While the argument is sound, would the outcome be what is best for the nation? I assume you would put forward that after reforming the senate so it is made up of elected members, the next step would be to give them greater say in the process of bringing bills into law. This then handcuffs the...

Should we not wait until we have an established industry, that has seen international investment sunk into Canadian operations before we start throwing these tariffs in place (regardless of the gov't in power)? I get the tariffs on finished products, but putting tariffs on the primary materials...

Given I have no Navy experience, I am curious about something. How does a Carrier Group deal with transiting busy waterways? Are there fishing vessels and small craft darting in an out of their bubble? Many of the points brought up seem to come from the individual ship point of view, and I was...

I don't disagree with the premise of your argument. And the solution is to hire more staff so individuals aren't put into these positions. The trade off though would be that you need to pay everyone less, reduce overtime, etc. so that the overall cost of doing business doesn't go up. The...

The last two options are unlikely to occur if the member has obligatory service due to their completing the ROTP process. The CAF would rather keep them around for the 5 years doing joe jobs until their OS is completed. The first two options could happen, but why would the system force someone...

I'm not speaking of the entire team, just the individual who caused significant issues during the implementation.

I think it is time for everyone to understand that any procurement that is going to require additional PYs in the RCAF, especially where pilots and other aircrew are concerned, isn't going to move forward any time in the near future. We aren't even coming close to meeting the current demand for...

Will the previous PM be penalized for their poor performance on the file as well, maybe by having to return some of that performance pay , in addition to them being shuffled over to a less visible file?

Trenton ramp space is maxed out, more so with the introduction of the CC330. The city of North Bay has owned and run Jack Garland Airport since 2003, and while the aerodrome could likely support the aircraft (potentially bringing in contracted support for all functions, thus alleviating the...

I listened to her interview on one of the cbc programs last night and thought it interesting that she continued to state that there was no list of individuals in the unredacted copy. She did not say there were no names mentioned. She emphasized there was no list of names. I thought it a very...

They don't have higher standards, they just enforce the high standards better. Show up for work not complying with the standard, you might get a warning but a second time would be dismissal, especially if you're still on a probation period. After the probie period, the process is a little more...

Prove it. Because if there were any actual discussions had at the levels that matter, I'm sure we would have been an about turn. On deployed operations, its actions that matters.

All great deployments for the crews, but wouldn't one think that the Arctic Offshore Patrol Vessels would be planning to sail, I don't know, into Arctic waters? Aren't we starting to get into the season where the northern routes are opening up?

Alright, I'll step back from the last part of my previous post when put in the context that the vandalism is out of frustration with wasted government spending.

While a person's hair colour doesn't generally matter to me, I can say that most fluorescent hair colours don't appeal to me personally. However, I have yet to have anyone provide any empirical data that indicates it poses more of a threat in an operational environment than someone with bleach...

There is probably no reason to put them in 95% of male washrooms. But, this is an example of implementing a direction to the letter, so as not to have to face the backlash of non-compliance. The direction was females individuals who menstruate would have access to free menstrual supplies. The...

The slides towards the end I find were more indicative of some of the culture issues these dress issues have identified. If you are older and/or higher up the food chain, you are more comfortable making appearance changes, and feel they are more accepted. Does this imply that we believe Jr...

But here is where most people are going to be critical of public servants, and others who WFH. The children should be going to childcare regardless of whether the parents are working from home or the office. How does a parent look after one or more preschool children at home and still put in a...

When my son was born overseas, we had to get him a citizenship card, as his Dutch birth certificate is not recognized for most government applications (passports, sin, etc.). I believe that this would impact anyone who was not born in Canada, and had children abroad, regardless of which...

This is going to be an uphill slog for the member, and require he answer a whole bunch of questions to clarify his status on enrolment. When he enrolled, what was his marital status? Was there a reason he was living apart from his family (legal separation for instance)? Why did he indicate his...
