The North Emery Water Users' Special Service District hosted a tour of the water plant and contributing springs on June 5. The water plant is located in Huntington Canyon just north of the power plant. The Plant has a half-million gallon storage tank that is 16 feet deep and is mostly underground. A sand wash, which cleans the water by filtering it through sand and gravel, is located just east of the storage tank. The sand and gravel develop a film of good bacteria, called Schmutzdecke, that destroys the bad bacteria in the water. The water taken from the wash is then cleaner than when first collected. When the sand level gets down to two feet, more sand is brought in.
In the water plant itself, there is a "chlorine room" which distributes approximately three pounds of chlorine per day into the water. It has an automatic adjuster, which currently is not working and will be eliminated and rebuilt to be hand adjusted. The room also has a ventilation fan and a leak detector. Inside the building, there are four water cells, called "clear wells." There was a problem in past winters with water freezing because the water only came in through one entrance. There are now small pipes, which circulate around the cells to keep the water moving so that no water freezes. There is also an overflow pipe in each of the cells that permits excess water to return to the river. The cells can accumulate a white film of calcium buildup from the hard water. The film is almost shell-like, and has to be skimmed off regularly so it doesn't interfere with the Schmutzdecke. The clear wells have a regulated flow and can be adjusted by hand to be higher or lower. One cell has water with a strong red tint. This is caused by high iron content.
Downstairs is where all of the pipes and meters are. The raw water comes in through a pipe into the cells. There is an adjustable meter on this pipe. The water then goes into the clear wells and back through a small pipe where chlorine is injected into the water. There are meters that measure the temperature of the water, the gallons per minute, and the turbidity, or level of dirt and particles in the water, on incoming and outgoing water. These meters are calibrated monthly.
The tour then went up to Big Bend Springs. There are approximately five springs that trickle between five and 10 gallons per minute that collect in a flat area and consolidate into about 20 to 30 gallons per minute. The district is looking at bringing the collection line down along the foot of the hill and putting in spring boxes and a gravel bed. There is still planning to do on this project and the district will need to meet with the forest service and BLM to determine right of way, and the most environmentally safe way to complete the task. The biggest obstacle will be getting the gravel across the river. They will be looking into a conveyor system to see if that will be easier on the vegetation as well as get the job done.
The tour also visited Rilda Springs. The area is fenced off, and has a lot of willows and wild rose bushes growing in it. There are perforated pipes throughout the area, and the vegetation poses a risk to those pipes. The roots of the trees can plug up the perforations. The district is working on a plan to further develop the spring area. Craig Johansen of Johansen and Tuttle Engineering said that there is an "extreme vegetation problem that needs to be controlled." He mentioned an aquatic herbicide that he had been researching that only kills "woody vegetation" such as roses, willows and cottonwoods, but leaves the grasses intact. Since the herbicide is aquatic, it breaks down in water. Johansen will be discussing the herbicide with the health department to ensure safety. The plan also has requested inspection manholes and clean-outs that will have access to perforated pipe areas. Johansen said that should the herbicide be used, they might have to take the springs out of commission for two to three weeks. The district is now prepared for such an event with the water storage tank. Johansen told the district that they need a "more aggressive maintenance program." He also stated that he thinks that the decrease of water from the spring is not entirely related to the drought and that he thinks the water is getting away from them due to maintenance problems. The district will continue to work on their plans to develop the springs and try to help decrease the water shortage, as they are able.
The district's monthly meeting immediately followed the tour. Johansen began by reviewing his proposed plan, graphs, charts and statistics for the projects at Big Bend and Rilda Springs. He asked the district to carefully read through the material and let him know if there were any questions or if they needed to change anything. He will be meeting with the health department and other agencies to try to further their progress.
The district then discussed the Lawrence water tank. They have decided to use a conventional sand blast tank rather than the spray-on liners. The tank needs to be painted. It has been about 18 years since it was last done. The district should have enough money from their CIB grant to take care of the tank, as well as the Big Bend and Rilda Springs projects. Johansen will obtain drawings and bids for the Big Bend Springs project for the next meeting.
The district has proposed a new resolution to charge for information provided to the public. There will be a standard fee of $2 per sheet, plus an hourly rate for office staff to research and find the information requested. The public has a right to all information except personal information, but must provide the district with 30 days to find the information requested.
In other business, a bid was awarded to Electrical Contractors to put in a fence around the pump house. There are three board members that are up for reelection this year. The district will need to send an official letter stating who is up for reelection and then the board members will need to reapply. The county commissioners will make up the application and then advertise the positions in the newspaper. Upon receiving all the applications, the district will meet and give the commissioners their recommendations and then the commissioners will choose who will be appointed. The district went over the financial report and noted that the rate increase has significantly helped reduce debt over the winter months. Water users have used approximately one million less gallons this April than last April, which means that people are conserving. The district commended the citizens for their efforts. The district will be putting a Ditch Witch up for bid. They approved all bills and last months minutes. They also donated money to the family of the late Richard Snowball.

: I need to install a pressure reducing valve on the main line that services my sprinklers and hose bibbs. Are there significant differences between the various brands? Local suppliers sell Honeywell, Watts and Wilkins. The line has 140 psi. My sprinkler heads are exploding one by one, and I'm told that the high pressure is the likely culprit. Any advice on PRVs appreciated.
Check this sight out or do a search on pressure reducing valves. Watts is excellant also. Dale Peck LMP

The Green River Chamber of Commerce sponsored its first economic development summit on Feb. 22 at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum. Four facilitators aided in the discussion of economic development opportunities for Green River. The summit goers split into four different groups and moved from session to session as the day proceeded and then back as a group for the final session.
Bim Oliver was the facilitator for the branding segment. He is the state coordinator for the Utah Pioneer Communities/Main Street Program. Oliver said branding is all about establishing a distinct, positive, marketable community identity for Green River. An important element of branding is to deliver on your promises with a sustained effort. It doesn't happen overnight and you need to be willing to put forth the effort for the long haul.
You need to define who you want to be and who you are now. What traditions, events, places and people most clearly define what Green River is? These types of questions must be answered in developing your brand. Oliver said you need to look at your assets and resources and how your community has been defined historically and how it is defined today. Oliver asked the group to list the assets of Green River. Among those listed included location with I-70 and the railroad being close at hand. Accessibility to recreation areas was also listed. Remoteness with nothing close by was listed as an asset. Assets also included watermelon and agriculture, Melon Days Celebration, boom and bust cycle history, outlaw history, non-Mormon settlers, Spanish Trail, explorers, trappers and the former missile site were listed as well as the climate. After Oliver compiled the lists he would ask the group to vote on their top three choices.
Oliver suggested looking at the current identity and how we think others perceive Green River. Some suggested that Green River is viewed as a rest stop along I-70 and the road to get to somewhere else and not a destination spot, perse. Some people may think there is "nothing to do in Green River."
Green River is noted for its watermelons and the Melon Days celebration. The Green River itself plays an important role in the identity of Green River. Some felt that people see Green River as two exits on the freeway with an east and west interchange and nothing in-between, no identity. Some people view Green River as only a once a year stop for Melon Days, work to change that perception is needed. Other perceptions included it being, "hot," with high gasoline prices. Some view Green River as just a place to get services, gas, food and a motel room. Some people perceived that others may view the town as uninviting and unattractive.
Oliver then addressed and questioned the group on their feelings on how Green River perceives itself. The group believes that Green River residents appreciate the wide-open spaces surrounding Green River and the opportunities this space affords them. Residents and nonresidents alike feel like Green River is on the way to somewhere. Green River needs to do a better job communicating what's great about Green River and inviting people here. It is a positive thing that Green River offers around the clock services. When people come to Green River and see what it has to offer then they want to stay.
Oliver said that Green River needs a message to convey what Green River has to offer by way of recreation. Within an hour's drive there are many attractions which can be reached. With Green River as the gateway to many one-of-a-kind attractions, a campaign can be launched to get people here to stay a few days. The group listed the many things to do and places to see within close proximity to Green River. The Green River Golf Course, San Rafael Swell, local museums, Dead Horse Point, the Green River, Henry and LaSal Mountains and the Book Cliffs, Crystal Geyser, Sego Canyon, Range Creek, just to name a few.
"You need to create a strong identity and a strong experience for those who come here," said Oliver.

It's elegant, styling and seems comfortable (I haven't had the chance to wear them outside of the home until now). I usually wear size 8, but ordered size 8.5 after reading some reviews and I am glad that I did. They fit perfectly as they run a little smaller than other types of shoes."

The Emery High Lady Spartan basketball season came to an abrupt halt with a loss to the Enterprise Wolves in the first round of the state 2-A play-offs. This culminated the end of an up and down season for Emery.
The season ended just as it began, with a game against Enterprise. On Nov. 22, Emery defeated Enterprise in Richfield by the score of 47-37. Nearly three months later, Emery loses by a score of 37-27. While the Emery defense managed to hold the Wolves to the same point total of 37, the Emery offense was not nearly as effective as they scored 20 points less this time around.
Emery finished the season with a record of 6-13, their worst mark since the 2003-4 season when they managed to win only four games.
Despite turning the ball over 26 times and despite shooting 40 percent at the free throw line, the Wolves did enough to win the game as their defense constantly harassed the Emery offense throughout the game.
Emery was outscored in the first quarter 11-6 and in the second quarter 8-5. Both teams scored five points in the third quarter. Enterprise won the final period 12-11. Emery had opportunity but the ball just didn't seem to bounce Emery's way.
Jeridi Price scored seven points with Kim Oldroyd and Blayr Jeffs scoring six points each. Laurel Roundy and Kelsie Cox each scored three points and Shelby Allred scored two points. Emery shot 19 percent the first half and 31 percent the second half to finish the game at 24 percent. Emery did not make a 3-point shot in the game.
Coach Dean Stilson after the game, "I feel sad for the girls, they deserved more." With only two seniors on this team, Emery will be a veteran team next season looking to return to the excellence that we have become accustomed to.

Rosane Doré Lefebvre Alfred-Pellan, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is really time that the government started walking the walk.
The problem of sexual harassment within the RCMP is not new. We have known about it for years. What is the minister's solution? He has washed his hands of the issue and referred it to a commission.
Do the Conservatives think that RCMP officers, who risk their lives every day to protect Canadians, deserve only empty words? Or will they finally give the RCMP the resources it needs to combat sexual harassment?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Candice Bergen Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Safety
Mr. Speaker, I disagree with the member opposite. All of us are concerned about these allegations. We are concerned with any prospect that any member of the RCMP would face harassment. That is why we have taken action. We are pleased that the commissioner has taken this seriously. He has made strong statements on this. He is taking action. There is pending litigation, so we will wait to see what the outcome is.
International Trade
Oral Questions
May 10th, 2012 / 2:55 p.m.
Rob Merrifield Yellowhead, AB
Mr. Speaker, history has shown that in severe economic times and challenge, the global economy is revived through lowering trade barriers, not raising them.
However, concerns have been raised about an amendment to a buy America provision in the transportation bill before the U.S. Congress. Shamefully, the NDP member for Burnaby—New Westminster has called the buy America a perfectly logical policy.
Could the Minister of International Trade please share with the House how our government is defending a strong Canada-U.S. partnership and creating jobs for Canadian workers and their families?
International Trade
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Ed Fast Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway
Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Yellowhead for his excellent work as chair of the committee. Canadians know that our government always has and always will defend their interests.
When buy America provisions were introduced in 2009, we negotiated an exemption for Canada. When they were reintroduced last year, we aggressively but respectfully engaged with the United States and the legislation died.
I am confident that our American cousins share the view that we must all do our part to ensure that the Canada-U.S. partnership, which is the envy of the world, grows even stronger as we go forward during these very difficult times.

Frank Valeriote Guelph, ON
Mr. Speaker, the 2011 Census of Agriculture shows a 10% decline in farms and farm operators. Young Canadians are not returning to the farm, with the average age of farmers now 58 years.
Making it worse, the government is removing the ability of local industry and farmers to identify innovative measures to improve competitiveness funded through the agricultural adaptation program. Now it will be a political decision of the minister.
Will the minister please listen to farmers and industry and return the delivery of federal funding to local agricultural councils in regions across Canada?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Gerry Ritz Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board
Mr. Speaker, this side is very proud of the work we have done on behalf of Canadian producers and processors. They are exporting record amounts throughout the world.
Yes, we have less farmers doing a far better job and producing more product than we have ever seen. Innovation and efficiency has taken over. They are no longer waiting for the Liberal cheques in the mailbox. They are out there in the world marketplace doing a great job for us.

Jean Rousseau Compton—Stanstead, QC
Mr. Speaker, last Tuesday, the Minister of Transport was visibly overwhelmed by a simple question about the Smugglers Hill Farm wind turbine project in Vermont, on the other side of the border from the town of Stanstead.
People are worried about their health and safety, and the minister knew very well what I was talking about. He was so confused, or paying so little attention, that he thought I was talking about a project in Quebec. And they claim to care about the interests of Quebeckers.
Can the Minister of Foreign Affairs confirm that he is now in contact with the mayor of Stanstead, Mr. Dutil, and that he is going to make sure that the concerns of the residents of his town are heard on the other side of the border?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his work on this issue. We are aware of this matter and we have spoken with the mayor of Stanstead, the Government of Quebec and the State of Vermont.
The government will continue to make the best possible decisions for Canadian and to stand up for their interests. We will be monitoring the situation closely and I will be pleased to work with the member on this very important matter.

Corneliu Chisu Pickering—Scarborough East, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the reckless NDP used tactics, which even the leader of the Liberal Party called absurd, to eliminate debate in the House of Commons on an important bill that would benefit Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
Would the Minister of State for Finance please update the House on the status of Canada's economic action plan 2012, a plan for jobs, growth and long-term prosperity in Canada?
The Budget
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Ted Menzies Minister of State (Finance)
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government remains focused on jobs and growing the economy. That is why, in Canada's economic action plan 2012, we ensured that it was full of measures to promote job creation, including investments for training, infrastructure and new opportunities for young Canadians, first nations, newcomers and the unemployed.
It is frustrating when the opposition plays games with Canadians' future. Canadians want us to get this passed. They want this to happen. We need to focus on that and get it done for everyone.

Niki Ashton Churchill, MB
Mr. Speaker, this week, we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of northern Manitoba. Despite the progress of the last 100 years, there are still communities in northern Manitoba without all-weather roads and with third world conditions.
First nations lack basic safe drinking water and are even getting a special visit from the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food.
Liberal governments ignored first nations and the Conservative government has turned its back on them too. When will it partner with the provinces and first nations to put an end to the unacceptable living conditions aboriginal people face?

We are very proud of our nutrition north program, which has meant a reduction in the food basket costs for the average family in those 103 communities that it applies to. We think we are making major progress.

Jean-François Fortin Haute-Gaspésie—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia, QC
Mr. Speaker, after the closing of the Quebec City rescue centre, which was able to respond to fishers and pleasure boaters in French, and after the removal of valuable artifacts from Quebec's history to be put on a shelf far from their place of origin, it is now the turn of the military in Quebec to bear the cost of the Conservative government's cuts.
While members of the military were able to use French-language mediation services at CFB Valcartier and in Saint-Jean, now the Conservatives are eliminating 10 of the 25 mediator positions, including all the positions in Quebec.
Why does the government want to deprive members of the military in Quebec of easy access, in French, to this essential dispute resolution service?

Mr. Speaker, the member does not have enough information. The decision was made to expand our service, but it is sometimes necessary to review certain services, and that is what we are now doing.
We have taken the view that we are looking to provide direct services in many cases, particularly in areas of mental health services. We have made decisions to make those professionals closer to bases, closer to where the service is needed, and we do so in both official languages.

Irwin Cotler Mount Royal, QC
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the minister's comments, but they remind me of a recent response of his in a similar situation. In response to a Montreal Gazette editorial, the minister wrote not unlike that which he said in response to my comments today:
It is simply incorrect to suggest that C-31 includes any new powers, or loosens any of the criteria in Canada's immigration laws pertaining to the removal of refugee status.
However, as Professor Sean Rehaag of Osgoode Hall Law School pointed out in his response to the minister, who, I suspect, will have a response to that as well, the issue we are concerned about has to do with the cessation provision in Bill C-31 which authorizes the stripping of people's refugee status that underpin their permanent residency, thus making them subject to deportation. As Professor Rehaag noted:
This is a sweeping change to Canadian refugee law, one that puts the permanent residence of tens of thousands of recognized refugees at risk.
While this may not be the sweeping change that has been so characterized, it clearly is a change, unlike that which the minister himself so characterized.

March 26th, 2012 / 1:30 p.m.
Don Davies Vancouver Kingsway, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism continually says that Canada exceeds our obligations of international law by simply giving a refugee claimant a hearing. Under the 1951 refugee convention, host countries have the obligation to assess the claim of any asylum seeker who reaches their territory.
Of course, there is no refugee queue. Everyone has the right to seek asylum regardless of how many others are doing so at the same time. There is no obligation in international law for a refugee to seek asylum in the nearest country. Refugees often escape to the nearest country. Often the country is not a signatory to the UN refugee convention and has no legal obligation to protect them. Those people are often at risk of arrest, abuse, detention, demands for bribes, forced labour, et cetera.
I would like to make a brief comment on the minister's comments on previous Bill C-11 about the independent committee to assess designated safe countries. What he said then was that those amendments "go a long way in providing greater clarity and transparency around the process of designation". That is what the minister said about the committee in the last Parliament and he scrapped that committee in this Parliament.
Why does my hon. colleague think the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism may have changed his opinion on the process of designating safe countries?

Protecting Canada's Immigration System Act
Government Orders
1:30 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Works and Government Services
Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to express my support for Bill C-31, the protecting Canada's immigration system act.
If there is one thing that Canadians can be proud of, it is the way we treat foreign nationals who seek our protection. Our asylum system is one of the most generous in the world. Currently, Canada opens its doors to one in 10 of the world's resettled refugees.
Our humanitarian efforts have even been recognized by the United Nations. Since the second world war, Canada has granted asylum to over one million refugees. As a Canadian and a Quebecker, I am proud of our humanitarian tradition. Our government is determined to maintain this tradition that Canadians are so proud of.
Canada welcomes 10% of the world's resettled refugees, more than almost any other country. Our government has also increased the number of resettled refugees, with plans to settle 2,500 more by 2013 for a total of 14,500, which is a 20% increase.
The rationale behind Bill C-31 is simple: by focusing our system's resources on the people who genuinely need our protection, we will be better able to help those people. But we can make our system more generous only if we correct the problems in it.
We got closer to that goal with the passing of the Balanced Refugee Reform Act in June 2010, but the fact is that gaps remain in the system. We need more robust measures that are more like the ones in the bill that was first introduced.
For example, our asylum system is already overwhelmed by a significant backlog of claims. The growing number of bogus claims from European Union democracies is only exacerbating the problem. When we consider that virtually all claims from the European Union in recent years were abandoned, withdrawn or rejected by the Immigration and Refugee Board, an independent body, it is quite apparent that too many of our tax dollars are being spent on people who do not need our protection.
What are we to make of the fact that most claimants from the EU abandon or withdraw their claims, if not that the claimants themselves believe they do not need Canada's protection and therefore filed bogus claims?
By building on the Balanced Refugee Reform Act, Bill C-31 would save hard-working Canadian taxpayers $1.65 billion over five years. I think Canadians would agree that that money could be put to better use than dealing with bogus refugee claimants who abuse our system to enter our country through the back door. Yet that is just what we are doing now. We are using taxpayers' money to help people who should not even be here.
A failed refugee claim costs taxpayers an average of $55,000 because the current system is far too slow. On average, it can take up to 4.5 years from the time an initial claim is made until a failed claimant is removed from Canada. A number of cases have dragged on for more than 10 years. During this time, claimants can receive free health care and social assistance while their claims are pending. Long wait times mean greater costs for Canadian taxpayers.
It also takes too long for people who need our protection to move through the system. Those who truly need our protection now wait approximately two years—20 months—for a decision on their claims, which is unfair to genuine claimants. Our message to genuine claimants who are waiting patiently in line is that we are sorry. We know that they need protection, but they must wait two years before we can tell them whether they will get it. This is just not fair. It is an abuse of our country's generosity.
This situation deprives genuine claimants of their peace of mind and of the opportunity to quickly obtain protection.
In view of these problems, further improvements to our refugee system are obviously needed. Canadians have had enough. They want our government to take action and improve the system. That is exactly what we are doing with Bill C-31.
This bill will not just improve the current system and the Balanced Refugee Reform Act, it will also provide genuine claimants with protection sooner. The success of the new system depends on our ability to expedite the processing of claims, which is essential. The less time claimants spend in Canada waiting for a decision, the less incentive there is to abuse our generous refugee system and to queue-jump the regular immigration process. In addition, by speeding up processing times for refugee claims, we can provide genuine refugees with protection more quickly.
With Bill C-31, for example, claimants from designated countries of origin could have an IRB hearing within 30 to 45 days, as opposed to the 1,000 or more days it currently takes.
Let us be clear: the independent Immigration and Refugee Board will continue to hear every eligible claim, as it does now, regardless of the claimant's country of origin. In addition, every failed claimant will have access to at least one recourse mechanism, such as the refugee appeal division or the Federal Court. These new processing timelines not only mean that people who are in genuine need of Canada's protection will receive it more quickly, they also mean that we can more quickly remove those who do not.
Given the recent spike in the number of unfounded claims from countries that respect human rights and defend democratic values, and that are not usually source countries for refugees, we must absolutely deter the abuse of our refugee system. Quick removals would deter abuse and contribute to reducing the overall cost of our asylum system.
We need to send the right message to both types of refugee claimants: the genuine and the unfounded. Those who truly need our help will get it even faster, but if someone is not in need of protection, that individual will be sent home quickly. These proposed measures will allow us to continue to meet our domestic and international obligations.
These measures will also help to maintain the balance and fairness that are the foundations of our refugee system. Canadians gave our government a clear mandate to preserve the integrity of our immigration system. Bill C-31 delivers on that mandate.
This bill to protect Canada's immigration system will help to provide a quicker and more secure beginning here in Canada for victims of violence and persecution from around the world. At the same time, it will prevent bogus claimants from abusing the generosity of our immigration system and from benefiting from our health and social welfare services, which are paid for by taxpayers.
Canadians, and Quebeckers in particular, take great pride in the generosity of our immigration system, but they have no tolerance for those who abuse our generosity and seek to take unfair advantage of our country.
For all of these reasons, I urge all of my hon. colleagues in the opposition to support this important bill and to help us pass it quickly.

Andrew Cash Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have been listening all morning to members on the government side speak to the bill. Since we arrived here in May we have been listening to the government continually attacking the most vulnerable people in our country.
Government members describe the way in which refugees come to this country as if it were some kind of decision made by them in far-off countries because it would be fun, because they could scam the system and because they could do a lot better in Canada. That is not right. People who come to our shores, especially those who come by way of the egregious activities of human smugglers, come here because they have no choice. They are fleeing their home countries because they want to save their lives and the lives of their families.
I want to ask a question of the member opposite that plays very much to things that the government apparently is concerned about. The Conservatives talk about how we are losing so much money and how the system is broken. Would it not be better to hire more people to fill the vacancies at the IRB and get the claims processed faster?

Mr. Speaker, the protecting Canada's immigration system act will provide a quicker and more secure beginning here in Canada for victims of violence and persecution around the world. It will also help us prevent false asylum seekers from abusing the generosity of our immigration system and receiving significant taxpayer-funded health and social services.

Mr. Speaker, as I was saying in my speech, Canada has the fairest and most generous immigration system in the world. However, Canadians have no tolerance for those who abuse our generosity and take unfair advantage of our country. We have to take steps to clamp down on these abuses. Our government is determined to strengthen the integrity of Canada's immigration system. The protecting Canada's immigration system act will make our refugee system faster and fairer. This legislation would put a stop to foreign criminals, human smugglers and bogus refugees abusing our generous immigration system and receiving taxpayer-funded health and social services.
The bill will also make it possible to offer protection more quickly to those who really need it. The bill will save Canadian taxpayers at least $1.65 billion over the next five years.

Brian Masse Windsor West, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise on Bill C-31, a very important piece of legislation. I hope to put some of this into context.
I wish our new elected official from Toronto—Danforth, Mr. Craig Scott were able to participate. He has yet to be sworn in. He has a legal degree from Oxford, London School of Economics and Dalhousie University. He can certainly provide an international lens to this. Canada is not an island. It is important to deal with the issues of worldwide refugee problems, whether they be violence, hunger, persecution for religion or beliefs or not having beliefs. This is something that Canada has to do with other nations.
I have empathy for the minister having to deal with a difficult file. Karen Boyce in my office is directly assigned to deal with immigration matters. She has worked diligently for 10 years, since I was elected in 2002, processing many claims for people, because we have such a backlog in our system. Sadly, we are not even funded to have a direct immigration person. However, in my office we are dedicated to that service. Karen has basically dedicated her life over the last 10 years to helping people. There is not a day that goes by that she does not change somebody's life.
It is important we talk about this, and think about some of the language that is being used here by the government. In the last couple of minutes I jotted down the words government members are using: protection, take advantage, security of population, abuse, crackdown, bogus. These are the types of words that the government is using to describe the most vulnerable who are coming to our shores, whether they be refugees or immigrants.
I think about this, and I think about my grandfather, Fred Attwood, who came to Canada after the Second World War. How courageous he must have been to come across the ocean, to Windsor, Ontario where he had never been before. He had to try to find a job and save money to send back for his wife, daughter and young son who had been left behind. I thought about how courageous it was. When we go to citizenship ceremonies, we think about how courageous people are. Also, there are the ones who are being persecuted and who do not know their fate. They are often dealing with children.
Let us be straight about this. Canada needs immigration and refugees. That is a reality for us to sustain our quality of life. That is necessary. We have a small population growth right now. That is not going to do, the day we need our pensions paid for, our economy moving and important new skill sets.
Let us put a face on some of these people the government is saying are dangerous, are security issues, who have problems and who we have to make sure are not going to be threatening the general public. They are people like K'naan. He was born in Somalia. He spent his childhood in Mogadishu and lived there during the Somalian civil war which began in 1991. Is a person like that a threat? He is a refugee.
How about Adrienne Clarkson, former Governor General of Canada? She emigrated from Hong Kong as a refugee in 1942. She came here, making her mark and contributing to Canada.
How about Fedor Bohatirchuk, a chess master? He has since passed away, but he was persecuted in Ukraine. He came to Canada and contributed for many years.
Sitting Bull, the Sioux chief. He left America for Canada as a holy man who led his people as tribal chief during the years of resistance in the United States. Sitting Bull eventually came here to Canada from the United States.
These are the people we are talking about. So when we see a system that is going to be put in place, we have to be very careful. I do not like the language that is being used. I do not think it is fair. I do not think it is right. It feeds into the base, the negativity. It is almost exhausting to see that this is what Canada is about, that we literally have a refugee problem that is overwhelming the capability of our current government, and that we have to gut our immigration and refugee policies to deal with this plague before it destabilizes our country. That is almost the message the Conservatives seem to be trying to paint.
We do have problems with our immigration and refugee situation. We do want to make improvements. There is no doubt about that. However painting it in this context, locking up people, tearing families apart, having no defined dates, having no capabilities to be able to advocate for themselves, is this what we are trying to espouse?
I do not like to see lists. I have seen this in the past. I was in the Canadian embassy in Washington in 2003. The ambassador said that Canada was going to have certain citizens who, when they entered the United States, would be put on a list because they came from a different country. I asked if we were going to protest that. He said that we were going to accept that. I said that is wrong, because that list is going to grow. Sure enough, it did. It went from 5 countries to 17.
Now there is a situation where our own citizenship is being tiered and defined by the U.S. to this day, with no resistance from the government, not the previous Liberal administration, not the current administration. We have accepted the fact that they will not validate our legal and due process to assign citizenship to the people we want to come into our country. We have allowed them to tier that.
What happens on the Windsor-Detroit border every day is ironic. We have doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers, a whole slew of people, some of them were born in Pakistan 40 years ago, who are saving lives.
This is the funny part. Their credentials are not recognized in Canada, so they have to go into the United States and serve in the hospitals there. They are considered a threat to the United States at the border, in many respects because they happen to come from a country that the United States defines as being insecure or having issues, despite having Canadian citizenship. They are actually fingerprinted and photographed. Then they go to their jobs, saving American lives every day.
Ironically, they sometimes save Canadian lives, because when the hospitals are full in Windsor or if there are problems with people that cannot be solved, instead of being sent to London sometimes they will be sent to the United States. They get treated by a doctor who is not qualified to treat them in Canada and cannot get a job here. It is unbelievable. We have not been able to solve that in over 10 years.
The problem we have with this bill is it does not deal with the real situation of the backlog. I am concerned with the delays that are going to take place by not having appropriate staff levels.
We see this on a regular basis. For people waiting for security clearances, what happens is their health clearance goes null after its expiry date. Then they try to go back and get that and have their security clearance go null again, or wait in advance for many years. We have many cases where people are waiting for many years because of security reasons. We understand and appreciate that. However, why would we not put the resources to get these people moving?
Once again, we are connected to the world in regard to refugees. When there is a situation as in Sri Lanka, or in the past with Jews out of the Second World War, it is for all the world to contribute and do its due diligence to ensure that those who are vulnerable, through no fault of their own, get protection. Hopefully, we can restart their lives so they can contribute to our country and planet.
When we talk about refugees, think about people in the past who were refugees. Bob Marley was a refugee from Jamaica. Olivia Newton-John's grandfather was a refugee, as was Max Born. There is K'Naan, as I mentioned before. There are people like Jackie Chan. He was a refugee because of the Triads in Hong Kong. There is Jerry Springer, and I am not a fan of him, but his parents were German refugees. My own editorial opinion is he has not improved the television I watch, but the point is it is a free democracy.
There is Madeleine Albright. Under the system we are talking about, she would be considered a risk and would have to be vetted through our system the way the government wants to do it. Madeleine Albright and Harry Kissinger were refugees. As I mentioned, Sitting Bull was a refugee. I would bet if one were to look at some of the persecutions of people who did not want to participate in the draft during the Vietnam War, they would probably not be let in Canada anymore. Victor Hugo was a refugee. Here is another interesting refugee, Albert Einstein.
When we talk about this, we need to have some context. That is why I think it is important to note the language coming out. It was interesting to hear the minister talk about polls. In a question to one of my colleagues, he talked about polls wanting Canada to do this. We get calls and false emails all the time claiming refugees are getting all this money. It is not true. It is all a campaign of hate.
On an issue like this, sometimes the proper thing to do is not what is popular but what is right. That is hard to do sometimes, and the Conservatives do not understand that. They see this as a wedge issue.
When the Conservatives use the words, "bogus", "crackdown", "abuse", "protection", "take advantage", "security of the population", I refute that with the refugees who have contributed to Canada and this planet. We have to be there for them, not only in terms of passing legislation but in ensuring they can contribute to our country.

Jason Kenney Minister of Citizenship
Mr. Speaker, I can tell the member spent the weekend at the NDP echo chamber because his comments have nothing to do with reality.
Here is the reality. Canada, under this government, is receiving more resettled refugees than any other country in the world per capita. We resettle 1 out of every 10 resettled refugees worldwide. We have 0.05% of the world's population and take 10% of resettled refugees, but that is not enough. This government is so open to our humanitarian tradition that we are increasing the number of resettled refugees that we are accepting as part of our immigration plan by 20%, but that is not enough. We are increasing the refugee assistance program to assist newcomers in need of our protection with their integration. We are increasing that by 20%, but that is not enough. We are so committed to ensuring that asylum claimants get a fair shake that we are creating, for the first time, the refugee appeal division at the IRB, a full, fact-based hearing process for failed claimants.
This government is maintaining what the UNHCR calls the model asylum system in the world. We are making record large contributions to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Why is the member denigrating the best record in the world when it comes to refugee protection?

Mr. Speaker, I cannot mention who is or is not in the House, but obviously the applause was not for my answer. I wish I were that popular. However, it is a pleasure to have the member for Outremont back in this place.
To answer the minister quickly, if our system is so good, why does he have to establish laws and measures to control it? If it is so good, why does the minister have such little faith in his own legislation? This debate is about moving the control of our refugee information into a small cabal as opposed to having due process to ensure that when refugees show up on the shores of Canada, they are going to have a fair and partial process to become part of our country.

Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am very proud that the Arthritis Society has chosen me as honorary co-chair of the Walk to Fight Arthritis. As my colleagues are aware, I lived with arthritis for six years before I had a hip replacement last fall, even though I had already had a replacement in 2007. I know what it is like to live with this pain and difficulty. I am very proud to take on this role.
The march for arthritis awareness will take place in Montreal on May 27 in Jean Drapeau Park. I am very honoured to fulfill my co-chair role with very popular broadcaster Richard Turcotte. We are hoping that through this effort together we will increase awareness and support for the very important work of the Arthritis Society across Canada.

Kellie Leitch Simcoe—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to highlight a new Government of Canada initiative that will increase the safety of young skiers and snowboarders across the country.
Last week I had the privilege of announcing the government's snowsmart initiative with the Minister of State for Sport in my riding of Simcoe—Grey and supported by the Blue Mountain Resort team of Dave Sinclair and Dan Skelton as well as municipal councillor Gail Ardiel and Mayor Ellen Anderson.
Our government has committed $200,000 to the snowsmart campaign in conjunction with Smartrisk, the Canadian Ski Patrol System and the Canadian Snowboard Foundation. The purpose of this initiative is to ensure that skiers and snowboarders across the country can participate in winter sports in a manner that is safe and prevents life-threatening injuries.
Many of the accidents that happen on ski hills are preventable and involve young children. It is up to us to lead the safety campaign that ensures that young skiers and snowboarders are hitting the slopes in a fun but safe way.
Canadians should be proud of our winter sport heritage and I am proud to be part of a government that supports safe participation of young people in winter sports.

Nature of Business: Acute Care Hospital
Environmental Accomplishments:• Changed from disposable to reusable wall-mounted sharps containers• Incorporated the irrigation system into their energy management system. Now zones turn off and on based on weather conditions. Will not come on during rain. Irrigation flow is also monitored, and unusual increases in flow rate (potential leaks) will trigger an alarm and shut off the system. The system will identify the zone where the potential leak exists which facilitates repair.• Decrease in biohazardous waste of 54% since 2000 due to employee education. Marked decrease due to special program with operating room orderlies.• Blue towels on surgical trays now washed and reused as rags. Formerly disposed as biohazardous waste. Success of this program has been shared with other hospitals.• Relocated biohazardous waste containers a few steps away from the regular trash. This action encourages staff to consciously think about whether an item is biohazardous or solid waste.• Now have only one x-ray processor left on site (for use as a back up as needed). All other x-rays are now digitally processed. This has resulted in a 50% reduction in photochemical waste.• $21,645 saved due to electricity use reduction and $11,876 was saved from natural gas reduction for a total of $33,521saved in fiscal year 2005.• Applied a spray polyurethane foam (SPF) on their roof. SPF is sprayed directly on the existing roof surface to form a seamless, waterproof, insulated coating. This reflective coating saves money on cooling costs.

Comments: Probably one of the best helmets i've used. I have used RBK helmets and CCM helmets for a long time, switched to other brands and kept coming back. Used the 8k with the epp foams and after a bad concussion decided to give the VN liner helmets a try, this one is a very low sitting helmet which is perfect for us guys with huge heads and other helmets sit like sombreros (coughbauerandeastoncough). First off the look of the helmet is very clean, simple design, ventilation vents on the front are great, you can actually feel the air coming in and exiting on the back as you skate. The liner is perfect, not too much just right and doesnt ride back or forward. The protection of VN liners is great, its got two layers, one is the one that makes contact with your head, which is the beige liner, its a softer lower density foam for harder impacts to absorb the shock, and the black liner past that is the heavier duty one that diminishes the most of the shock impacts. as far as ventilation, protection, and feel this is one of the best helmets. Theres a reason why a lot of pros wore and still wear this helmet.

Comments: My first pair of Mizunos. Love the fit, nice roomy toe box and forefoot but snug elsewhere.
From: Lexi, San Bernardino, Ca.
Comments: Love it so far! My former shoe was the Altra Torin. I have extreme bunions and the Cursoris has a flexible mesh upper that allows my toes to 'poke' through. With the Torin and prior to that the Asics Gel Nimbus, I had to wear silicon toe caps and still had toe pain with any distance over 6 miles. No toe pain so far with the Cursoris. I've only run about 50 miles so cannot speak to durability but I plan to buy another pair in case they discontinue the meshy upper on the Cursoris.
From: Julie, Santa Cruz, CA
Comments: I have been running in these since January as a replacement for the Vibram FiveFingers, which I have been advised by an orthopedist I shouldn't wear anymore. I LOVE them - roomy toebox, comfortable, perfect for my forefoot striking - but I have one big issue. The outsole is wearing WAY too quickly at the outer toe. I typically run no more than 10-12 miles in a week and had to replace these shoes after only four months (so not even 200 miles). Rather upsetting considering the cost, but I have yet to find another pair of minimalist shoes that make me as happy as these do, so I'll suck it up - just be warned!

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 4:35 PM GMT on January 04, 2010
It was a relatively quiet year globally for natural disasters in 2009. According to Munich Re insurance company, the death toll from 2009 natural disasters was approximately 10,000, well below the average 75,000 deaths per year seen over the decade of the 2000s. Damage from 2009 natural disasters was about $50 billion, compared to the decadal average of $115 billion, and far below the $200 billion in destruction wrought by 2008's natural disasters. The most costly disaster of 2009 was Winter Storm Klaus, which hit northern Spain and southwest France January 23 - 25, causing $5.1 billion in damage. The deadliest weather-related disaster was Category 2 Typhoon Ketsana, which killed 694 people in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Category 2 Typhoon Morakot was a close second, with 614 fatalities, primarily in Taiwan. The deadliest natural disaster overall was the magnitude 7.6 earthquake that shook the Indonesian island of Sumatra on 30 September, killing nearly 1,200 people.
Figure 1. Cars being swept away by Ketsana's flood waters in a still frame from a dramatic YouTube video captured by medical students at the East Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center.
I'll be back Tuesday with my selection for the top global weather event of 2009: the Horn of Africa drought.

With those Christmas songs still stuck in our head, we pack away the ornaments, take down the lights and put away the nativity and the Menorah until next year. And as we drag the tree to the curb, we are also preparing ourselves to say goodbye to 2011 and readying ourselves for all that 2012 has to offer.
But wait, before we get too far in our planning for the New Year, there is still one more gift left to open. It must have fallen behind the tree, has been left hidden in a closet, or is waiting to be picked up at the post office. The present that has yet to be opened is addressed to each one of us and no one else but us. It has our name on the label, it really does, I know this because I have seen it with my own eyes.
OK, so here is a sneak peak at our gift, the one that I am referring to and that remains unopened, the one addressed to each one of us personally is this, a spectacular 2012, and maybe just our best year ever.
2011 will soon be yesterday's news. The heartache and disappointments, the hurts and brokenness, and the temporary failures and setbacks can all be left behind. While the triumphs, amazing memories, and incredible experiences that filled our prior year will now fuel our momentum and will serve as a solid foundation of success as we enter into the spectacular-ness of our 2012.
Let's take a look inside the box and see what we find. We will find the goals we have clearly defined for ourselves; we will find true friends, the friends that we have personally selected and who we know will stand by us through thick and thin, we will find love, hope, encouragement, and forgiveness; we will find new skills and a positive attitude; charity and goodwill; and we will find a box full of appreciation and gratitude.
What will be noticeably absent from our gift box will be; the people who wouldn't support us; negative attitudes; the bad habits that have dragged us down in the past; the jobs that weren't right for us at the time; jealousy, envy, hatred, and anger. Not one of these things will be found anywhere near our gift.
Without question 2012 could very well be our best year ever. And when we look back next December on the year that was or that might have been, the difference will be whether or not we focused our energy, intent, and commitment on what was actually in our final gift instead of focusing on the things that were missing.
I am wishing you all a very happy, successful, and blessed New Year. And I do hope that you will enjoy the final gift left to open. If you want to share your ideas, strategies, and plans for 2012, you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I believe that you will make 2012 a better than good year.
