No Canadian will argue about the need for gun control. I went to the site suggested as I was not familiar with this rifle. The site Is American and as such they market firearms In quite a different way. This Beretta GX4 Storm Is not a rifle the Canadian hunter would choose. The available calibres are not suitable. The 'sex' approach Is supposed to convince American women that this rifle is a good choice. Americans, due to their history, have a frontier, siege mentality when talking about home and personal defence. Law came to the Americans after settlement whereas, In Canada the N.W.M. Police went in advance of real settlement. As a result, we Canadians have quite a different view of firearms and a different culture of use. My own experience Is mixed. I had the advantage of growing up on a farm while attending all my schooling, public school through university, In Toronto. I have over 50 years experience with firearms. My teen years were active with cadet corps rifle teams and subsequently I have been a sport pistol shooter, hunter and collector. This sides me with the minority In this country but my experience has given me a full appreciation of the Issues and problems associated with firearms. The discussion about firearms use In Canada is needed. There Is a lot of Ignorance and misinformation out there. That notwithstanding, I am disappointed that much of the antigun-talk is motivated not by fact but more by emotion, fear mongering and propaganda from the abolitionists amongst us. It was particularly disturbing to learn that the Coalition For Gun Control was receiving direct funding from the Liberal government. So much for a non-biased opinion. Mr. Martin's promise to consult with sport shooting before amending the firearms legislation was a farce, warn, perhaps the first recorded instance shovelling snow, as though it s been more q^gy they listened, and they thanked the stakeholders but they did not implement one of the recommen- of somebody winking with words. fully earned. dations.

The Canadian Firearms Centre has proven to be incompetent and a wasteful body that spent our tax dollars like a drunken sailor. They have lost our confidence and as such should go. Similarly, the present state of lawlessness is mostly a result of what the Liberal government did not do during its 12 years in power. Funding wasted on the registry program should have been given to border security and Increased police services. The result Is gang war between the biker gangs and urban gang warfare. Funding for preventative social programmes was also not forthcoming. Perhaps the reality is that we are open to occasional urban terrorism. Legislation will not stop a mad person so it Is left to us to do what is reasonable to protect Canadians. A revised gun registry and Firearms Act will contribute towards that end while at the same time respecting the rights of all Canadians, urban and OUR OPINION I Snow so soon What is this?

GENIVAR is a consulting engineering firm that specializes in studies, engineering, environmental and organizational development. meters for which the wireless broadband can take place, has been completed. In order for phase two to be completed, first towers that relay signals for the broadband need to be constructed. These links in Rapides Joachims and Sheenboro were scheduled to be completed by midsummer 2006, but were erected this week. The corporation Picanoc Connexion has purchased its WiMAX bandwidth. Schools within the Villages branché program were connected in early August. Ledoux said the third phase of implementing the wireless technology would be the simplest. The contract agreed upon by the MRC and GENIVAR is to dedicate about 25 hours a month for three months, at a rate of $105 an hour plus travel expenses. About $10,000 was taken out of the county’s Rural Pact fund to cover these costs. The CLD is also currently applying for government grants to cover the costs of construction so that the MRC and municipalities won’t have to rely as heavily on their own resources. The grants are part of a MRC resource fund, controlled by the Quebec Ministry of Economical Development, Innovation and Exportation. Application for the grants has begun. No new timetable for the LEAH MILLER Equity Editor CAMPBELL’S BAY • The Pontiac MRC’s former local development centre (CLD) director-general, Jean-Pierre Ledoux, is back working on the county's broadband internet project. At the Pontiac MRC’s council of mayors meeting Sept. 25, it was decided that Ledoux would be hired by contract through his new firm GENIVAR, based in Gatineau, to complete the project for the county. “With Jean-Pierre’s departure (in June after 18 years at the CLD), we lost the leadership on the file," explained interim director-general Nancy York to mayors on why they proposed the motion. "GENIVAR proposed to provide us interim leadership." York also explained that without a director-general working at the CLD since June, the case load has not allowed the remaining employees enough manpower to work on the file. The projected completion of installation of public wireless broadband had been originally set for August. “The fibreoptics are run-^(¦¦late," explained Ledoux. “The construction has been completed but there has been a delay with the suppliers."

Le président de la Table de développement social de la Vallée de la Gatineau, Pierre Rondeau, était aussi présent, tout comme des représentants des partenaires du milieu : Yvon Gauthier (CLE), Marc Dupuis (CLD), Sophie Beaudoin (CJE). La directrice générale de la CSHBO, Marlène Thonnard, était également présente, ainsi que plusieurs cadres de la CSHBO. Presque tous les treize étudiants étalent présents à la cérémonie : Eldja Eisa Boumaour, Amélie Brien, Line Éthier. Ginette Danis, Esther Dufour, Mélissa Lafrenière, Michelle Lapointe, Pauline Nadon, Kathleen Rail, Jean-François Vinet, Francis Therrien, François Pilon et Normand Davlault. « Suivre une telle formation, ça demande beaucoup d’engagement personnel. C’est un effort que vous avez consenti pendant plusieurs années et Je vous en félicite », de dire M. Dubé lors de la remise des parchemins. Il a ajouté que cette formation offerte à Maniwaki, témoigne de la volonté de l’UQO de prendre toute sa place en région. « Il y a quelques années, nous avons adopté le nom : Université du Québec en Outaouais. Cela souligne notre désir d'assurer une plus grande présence sur tout le territoire de l’Outaouals et la Vallée de la Gatineau est certainement un endroit où nous sentons la nécessité d’être plus présents », de dire M. Dubé. La plupart des étudiantes et étudiants poursuivent une troisième étape de formation, représentant 12 crédits Certains cours pourraient être offerts conjointement avec un groupe du Pontiac qui est en train de se constituer. Les activités feront usage des équipements modernes de vidéo-conférence afin de réunir l’ensemble des participants. MANIWAKI • Le mardi 26 septembre dernier, à Maniwaki, l’Université du Québec en Outaouais a remis des parchemins soulignant la réussite de ses étudiantes et de ses étudiants ayant complété 30 crédits dans le cadre d'une formation à la suppléance en enseignement. Fruit d'une étroite collaboration entre l’UQO et la Commission scolaire des Hauts-Bols-de l’Outaouais, cette formation, dont les premiers cours ont été offerts en 2003, a pour but d’offrir une préparation à des personnes qui sont appelées à agir comme suppléantes et suppléants. Selon le vice-recteur à l’enseignement et à la recherche de l’UQO. Denis Dubé, « cette formation ne débouche pas nécessairement sur un diplôme officiel ni sur une autorisation légale d'enseigner (les programmes de formation à l'enseignement comporte en effet 120 crédits), mais elle permet néanmoins de donner des outils aux étudiantes et aux étudiants et d'augmenter ainsi leur employabilité comme suppléantes et suppléants. Il s’agit d’une approche qui a été retenue afin de faire face au mieux à la pénurie de ressources enseignantes qui sévit dans la Vallée de la Gatineau.» La formation a été donnée en deux étapes comportant chacune 15 crédits. Les étudiantes et les étudiants, dont la plupart travaillent, ont suivi la formation à temps partiel. « Pour nous, cela a demandé un total de 32 fins de semaine, pendant presque trois ans », de dire l’un d’entre eux. C’était donc le sourire aux lèvres qu’ils participaient à la remise des parchemins, lundi dernier, en présence du vice-recteur, Denis Dubé, du doyen des études, Jean-Marie Bergeron, de la directrice du Module de l’éducation, Christiane Benoît et du chargé de cours, Hubert Fermeture LE MERCREDI 1ER NOVEMBRE 2006, de 9h30 à 1 3h00 Le service reprendra aussitôt que les nouveaux équipements seront installés et fonctionnels.
