with the recent wave of executions in Iran. According to the UN High Commissioner of Human Rights, at least 66 people were executed in January 2011. Among those was the Dutch-Iranian, Zahra Bahrami, who was hanged before the legal process against her was completed.
We are particularly concerned about Saeed Malekpour, a prominent resident of Canada, who was condemned to death when the software he created was allegedly deemed to be offensive by the regime. Mr. Malekpour is but one of the many Iranians who face disproportionately harsh punishment for dubious offences.
This government will continue to hold Iran accountable for meeting its international and domestic human rights obligations, including fair treatment and due process to all those in its prisons and before its courts.
Entrepreneurs in the Kedgwick Area
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Jean-Claude D'Amours Madawaska—Restigouche, NB
Madam Speaker, on Saturday, January 29, I had the pleasure of attending the annual entrepreneur appreciation night organized by the Kedgwick Regional Chamber of Commerce.
The annual banquet is an opportunity to pay tribute to the region's entrepreneurial community. This year, the Kedgwick Regional Chamber of Commerce highlighted the work of four individuals. The honourees for 2010 were: business of the year—Michel Damphousse, Pharmacie Kedgwick; female entrepreneur—Rina Couturier, Cantine Yum Yum; volunteer of the year—Donald Gagnon; young volunteer—Kerry-Lyne Savoie.
I would like to take a moment to recognize the time and effort they have put into their own success and that of the community. Their leadership and drive make them remarkable people.
Once again, I offer my congratulations and say to them, the people of Madawaska—Restigouche are very proud of you.
Gaëtane Verna
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Pierre Paquette Joliette, QC
Madam Speaker, La Presse recently focused on 15 people who are shaping Quebec's artistic landscape.
I am particularly proud to say that Gaëtane Verna, director and chief curator of Joliette's art museum, is included on that list. The article lists the many successes of this dynamic woman, including the publication of a guide to the museum's collection and her commitment to renovating the museum.
The day after this article was published, Ms. Verna used the opening of the first exhibit of 2011 to acknowledge the work of her team, without whom, she says, she never would have made it on the list.
Ms. Verna, who has headed this Lanaudière institution for five years, stated that an institution such as the one she runs would be nothing without the volunteers, the artists, the board of directors, the partners and, of course, the public.
My Bloc Québécois colleagues and I want to congratulate Ms. Verna and show our admiration for the high-calibre contribution she brings to the cultural life of Quebec.
The Internet
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Olivia Chow Trinity—Spadina, ON
Madam Speaker, happy New Year of the Rabbit. I wish everyone good health and prosperity.
[Member spoke in Chinese]
During special occasions, family members who cannot be with each other rely on the Internet to connect, to be united. Whether it is through conversations on iChat or Skype, emailing pictures or messages and greetings, having Internet access helps keep families together.
Canadians want an Internet service that is fast and affordable. Instead of standing on the side of the major telecom companies that do nothing while Internet users get gouged everywhere they turn, we need a government to be on our side, a government that will say no to the cap imposed by the telecom giants on Internet services.
Canadians want choice, low prices and fair competition. I ask people to join our fight at OpenMedia.ca. Let us end all usage-based billing. Let us have an Internet service that puts consumers first.
The Budget
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Leon Benoit Vegreville—Wainwright, AB
Madam Speaker, I sincerely want to thank constituents who attended my prebudget town hall meetings in January, including several mayors, reeves and municipal councillors. Their input into the budget process is both helpful and important.
Generally they were happy with the way the Prime Minister and our government have managed the economy. Most agree that our five-year deficit elimination plan is appropriate. They strongly support our justice agenda and are angry with the opposition parties for slowing progress in this regard. The overall message was clear: carry on as planned.
I sincerely want to thank all who attended. I want to let them know that I heard their message and that their message and the information they gave to me will in fact get to the finance minister to be considered in the prebudget process.
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Shawn Murphy Charlottetown, PE
Mr. Speaker, the irresponsible Conservative corporate tax cuts are compromising our country's ability to respond to the needs of families, seniors, Canadians living in poverty and post-secondary students, among others. These tax cuts are being financed with borrowed money and, as a result, will have to be paid for by our children.
We have seen the government develop a society where the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. This erodes our nation's fabric and, as a result, threatens the very principles for which Canada stands.
Over the years, successive Liberal and Progressive Conservative governments have developed and enhanced medicare, the Canada pension plan, employment insurance, the child tax credit and many other programs, which are as much a part of Canada as the maple leaf. With these corporate tax cuts, these programs are under attack.
I call upon the government to stop the corporate tax cuts, stop the insanity, stop favouring the rich and to start showing some concern and some compassion for ordinary Canadians.
World Cancer Day
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
James Bezan Selkirk—Interlake, MB
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is World Cancer Day.
Last year over 170,000 Canadians were diagnosed with cancer. Last year I tabled a private member's bill to combat one of the most common types of cancer, and that is skin cancer. My bill calls for stronger labelling of tanning beds, drawing a link between tanning and skin cancer and warning our youth to avoid tanning machines.
The World Health Organization says that regular tanning results in a 75% increased risk of skin cancer if tanning begins before the age of 30.
My bill has received support from the Canadian Medical Association, the Canadian Dermatology Association and the Canadian Cancer Society, among others.
I applaud Canadian jurisdictions like New Brunswick and Victoria, B.C., for taking strong action to ban youth under 18 from using tanning beds.
As we recognize World Cancer Day tomorrow, we need to remember our friends and family who have battled against all forms of cancer.
I encourage all members to support my bill and to continue to advocate for cancer awareness and education to achieve a healthier future for all Canadians.
Patro Laval and Centre Durocher
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Christiane Gagnon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise here today to commend the excellent work of two organizations in my riding. In 2010, they both celebrated important anniversaries.
Patro Laval celebrated 100 years of community involvement. Unconditional acceptance, mutual assistance and a sense of family are just some of the values one can expect from this Quebec City organization, where recreational activities are the focus.
Also, Centre Durocher celebrated its 60th anniversary and can be proud of having had such deeps roots in the community for so many years. Through recreational activities, community action and public education, the centre allows residents of Quebec City's lower town to improve their living conditions.
Patro Laval and Centre Durocher are both active community centres where authenticity and openness to youth and family prevail. I would like to congratulate them on their longevity and thank their staff and volunteers for serving the people of Quebec City with such dedication and passion.
Super Bowl
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Bev Shipley Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge a young man from Lambton—Kent—Middlesex who will be playing in the Super Bowl this Sunday. In fact, he is the only Canadian in the Super Bowl.
Shaun Suisham from Wallaceburg is the kicker for the AFC Champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Shaun attended Wallaceburg District Secondary School where he starred as a member of the Wallaceburg Tartans. He went on to Bowling Green University from where he launched his NFL career.
Shaun is a fine young man who gives his time and resources back to his community, returning to Wallaceburg each year to conduct football clinics for young people in the community.
Please join me in wishing Shaun every success this Super Bowl Sunday.
National Suicide Prevention Week
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Justin Trudeau Papineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I want to talk about National Suicide Prevention Week. Of the 4,000 suicides committed in Canada each year, 90% involve a person with mental illness. Quebec has the highest suicide rate in the country.
Suicides can affect all generations, but our most vulnerable are our youth. We need to remember that mental health problems usually associated with adults, such as depression, also affect young people.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people, after car accidents. We are still far too reluctant to talk about it, partly because of the sense of guilt and shame that is too often associated with suicide.
We need to break our silence about suicide, but we need to do a whole lot more.
The Canadian Psychiatric Association is calling on the federal government to implement a comprehensive national mental health strategy that will ensure Canadians of all ages are supported in their journey towards recovery and well-being.
Let us work together on a mental health strategy and put an end to suicide.
Wiarton Willy Festival
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Larry Miller Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, ON
Mr. Speaker, grab your swimsuit, grab your suntan lotion and get ready to go to the beach. Spring is coming early.
Yesterday I joined hundreds of people in the town of Wiarton, gathering around to see if Wiarton Willy would see his shadow. On Groundhog Day, the crowd waited with bated breath as Wiarton Willy, braving a fierce winter storm, came out of his den. Ultimately, he did not see his shadow, meaning spring is just around the corner.
Even Wiarton Willy's wannabe come lately cousins, Shubenacadie Sam and Punxsutawney Phil, waited for Willy's prediction before copycatting with their own predictions.
Now in its 55th year, the Wiarton Willy Festival attracts visitors from every corner of the globe, making it Bruce county's largest winter festival.
This tells us only one thing. Wiarton Willy, the only albino weather predictor in the world, is clearly the undisputed champion of weather forecasting. Not only is he Canada's most famous groundhog, but the most famous in the world.
Long hail Wiarton Willy. Spring is on its way.
Health Care
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Linda Duncan Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, Canada's universal public health care system is lauded worldwide. Sadly, universality of care is increasingly at risk, in part due to rising costs, including prescription drugs.
Worst affected are Canadians who are reliant on costly medicines, but can least afford them, seniors and others with low or fixed incomes. In Edmonton, almost 60% of those with low incomes are struggling to pay for necessary medicines.
Universal pharmacare would ensure more equitable access by all Canadians to affordable medicines and quality of life. The federal negotiating position for the next Canada health transfer agreement must include universal pharmacare.
Tommy Douglas, the father of medicare, did not intend to limit it to hospitals and doctors. Coverage of drugs and other services was to follow. Despite repeated proposals and pledges, Canada remains one of the few industrialized countries without a national drug plan.
I challenge every MP to stand with me and the friends of medicare and demand universal coverage for their constituents.
Lunar New Year
Statements by Members
February 3rd, 2011 / 2:10 p.m.
Alice Wong Richmond, BC
Mr. Speaker, it is a great pleasure and honour to celebrate the Lunar New Year with my fellow parliamentarians and Canadians of Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese descent.
It is also my honour, on behalf of the Government of Canada, to extend my best wishes as we celebrate the new year. The Year of the Rabbit is said to be a time of tranquility. I hope this is the case for all Canadians.
Over the last year, the relationship between Canada, Korea and Vietnam has grown stronger. For example, Canada's pavilion at the Shanghai Expo was an unqualified success. The approved destination status agreement has made it easier for Chinese nationals to visit Canada.
Of course, strong ties are a natural result of our great country having more than one million Canadians of Chinese, Vietnamese or Korean descent, making an important contribution to our national life all year long.
I wish all Canadians, particularly those celebrating the new year today, luck, happiness, health and good fortune in the Year of the Rabbit and beyond.
Gung Hay Fat Choy.
