Member of Parliament Larry Miller responded this morning to the Hub's request for comment on retired General Rick Hillier's social media posts about absences from Monday's House of Common's vote on Canada's mission in Iraq.
Mr. Miller called from Hanoi, Vietnam where he and other MPs, including fellow Conservative Blaine Calkins, Liberal David McGuinty and New Democrat Libby Davies are representing Canada at the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
"I have every respect for General Hillier," said Mr. Miller, but expressed the opinion that every Member of Parliament would have been in the House if it were possible. "This vote would have trumped any riding event, for example," Miller said. He cited serious health issues and commitments like the Aboriginal Affairs meeting in Whitehorse as some possible legitimate reasons for an MP's absence from an important vote.
Mr. Miller will be back in Canada after Easter.

Aly Boltman made the following deputation to Owen Sound City Council March 30, 2015
"Thank you for the opportunity to speak to council this evening. I'm Aly Boltman. I have presented to council about Branningham Grove twice before, in September, 2008 and August, 2009. The council at that time consisted of Mayor Lovell, Deputy Mayor Arlene Wright as well as Councillors McManaman, Lemon, Pink, Adair, Haswell, Twaddle and Christie.
"Tonight, only councilors McManaman and Lemon and Deputy Mayor Arlene Wright remain from the council that served between 2006 and 2010.
"In your agenda package, you will see a summary from my past deputation documents outlining Branningham Grove's importance from both an architectural and cultural heritage lens. For the sake of those who may not have an adequate history of the building, I'll take a brief moment to review.
The Owen Sound Police Service wishes to advise the community of a scam targeting renters. Fraudsters are taking photos of homes from legitimate web sites and posting them on sites such as Kijiji and Craig’s List as rentals. When potential renters contact the fraudster by e-mail, requests are made for money transfers in exchange for a key. Police are recommending that renters do their research by checking the address on the internet and if possible attend the property in person. If a money transfer is requested, use caution as this is a good indicator of fraudulent activity especially if the transfer is to an out of country location.
