Done. Labor pushing the government to take action after three more tragic deaths. More than 60 have occurred in terms of deaths of women and children already this year. The leader of the opposition. My questions to the Prime Minister. In the past week, australians have looked on in horror as three women have been killed at the hands of someone they knew, allegedly, highlighting the need for urgent and meaningful action on Family Violence. Will the Prime Minister declare that Family Violence is a National Crisis . And will the Prime Minister join with me and commit to a Family Violence package, including Frontline Legal Services to be funded to ensure women suffering from Family Violence get the right Legal Support and programs to keep women safe at home and to help identify opportunities to prevent violence by mapping perpetrator activities . I call the Prime Minister. Well, mr. Speaker, i do thank the leader of the opposition for his question and i respect the passion and the commitme
Beginning to be better and better known. When my folks first purchased the ranch in the late 50s, they didnt know it at the time, but it was they saw quite a change in the ag industry happening just in our Little Valley here. It hasnt always been the quote unquote wine country. We have a wonderful storied agriculture history here in the valley and in sonoma valley. We visit the jack london state historic park, home to london, author of the call of the wild and white fang. Were on jack londons beauty ranch, known as the ranch of good intentions. This is where jack london lived until his death in 1916. Jack london probably would have been writing long hand when people came upon him in his office. He was very productive here. In fact, twothirds of his writing was published after he moved here. Books like white fang was p h published a year after he bought his ranch property. Valley of the moon was published while he was living here. He claimed that he worked two hours a day writing, becau
Regarding the Security Checks. We will not cut corners. The Security Check requirements were developed in the inner agency with the consultation and expertise of the fbi, our dhs partners, and the Intelligence Community partners and the security regime was set up with all that input. And i have heard no discussion of making any cuts to it for any reason. I would like to point out that the grant grants of Refugee Status are discretionary so that if there is a doubt, the case is referred for further review and if theres a National Security concern, that individuals application is denied. As the refugee situation continues to evolve, the administration is assessing its capacity and resource needs for fiscal year 2016 within an increased number of refugees it will be important to preserve currently available resources and fund this at a sufficient level. Mr. Chair, if i may just one question related to accountability. Mr. Bartlett, i understand that youre working with the decisions that ha
Done. If i could just maybe correct a couple facts here. First of all, none of our nato allies, not all of them are involved in the coalition, but none are opposed to it. They are all supportive of our mission against the Islamic State. The United Nations is not opposed. In fact, this intervention is happening at invitation of the government of iraq under international law. In terms of refugees, canadas response has been generous and responsible. Weve admitted so far 15 of all the world refugees from the region. In terms of our response to this recent crisis, even before it was in the headlines, i announced our intention to accept additional refugees. I have since announced a number of changes to our system to expedite that number, and were doing so while at the same time making sure that we choose the refugees, that we choose those who are genuine refugees, the most vulnerable people, and also maintain all standards of security and other screening. This is a generous and responsible a
And russias involvement. This is 20 minutes. [ speaking in a Foreign Language ] translator president of the 70th session of the General Assembly, i would like to congratulate you on your election as president of the General Assembly at its current session. And wish you success in leading the work of this session. I would also like to thank your predecessor for his presidency of the previous session. Ladies and gentlemen, i greet you from this Great International edifice that was originally established with all its agencies in order for peace and security to prevail in the world. I greet you as i come from a country where security has been disrupted and peace has departed. A country that lives a fierce war for more than four years. I greet you from a land baptized by the blood of its people who fight terrorism and defend their fellow citizens against terrorism. While waiting for this International Organization to fulfill its promises and implement its resolutions related to combatting t
