Recovery Act, Helping Put Food on The Table, Creating Jobs and Improving Access to Medical Care
Deputy Agriculture Secretary Kathleen Merrigan visited the Utah Food Bank in Salt Lake City today, where she took a tour of the facility and helped assemble meal packets with USDA foods. Merrigan highlighted the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), and the ARRA funding that Utah Food Bank received in 2009 and 2010.
The Recovery Act supported the nation's food banks, food pantries and soup kitchens, by increasing funding to USDA's Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP).
TEFAP helps supplement the diets of low-income Americans by providing them with emergency food and nutrition assistance at no cost. USDA makes food available to State governments, which distributes it to their emergency feeding network and their affiliates, like Utah Food Bank.
Later in the day, Merrigan toured the construction site of a community health center in Logan, that will be an integral part of the health care network in Utah's Cache Valley. When it opens this summer, the Cache Valley Community Health Center will offer primary and urgent medical care, behavioral health services, dental care and a pharmacy.
The financing for this project was made available by Recovery Act funds through USDA's Rural Development Community Facility (CF) program in the amount of a $2,100,000 loan.
Written by Orrin Evans, USDA Office of Communications
More information about USDA's Recovery Act efforts is available at http://www.usda.gov/recovery. Log on to USDA's YouTube channel to view additional ARRA project highlights, videos are available at http://www.youtube.com/usda – g/c/2A468F5AC6EBCED7

The shoe is loose on the leg, which I can work with, but the fabric is sooo tight across the foot I can't stand it. I love the design, so I will try and fix the situation, if not I will have to return them. First order I was disappointed in."

"I waited over a year to order this shoe and I finally did it, got a great price!! When I got the shoes I was so excited I tried them on immediately...what a huge disappointment!! There is no way to tighten the straps...which means there is no ankle support. The back of the shoe on goes as far as below your ankle with the structure so not being able to tighten to the straps would have helped to stablize the shoe. Finally, you will have to order at least 1/2 to whole size down from your normal size otherwise the shoe is like a flip flop. Finally, the black strap across the front is for decoration, the fabric is actually tight across the top of the foot to keep you in the shoe. Hope this helps someone."

Samsung accuses the latest Apple product of violating two cellular and six utility (mobile OS) patents.

Samsung claims Apple's new sixth-generation iPhone infringes on all of these patents.
II. Adding to the Existing Dispute Doesn't Necessarily Mean a Loss for Samsung
The phonemaker wants to inject its new iPhone 5 accusations into its partially-complete current case, replacing a placeholder in the original filing referring to future products. Samsung claims, "judicial resources will be preserved" by this approach. The decision would also benefit Samsung by allowing it to potentially achieve a rapid ban on the iPhone 5 if
Judge Paul S. Grewal
or other judges in the case decide in Samsung's favor.
Recall that in its
previous legal loss
to Apple in the same court, a jury ruled that Apple's previous iPhones did not infringe on any of these Samsung patents, while finding Samsung to infringe on virtually every Apple patent asserted.
However, substantial questions regarding that ruling have been raised on several grounds -- notably that at least one juror had family members who were large Apple shareholders, that the jury was given a massive amount of arguments to consider in a narrow time window, and that some jury instructions appeared to have been biased towards Apple.
In that regard, Samsung's Aug. 24 loss before the jury may not necessary mirror the outcome in this second phase.
Samsung hopes for a better result in rount two of its Californian federal court dispute with Apple.

Apple recently sought to
triple the damages against Samsung
to $3B USD on the grounds that jurors found Samsung's infringement to be willful. Apple is also pushing the court to
ban most of Samsung's Android smartphones
from sale in the U.S.

3:05 p.m.
Élaine Michaud Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, QC
Mr. Speaker, I apologize. I will ask my question again. The Minister of Transport is unable to provide a clear answer on the future of the Portneuf wharf. At first, he referred the municipality to the port divestiture program. Now the minister is telling us all the funding in the program has been allocated. Clearly, he has no idea any more what strategy to use to get rid of the wharf, which is essential to tourism and business in the region.
Will he finally be straight with people? What does the minister think the future has in store for the Portneuf wharf?
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Denis Lebel Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, the problem is not that I am not providing an answer. The problem is that she is not hearing the answer she would like to hear. There is a difference.
The port divestiture program ends on March 31. There have been negotiations between the municipality of Portneuf and people from our department. Unfortunately, they were unable to reach an agreement. The program is ending and we will see what happens in the future.
Despite these negotiations, for now, no decision has been made. If that is what the town wanted, then it had more than enough time. Unfortunately, the problem was not resolved that way for them.

Oral Questions

André Bellavance Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Mr. Speaker, in the robocall scandal, the Conservatives' denials are losing traction as the facts emerge. Their only line of defence is to ask the opposition to provide the proof. Voters want to know who is behind this attack on democracy and how it happened. Only an independent public inquiry can reveal to voters the details of what the former chief electoral officer, Jean-Pierre Kingsley, has called an attack on the very essence of the electoral process.
What is the Prime Minister waiting for to launch a true, independent public inquiry, and why not put Jean-Pierre Kingsley in charge, but definitely not Pierre Poutine?

Mr. Speaker, Canadians voted in great numbers in the latest election. In fact, national voter turnout was up by 900,000. Canadians obviously knew where to vote. Unfortunately for the Bloc Québécois, it was overwhelmingly rejected by Quebec voters. The Bloc can now try to explain its monumental defeat by making false allegations, but no one will believe it.

Alleged Interference of Minister's Ability to Discharge Responsibilities
Oral Questions
February 29th, 2012 / 3:05 p.m.
Marc Garneau Westmount—Ville-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in response to the question of privilege raised on Monday, February 27, by the Minister of Public Safety and also to the consequent intervention by the parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.
In reviewing their remarks, I have concluded that their argument is really composed of three distinct complaints and my remarks will deal with them as such.
I would like to say at the outset that I understand the minister's embarrassment at having the details of his personal life brought into the realm of public discussion.
The introduction of Bill C-30 caused quite a ripple across the country. Millions of Canadians voiced their discontent and expressed their opposition to this legislation. The fact we are here today debating this issue is a testament to that.
The first part of the minister's complaint deals with the issue of the Twitter account Vikileaks. Mr. Speaker, as you will no doubt recall, my leader addressed the involvement of a Liberal staff member earlier this week and offered an unreserved apology on this point. That being said, we would have hoped that the minister would accept this apology regarding Vikileaks and consider the matter closed. However, if he insists on dragging out the matter, I would like to mention a few things.
First, he purports that House of Commons resources were used to create the account. I should remind the minister that this is not a matter of privilege, but a matter reserved for the Board of Internal Economy. An excerpt from the Parliament of Canada Act dealing with exclusive authority, in subsection 52.6(1), explains the following:
The Board has the exclusive authority to determine whether any previous, current or proposed use by a member of the House of Commons of any funds, goods, services or premises made available to that member for the carrying out of parliamentary functions is or was proper, given the discharge of the parliamentary functions of members of the House of Commons, including whether any such use is or was proper having regard to the intent and purpose of the by-laws made under subsection 52.5(1).
The effect of this section in the act is clear. The matter of the use of House resources is the sole and exclusive domain of the Board of Internal Economy. If the minister still thinks there was a cost incurred by the creation of the Twitter site, I recommend that he take it up with the board. I have no doubt, Mr. Speaker, that you and the entire board will deal with this issue in the appropriate manner.
If the minister still thinks his reputation was affected as a result of the release of this publicly available document and that this in itself represents a breach of privilege, I would refer him, and indeed all members, to page 111 of O'Brien and Bosc where Speaker Fraser's 1987 ruling states:
The privileges of a Member are violated by any action which might impede him or her in the fulfilment of his or her duties and functions. It is obvious that the unjust damaging of a reputation could constitute such an impediment. The normal course of a Member who felt himself or herself to be defamed would be the same as that available to any other citizen, recourse to the courts under the laws of defamation with the possibility of damages to substitute for the harm that might be done. However, should the alleged defamation take place on the floor of the House, this recourse in not available.
In this ruling, Speaker Fraser wisely reminds members that where there is a normal avenue of recourse, the courts in the case of defamation, this normal avenue should be pursued. Given the resignation of the person involved and the clear apology by the member for Toronto Centre, we consider this matter closed.
The second complaint dealt with the threats from the international group that calls itself "Anonymous". This was the main argument put forth by the minister and expanded on at length in the parliamentary secretary's speech. I think it is appropriate to note right off the start that, yes, indeed, there clearly are threats being made. However, before your finding a prima facie breach of privilege I think it bears careful consideration here that we fully understand what we are dealing with.
First, who is this group called Anonymous? Put simply, it is an international cabal of criminal hackers dating back to 2003, who have shut down the websites of the U.S. Department of Justice and the F.B.I. They have hacked into the phone lines of Scotland Yard. They are responsible for attacks against MasterCard, Visa, Sony and the Governments of the U.S., U.K., Turkey, Australia, Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Iran, Chile, Colombia and New Zealand.
This is not at all in the same league as Vikileaks. We are not dealing with the actions of a sole staff member from another party. This is an international criminal organization.
I am forced to ask what would be accomplished by sending this matter to the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. Beauchesne's fifth edition notes the problem of dealing with these matters on page 23, where it states:
Direct threats which attempt to influence Members' actions in the House are undoubtedly breaches of privilege. They do, however, provide serious problems for the House. They are often made anonymously and it is rarely possible for the House to examine them satisfactorily. The common practice today is to turn the responsibility for investigating them over to the ordinary forces of the law.
By that Beauchesne's clearly means that these threats would be dealt with by the police and the courts.
This brings us to another point. Sadly, in this day and age, threats against ministers and indeed the Prime Minister occur all too often. One only has to step outside and see the Prime Minister's security motorcade to understand that the RCMP believes there are credible threats made regularly against the Prime Minister. I do not believe that the Prime Minister simply enjoys being escorted by multiple vehicles while sitting behind four inches of bullet-proof glass.
Presumably these threats are made by people who feel wronged by the government in some way. These are not threats by neighbours or angry people who were cut off in traffic by the Prime Minister. In other words, this is not some personal grudge but one related to his role as the Prime Minister of Canada.
Yet these threats have not been brought to this House to be handled as breaches of privilege. These threats are dealt with, as they should be, by the police, the RCMP and presumably by CSIS where needed.
As pointed out earlier in Beauchesne's, it would not be appropriate to bring these issues here to the House since little could be accomplished by studying these threats in committee. In fact the mere suggestion sounds rather silly. These are threats made by criminals and should be handled by the police, plain and simple.
The second reason these are not dealt with in the House is that they are, in essence, threats made against the Government of Canada, not the member for Calgary Southwest. His role as the local MP is of little relevance to those who make those threats. It is his role as Prime Minister that sadly makes him a target.
Similarly in the case of the threats by Anonymous to the Minister of Public Safety, these threats are directed at the minister in his role as Minister of Public Safety, not as the member for Parliament for Provencher.
In essence, these are threats against the Government of Canada made by criminals. Joseph P. Maingot's Parliamentary Privilege in Canada, is instructive on this point. On page 191 he states:
—parliamentary privilege is concerned with the special rights of members, not in their capacity as ministers or as party leaders, whips, or parliamentary secretaries, but strictly in their capacity as Members in their parliamentary work.
Anonymous has threatened to release information about the minister if he does not withdraw Bill C-30 and step down as minister. This is clearly a threat, but they are not asking the member for Provencher to vote against a bill, speak against it or take some other action as a member of the House, or even for the member for Provencher to step down as an MP. They are asking the minister to withdraw a bill from Parliament, the House and the Senate, and to step down as a minister of the crown.
Again, these are clearly threats made by criminals, yet they are threats against the Government of Canada, and as such should not be dealt with as matters of privilege but instead be investigated by the RCMP to ensure that these criminals are brought to justice. It is not an appropriate role for the House to supplant the normal criminal justice system, and I would caution that a finding of prima facie breach of privilege may do just that.
Finally, to the third and final complaint, which dealt with the issue of being inundated by phone calls and such, thus preventing him from performing his duties, I would like to quote from Speaker Sauvé's ruling given on July 15, 1980, cited on page 117 of O'Brien and Bosc. It states:
While I am only too aware of the multiple responsibilities, duties, and also the work the member has to do relating to his constituency, as Speaker I am required to consider only those matters which affect the member's parliamentary work. That is to say, whatever duty a member has to his constituents, before a valid question of privilege arises in respect of any alleged interference, such interference must relate to the member's parliamentary duties. In other words, just as a member is protected from anything he does while taking part in a proceeding in Parliament, so too must interference relate to the member's role in the context of parliamentary work.
Indeed, it was for this very reason that we have not raised a question of privilege regarding the efforts of the New Democratic Party to systematically attempt to clog the phone lines of the member for Saint-Maurice—Champlain. I say "systematically" because they are using a system of robocalls to call constituents in the member's riding and telling them to simply press a number on the phone to be connected immediately to the constituency office, thereby flooding it. These types of underhanded, dirty tricks by the NDP are unfortunate and certainly no way to do politics and are motivated by either a sense of revenge against the member or perhaps a dire warning against their own caucus members. In any event, while they may clog the phone lines of the constituency office for a time, they do not constitute a breach of privilege, which is why we did not raise it.
Mr. Speaker, in your ruling pertaining to the question of privilege raised by the member for Mount Royal on November 16, 2011, you stated:
There is no doubt that he has been bombarded by telephone calls, emails and faxes from concerned and confused constituents. However, the Chair has great difficulty in concluding that the member has been unable to carry out his parliamentary duties as a result of these tactics.
In his May 5, 1987 ruling Speaker Fraser stated:
Given all the circumstances in this case, I am sure that the Minister's capacity to function as a Minister and Member of this House is in no way impaired.
In conclusion, the only one of the three complaints that even approaches a breach of privilege is the matter dealing with the group Anonymous. While that instance clearly does involve threats and intimidation, these are made against the minister in his role as a minister, not as a member. As such, they do not constitute a breach of privilege. While they are a matter of concern for all members of the House, they remain threats made by criminals to a minister of the Crown, and as such are better handled by the RCMP and other appropriate authorities.

7 Simple Ways to Beat the Post #NYFW Crash
Makeup artist Francois Nars only did one show at New York Fashion Week—so naturally, he made it count, giving models edgy and unforgettable cat eyes in a rich teal shade (NARS Eyeliner Pencil in Kalisté, to be exact.) "This is a summer look that's all about the eye," he said. "Most of the girls have a teal blue line, but some have royal blue, extending past both the inner and outer corner." Redken hairstylist Guido Palau followed suit, tricking models out in punky wigs with jagged, irregular cuts.
At first glance, the makeup at Calvin Klein may seem simple and fresh-faced. But take a closer look: models' lids were dusted with a sheer swipe of bronze shadow, giving their faces a sculptural, ethereal glow.

Baldoon Bicentennial
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Rose-Marie Ur Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, ON
Mr. Speaker, Wallaceburg is one of the largest communities in my riding. The evolution of Wallaceburg is a Canadian success story.
The community traces its beginnings to the landing of 101 Scottish on the banks of the Chenal Ecarte in southwestern Ontario 200 years ago. The settlement was founded by the fifth Earl of Selkirk.
Baldoon's Bicentennial has many events planned and is an opportunity to tell the whole story of Wallaceburg. It is a community of over 10,000 people in some of the most fertile farmland in Canada. It has been known for its inland port, its glass making, and its tool and dye industry.
In early September events include a highland games and the re-enactment of the Selkirk settlers' landing celebrating the Scottish and frontier roots.
Selkirk's belief in the strength of people who agreed to establish Baldoon was well-founded. For 200 consecutive years, quiet heroes worked to build a better future. The years have not been without struggle but Baldoon survives as Wallaceburg thrives.
I extend a warm welcome to everyone to come and participate and see what the generations of Wallaceburg residents have built and enjoy.

Canadian Alliance
Garry Breitkreuz Yorkton—Melville, SK
Mr. Speaker, have you heard the latest emanation from Ottawa? The government is launching a $50,000 study to find out how much methane is coming out of both ends of Canada's cows. This is not a joke.
This supposedly is to help the Liberals meet their promised greenhouse gas quota in their useless Kyoto accord.
What are they going to do, tell farmers to get rid of their cows if they burp and pass gas too much? Like the Liberal government has not done enough to harm the cattle industry by mismanaging the BSE crisis.
Before the Liberals waste another fifty grand, maybe they should do a study of Ottawa's gaseous output, especially the amount of hot gas coming off the Liberal's front bench when they criss-cross the country spending billions of taxpayer money making announcement after announcement, while at the same insisting they are not campaigning. Now that is a lot of hot air.

Mr. Speaker, I am proud to inform this House that, on April 25, Claude Poulin, a retired teacher from Abitibi-Témiscamingue, was awarded the 2004 Beppo prize, at Montréal's Biodôme. This prize honours the exceptional work of an assistant of Professor Scientifix of the Club des débrouillards.
I would like to take this opportunity to draw attention to the remarkable work of Mr. Poulin. He has been with the Club des débrouillards as a volunteer for many years, in addition to being one of the creators of the science fair, an activity in which he is deeply involved.
Congratulations to Mr. Poulin.
National Mental Health Week
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Anita Neville Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, this week is National Mental Health Week. I want to take this opportunity to raise awareness about an illness from which none of us are immune and which has devastating effects on the person with the illness, their family and society. The illness is schizophrenia.
One in every 100 Canadians will be diagnosed with some form of schizophrenia in their lifetime. Schizophrenia is a biochemical brain disorder which usually strikes in adolescence. Persons with schizophrenia tend to lose contact with reality and deteriorate in their ability to function.
However there is hope. Schizophrenia can be very effectively managed with early intervention and appropriate supports.
Today it is with great sadness that I offer, on my own behalf and on behalf of my colleague, the member of Parliament for Winnipeg South, our deepest sympathies to the family of Arun Sud. Arun Sud, who had schizophrenia, went missing in Winnipeg a month ago and today his body was found.
I encourage my colleagues to join me in helping to raise awareness across the country in order to help prevent this sort of tragedy from occurring again.

Today, I have invited Fadi, who is accompanied by his parents and his brother, to meet with members of Parliament.
Fadi, a Canadian of Lebanese-Syrian origin, was kidnapped while working in Iraq with the International Rescue Committee. At the time he was helping Iraqi children. He was held for 10 days, tortured and interrogated by his captors.
I want to assure Fadi and all Canadians that our government will continue to do everything possible to secure the release of other Canadians held captive in Iraq.
On behalf of all the residents of Laval and of all the Canadians who prayed for his safe return to Canada, we welcome Fadi home.

Mr. Speaker, Newfoundland and Labrador's minister in the cabinet says that he cannot obtain changes in the equalization program that would allow the province to keep its offshore oil revenues.
However, the minister indicates that he can help the province in project specific ways. Given that the federal government is selling its shares in Petro-Canada, now is the time for the minister to make good on his commitment to have the 8.5% federal share in Hibernia dealt with and turned over to the province.
The Atlantic accord promises to make Newfoundland and Labrador the primary beneficiary of its offshore oil revenues. This has not happened, and I look forward to hearing how the minister intends to achieve that goal.
In the meantime, dealing with the 8.5% share of Hibernia would be a good start. We are still waiting for Newfoundland and Labrador's minister to deliver on his promises. He must deliver before, not after, the federal election.

Paddy Torsney Burlington, ON
Mr. Speaker, gun control is central to this government's strategy to protect all Canadians, especially women and children, from violent crime. This investment in public safety is supported by more than three-quarters of Canadians, and with good reason.
Since 1998 over 9,000 firearm permits have been revoked or refused from potentially dangerous individuals. Police and law enforcement officials are using the firearms registry an average of 2,000 times a day.
The public hotline, created for spouses of applicants or others who may have concerns about their safety, received over 26,000 calls between December 1998 and October 2001.
Firearms deaths in Canada are at their lowest rate in 30 years, and rates of murder with rifles and shotguns have dropped more than 60% since 1991.
Our gun control laws are among the toughest in the western world. I am proud that this Liberal government is committed to continuing to protect Canadian women and children.

Réal Ménard Hochelaga—Maisonneuve, QC
Mr. Speaker, after repeated requests from the Bloc Quebecois and FRAPRU, the federal government finally decided to free up the $320 million already announced in its 2003 budget to fund the second phase of the agreement on affordable housing.
However, we were stunned to learn that this money will not be distributed on the basis of those provinces that need it most. Indeed, the Liberal government stubbornly insists on allocating it on a per capita basis, which means that Quebec, which accounts for 27.4% of families living in core need will only get 23.7% of the $320 million, or $75 million.
This shows how the government is talking out of both sides of its mouth. On the one hand, it boasts about being receptive to the needs of the public, but in fact the amount it is offering falls well short of the estimated $90 million Quebec is asking for.
The Environment

Claude Duplain Portneuf, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to report a happy ending in the case of the municipality of Shannon, located in my riding. It is a case which, as the House knows, is very close to my heart, and on which I have worked for three years.
On April 23, the Minister of National Defence granted $19 million to the citizens of Shannon to develop their drinking water system. For many years, the citizens of Shannon have faced a serious public health problem, the presence of TCE in the town's groundwater, which could cause serious, long term problems. Extending the water system will make it possible to hook up more homes that may have been affected by this contamination.
Once again, I would like to congratulate the federal government on its initiative to make the environment and the health of Canadians a high priority. In particular, I tip my hat to the citizens of Shannon, to Mayor Clive Kelly, and to Jean-Marc Beaulieu, who showed courage, perseverance and patience as they moved toward a long-term solution with the government, in order to safeguard the health of all Shannon's citizens.
Health Care

Gurmant Grewal Surrey Central, BC
Mr. Speaker, health services in British Columbia have ground to a halt as more than 40,000 hospital employees have gone on strike. Hospital closures, shortage of doctors, nurses, beds and equipment have resulted in overworked and demoralized staff. Thousands of British Columbians are suffering with operations postponed and appointments cancelled.
Federal cuts are the root cause of this suffering. The Prime Minister wants credit for fixing health care, but he is the one who broke it. As the finance minister, he unilaterally slashed $25 billion in provincial transfers.
Federal spending on health care has gone down from 50% to 16%, with the provinces left holding the bag, while the Liberals run up surpluses and blow money on one boondoggle after another.
Who is to blame when someone dies while waiting to have an operation or to see a doctor? The Liberals have had more than a decade to fix the problems ailing our health care system, but they have only made matters worse.
It is time for Canadians to seek a second opinion. It is time to elect a Conservative government.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to speak about the excellent work being done by the entire team in the organization Enfants d'ici ou d'ailleurs and how pleased I was to sign my name, as Canada's representative, to the friendship treaty between the young people in the Christ-Roi and Gilles-Vigneault schools in Montreal and those in Benin and Cameroon.
The EIA mandate, accomplished through its educational kits, is to promote the cultural, educational and human development of children in La Francophonie. The organization works with children aged 9 to 14 and tries to introduce tomorrow's citizens to democratic values, the advantages of cultural diversity, and the concept of human security.
A non-profit organization, EIA works in collaboration with the departments of political science, communications and education at the Université du Québec à Montréal and the Université de Montréal.
Since it was created, EIA has had an impact on children from Tunisia, Benin, Senegal, Gabon, Côte d'Ivoire and Canada. Congratulations to the whole team.
Day of Mourning
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Dick Proctor Palliser, SK
Mr. Speaker, today is the 20th anniversary to remember workers killed and injured on the job and demand safer workplace practices and stronger legislation. It began in 1984 because the Canadian Labour Congress launched April 28 as a Day of Mourning. In 1991, thanks to Rod Murphy, the NDP MP for Churchill, the day was also recognized by the Canadian Parliament.
Despite this focus, workplace injuries and deaths continue to worsen. Last year, 953 Canadian workers lost their lives, two-thirds of them young people working in dangerous conditions with little or no safety training.
I know first-hand about a father who goes to work and never comes home, and the trauma and grief for the family members left behind.
While we all remember these fatalities and injuries on this day, it is crucial that we work every day to reduce and eliminate deaths and injuries for people whose only mistake was going to work.
Day of Mourning

2:10 p.m.
Monique Guay Laurentides, QC
Mr. Speaker, today the flags are at half-mast to acknowledge the International Day of Mourning for Persons Killed or Injured in the Workplace. According to CSST data, 175 people died in Quebec in 2003, half of them in workplace accidents or from occupational diseases.
Over this same period, the CSST received just over 135,700 claims for compensation for workplace injuries.
Behind all these statistics there are men and women who are suffering. The best way to address this problem is to promote prevention and education as they relate to health and safety in every workplace.
The Bloc Quebecois pays tribute to all those who lost their lives on the job. Our thoughts are with their families and those whose quality of life has been affected. Let us be smarter and step up our efforts to make the workplace safer.
Polish Community

Sarmite Bulte Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate a tragic episode during World War II that is very much alive in the memories of my constituents of Polish origin and the Polish communities throughout Canada: the murder of some 4,000 Polish officers, prisoners of war, in the former Soviet Gulag camps in the Katyn Forest.
Initially, during the Nuremberg trials, the Soviet government blamed the massacre on the Nazis. It took almost 50 years for the Soviets, under Gorbachev, to admit in 1989 that it was the work of the Stalin regime, allied with the Nazis.
With the help of the Canadian government, in 1980 a memorial to the massacred prisoners of war was erected in the heart of my riding. The annual commemoration gathers numerous veterans of Polish origin whose relatives and friends perished in Soviet camps.
The memories of the Katyn massacre serves as a living reminder of the importance of defending human rights wherever they are being violated. For the same reason, memories of Katyn strengthen our resolve to make human rights the cornerstone of our Canadian democracy.

With a lot of criticism hitting the web lately and many voicing their likes and concerns about the features we know of so far, do you plan on buying the game when it launches in April? What features of the game do you like and which ones are you not so sure of? I for one have seen enough and been fortunate to be a part of most of the betas and my decision is: I will ABSO-FREAKIN-LOOTLY be playing it when it launches!!
It's good to be passionate about something.. i hope you are not disappointed, not by the game itself, as it seem you have already seen quite a bit of it, BUT in the reaction of the community as a whole, when they don't embrace it as much as you and other insiders have.
I wonder if it matters whether someone has early access to a game, does it effect their overall opinion of a game and/or the developers. Makes me curious. I have only the benefit of those naughty NDA breakers from last beta weekend and to tell, I was not impressed and apparently , neither were they.
I can wait for a great game, hopefully by May we'll all know for sure on this one.

One has to wonder though for those that voted the game doesn't interest them what are they doing wasting their time reading a thread about it? After all they did just vote they have no interest in the game.
Because these posts/threads show up on the front page and the question is "are you planning on playing...".
They aren't and they give the reason "it doesn't interest them".
It's a fair answer.
As for myself? I need to come to terms a bit with a few things in this game before I decide to "give in".
Gonada Dahung,over 20 years of mmorpg's and counting....Please Lord, let someone make a game that had all the awesomeness of UO, EQ and EVE...
personal policy is to wait at least 12 months and see population stability, endgame videos and do a free trial first.
so will I be playing in April? Maybe, but not this April.

There has been no confirmation on a release date with Wildstar. I realize it seems the betting money is on June time frame. Then again, it doesn't mean its 100% confirmed to be launching at that month.
Reasons I'll be playing.
1. Great top end gaming graphics game with lots of detail.
2. The Lore Master of all elder scrolls games is doing the storyline.
3. An A+ rated company, great customer service.
5. History of the game series and level of quality they had.
6. Adults my age are making the game.
7. Hopes this is the One true mmo to rule them all (without hope there is nothing)
8. It wil give me something to do for 6 months if its horrible, and years if its not. This has a chance to be one of the biggest games, who wouldn't want to atleast play it to end game first?
9. Most games do not get good until the first update. So I like to get to end game and wait until then to judge a game fully.
10. I love MMORPG's. ES is a founder in the RPG world, must have for all RPG fans.
On hiatus from EVE Online since Dec 2016 - Screw off-grid PVE boosting changes
Pouring on extra "Salt" for 2017
In my day MMORPG's were so hard we fought our way through dungeons in the snow, uphill both ways.
Don't just play games, inhabit virtual worlds™
"This is the most intelligent, well qualified and articulate response to a post I have ever seen on these forums. It's a shame most people here won't have the attention span to read past the second line." - Anon
I already pre ordered this Game!
Im looking forward to play with a bunch of my good friends
see all out/in there
Be good, do good
Be the change you want to see in the world.

Blue Bridge Northbound Will Not Open Until 5AM Tuesday
395 North and the northbound lanes of the blue bridge will not open until Tuesday at 5:00 AM, a near 24 hour delay from the previously scheduled time of 5:30 AM Monday.
The lanes have been closed since Thursday night for contractors to replace the expansion joints on that side of the bridge. When they started removing concrete Friday, they discovered the new expansion joints are slightly different than the old system and the work is going to take longer then previously thought.
Department of Transportation engineer Moe Davari tells us he does not expect any such delays next week when contractors begin work on the south side of the bridge heading into Kennewick.

G. Edward White, LAW IN AMERICAN HISTORY: VOLUME ONE, FROM THE COLONIAL YEARS THROUGH THE CIVIL WAR, Chapter 5, Forthcoming
Virginia Public Law and Legal Theory Research Paper No. 2010-45
This is Chapter Five of Law in American History: Volume One, From the Colonial Years Through the Civil War.
The book's purpose is to explore the relationship of law to some central themes of American history from the initial colonial settlements through the conclusion of the Civil War. The themes singled out in the book include the displacement of Amerindian tribes from land they occupied on the North American continent; the emergence of agricultural householding as the principal form of family life in colonial British America; the detachment of the American colonies from the British Empire and the theories of sovereignty and grievance that accompanied that development; the evolution of American forms of government from the Articles of Confederation to the Constitution; the emergence of the Supreme Court of the United States as a major institution of American grievance; the westward movement of enterprise and population in the decades between the 1830's and the 1850's; the central role of slavery and westward expansion and the gradual dissolution of the Union during these decades; and the role of the Civil War as a culmination of the central themes of early American history and as a force in transforming the subsequent course of that history.

By Alice Wadleystaff writer
Festive Friday was held on Jan. 24. It featured guest speaker Dr. Carrie Durward, a USU nutrition specialist. She spoke on the topic of gluten intolerance and celiac disease. Christine Jensen gave the health and wellness tip of the month, drink more water. You need to drink at least eight glasses (64 ounces) of water a day. Some tips for drinking water are; drink two glasses after you get up, one glass before each meal and two glasses before you go to bed.
Dr. Durward spoke first on celiac disease. She said, the gluten free food industry is a $4.2 billion industry a year. On average, gluten free foods are 242 percent more expensive than regular foods. The gluten-free diet is hyped and endorsed by celebrities, who claim to feel better after starting a gluten free diet. There has been no research studies on the gluten-free diet for weight loss. Many celiac patient report gaining weight after starting a gluten-free diet, because the foods may contain more fat or sugar to make it more palatable.
Gluten is a protein found in some grains, including wheat, rye and barley. Gluten plays an important role in our food. It makes dough elastic and traps gas to provide a light and airy structure.
Celiac disease is a genetic disorder that causes damage to the intestines. The symptoms include abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, weight loss and head aches. Complications can be anemia, osteoporosis and intestinal cancer. Celiac disease affects one percent of the population. It is easy to treat. To diagnose the disease a blood sample is drawn and tested for antibodies. If the test is positive a biopsy of the small intestine is taken.
Another celiac related problem is non celiac gluten sensitivity. The symptoms are the same as celiac disease, but not as many complications. The symptoms occur hours to days after consuming gluten. There is no damage to the intestines with gluten sensitivity. It is estimated, six to ten percent of the population are sensitive to gluten. If the celiac disease blood test is negative, your doctor will go through a series of tests to determine if you are sensitive to gluten. Dr. Durward spoke secondly on organic food. She gave a history of the organic food. Organic farming began as a social movement in response to the negative effects of the industrial food system. Today, organic is a term regulated by the USDA, which refers to food grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. In animal food, organic means that the feed the animals ate was grown organically without antibiotics and growth hormones.
The common terms used for organic are; 100 percent organic, which means there are no synthetic ingredients. Organic, 95 percent of the ingredients are organic. Made with natural ingredients, 70 percent of the ingredients are organic. There is no regulations or standard definition of the word "natural." Read product labels carefully and don't buy a product based solely on the word natural. Free range is also a term that is not clearly defined. The only parameter on this term is the animal had outdoor access.
All produce in the U.S. must fall below the government thresholds for the use of pesticides. The pesticide residue on organic foods is less than nonorganic options. There are no proven health impacts from consuming pesticides at these levels. Some people feel these thresholds are too high and the evidence isn't conclusive. The long-term exposure to low-levels of pesticides is ongoing and some people choose "Better safe, than sorry." Wash all fruits and vegetable thoroughly with water this will minimize your exposure to pesticides.
Dr Durward also went over the Dirty Dozen and the Clean Fifteen. The Dirty Dozen is the foods that contain the most pesticide residue. The list includes; peaches, apples, sweet bell peppers, celery, nectarines (imported), strawberries, cherries, pears, grapes (imported), spinach, lettuce and potatoes.
The Clean 15 is the produce with lower levels of pesticide residue. The list includes; sweet corn, onions, pineapples, avocados, cabbage, frozen sweet peas, papayas, mangos, asparagus, eggplant, kiwi, grapefruit, cantaloupe, sweet potatoes and mushrooms.
When choosing to buy organic foods, choose what you feel safe eating and what fits in your budget. Organic foods are more expensive than conventionally produced foods. Maximize your budget by watching the sales ads and buy fresh produce, canned and frozen vegetables and fruits when they are on sale.
The next Festive Friday will be on Feb. 21 at the old court house in Castle Dale. The cost is $2 and includes lunch.
