M. Peter Julian (New Westminster—Burnaby, NPD) demande à présenter le projet de loi C-287, Loi modifiant la Loi canadienne sur la protection de l’environnement (1999) (nanotechnologie).
— Monsieur le Président, j'aimerais remercier la très travaillante députée d'Essex d'avoir appuyé mon projet de loi.
La nanotechnologie consiste en l'application des sciences et des technologies pour manipuler la matière à l'échelle atomique ou moléculaire. Les nanomatériaux sont un ingrédient d'un appareil ou d'une structure qui mesure entre 1 et 100 nanomètres. Ces matériaux sont présents dans plus de 1 000 produits de consommation, dont les aliments et les cosmétiques. Le cadre réglementaire actuel répond mal à la prolifération croissante des nanoproduits.
It is for this reason that the NDP is bringing forward a balanced approach, ensuring the responsible development of nanotechnology and the safe use of nano materials in Canada. This bill would mandate a risk-assessment process to identify the potential benefits and possible risks of nanotechnologies before nano products enter the market. It would also require a comprehensive publicly accessible database that lists existing nano materials identified by the Government of Canada.
I am hoping, and it just makes good common sense, that all members of the House of Commons will support this act to amend the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, for nanotechnology. I hope to have the support of all members.
NDP Critic for Canadian Heritage Peter Julian issued the following statement:
"It has come to our attention that a consultant for a federally funded anti-racism project has a disturbing track record of spewing hate speech online against Jewish and francophone communities. This is completely unacceptable. We call on the Minister of Heritage to take drastic action and terminate his contract.
NDP Heritage Critic Peter Julian issued the following statement:
“Today’s announcement by Hockey Canada is another attempt to delay the important and urgent work to deal with the toxic culture in this organization. While a former Supreme Court Justice is a credible appointment to conduct the review into Hockey Canada, this won’t be the first time the organization undergoes this process.
NDP critic for Canadian Heritage, Peter Julian, made the following statement:
“Canadians are horrified by the incidents of sexual assault and by what they’re hearing from Hockey Canada. They are left with many questions about how this toxic culture is allowed to persist in our sports organizations and what the government is actually doing to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
