QUESTION INTERET NATIONAL [3 records]

Record 1 2008-04-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Language (General)
  • Federalism
CONT

During the course of my mandate, I have had the opportunity to travel quite extensively across the country and I have observed that Canadians, both English and French-speaking, have a strong attachment to and identify with the City of Ottawa. More precisely, the linguistic status of the City of Ottawa and its policies is a question of national interest.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Linguistique (Généralités)
  • Fédéralisme
CONT

Au cours de mon mandat, j’ai eu l'occasion de me rendre un peu partout au pays et j’ai constaté que les Canadiens et Canadiennes d’expression française ou anglaise éprouvent un grand attachement à l'endroit de la ville d’Ottawa et s’identifient à elle. Plus précisément, j’estime que le statut linguistique de la ville d’Ottawa et les politiques de cette dernière en la matière constituent une question d’intérêt national.

Record 2 2004-11-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ecosystems
  • Animal Feed (Agric.)
CONT

Native Pasture. Native stands are the major source of pasture for Manitoba cattlemen, making up 80 per cent of the total grazing area in the province.

CONT

Today, most native pastures in the Black Soil Zone are not 'true native prairie'. The original vegetation has been altered because the land is not subjected to the same treatments it was a 100 years ago. Aspen trees, shrubs, bromegrass, and Kentucky bluegrass have encroached on the native Rough Fescue and Speargrass prairie. This has happened on land used for grazing and on land left idle for wildlife.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Écosystèmes
  • Alimentation des animaux (Agric.)
CONT

On reconnaît de plus en plus depuis quelques années la valeur des pâturages et prairies indigènes dans l'industrie animale de l'Ouest du Canada. Les millions d’acres d’herbages indigènes servant de pâturage dans les quatre provinces de l'Ouest constituent une grande ressource naturelle, dont l'utilisation est une question d’intérêt national.

CONT

Si le prix des céréales est élevé, les propriétaires terriens peuvent convertir des parcours ou des pâturages indigènes ainsi que des terres marginales à la production de céréales, diminuant l’adéquation des terres comme habitats fauniques.
