Dr. Ransom Myers (Chair of Ocean Studies, Dalhousie University): Yes, I can hear you.

The assessment of the long-term availability of global and Union resources, including access to urban mines (landfills and mining waste), coastal-sea and deep-sea resources (e.g. the sea-bed mining of rare earth minerals), and the associated uncertainties will be improved.

(Return tabled) Question No. 864 Ms. Kirsty Duncan: With respect to mental health and suicide in the Canadian Forces (CF), including regular forces, reservists and veterans, as well as among Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) veterans: (a) what does history and research show from the First World War (WWI) and the Second World War (WWII), regarding the percentage of Canadian veterans who suffered some degree of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and how it might have impacted their ability to (i) hold down jobs, (ii) maintain relationships, (iii) overcome substance abuse, (iv) maintain their will to live; (b) how are suicides tracked for CF regular forces, reservists and veterans, including RCMP veterans, (i) has the tracking method ch ...[+++]anged over time (from 2000 onwards) for any of these groups, including name changes (e.g., suicide versus sudden death) and, if so, how, why and when, (ii) how are suicides tracked among veterans who may not be known to Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) and who may be under other types of care (e.g., in hospitals) or in homeless shelters, prisons, etc.; (c) what are the identified gaps in tracking for each of the identified groups and, for each gap, what action items (i) are planned (including predicted start and completion dates, and necessary funding), (ii) are being implemented (including predicted completion date and necessary funding), (iii) have been completed to address the problem; (d) how are suicides investigated for each identified group today and, for each group, for the years 1990 to the present (or years available), (i) what percentage of victims were known to either the Department of National Defense (DND) or VAC prior to the suicide, or to the medical, social-aid or prison system, (ii) what percentage had attempted suicide before, (iii) what percentage suffered from an identified Operational Stress Injury (OSI), including PTSD, anxiety, depression or substance abuse, (iv) what percentage suffered from acquired brain ...

A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was validated under the coordination of the European Union Reference Laboratory on marine biotoxins (EU-RL) in an inter-laboratory validation study carried out by the Member States.

Recently developed alternatives to the biological methods for the determination of the marine biotoxins with lower limits of detection (LOD) have successfully been tested in prevalidation studies.

The European Community runs various activities in the different sectors concerned as part of its numerous research cooperation programmes: Brite/Euram (industrial and material technologies); Mast (marine sciences and technology); and research programmes in the fields of the environment, fisheries and energy, etc. 1 The press file for the conference can be had from office BREY 6/41. - 2 - The conference will provide an opportunity for taking stock of the state of progress and initial results of a number of projects currently under way: projects to develop composite materials for offshore platforms and to apply computer assisted design m ...[+++]ethods to shipbuilding (Brite/Euram programme); projects to study the natural variability of and changes in benthic ecosystems (fauna and flora connected with the seabed) (Mast programme); "Eros 2000" project to study pollution at river mouths; study of eutrophication (pollution due to algae) of coastal waters (Environment programme); development of systems to optimize shipping routes (pilot projects in the field of energy); activities of the Joint Research Centre on the study of the sea by remote sensing, etc.
