Commons review

From yesterday's Hansard...

Bob Mills can spot a problem and repeat his complaint, but doesn't mention why we should think he has an effective plan.

Bev Desjarlais blasts inaction on Zonolite:
During the 1970s and 1980s, thousands of homes in Canada were insulated with zonolite. The federal government encouraged its use under the CHIP program. The Liberals have said they will remove the dangerous asbestos from military homes, but not from reserve housing or from hundreds of thousands of other homes across Canada...
(T)he Liberal government should be rightly recognized as the villain, willing to risk the lives of Canadians by ignoring the danger.

Jason Kenney, Peter MacKay and Stockwell Day are outraged that a world power actually has a spy service.

Jack's back to smog, with good results.

Brian Masse makes it clear that the NDP does care about trade with the U.S., and wonders whether the government does the same.

And Diane Bourgeois takes the lead on foreign aid. Much as I'd like to see the NDP at the frontlines on this one (particularly given the contents of C-48), at least it's getting talked about.
