Can’t say I’ve seen this subject come up in the House of Commons before. From today’s Question Period …
Mr. Pat Martin (Winnipeg Centre, NDP) : Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta and the province of Quebec for putting in place emergency measures to deal with the possibility of an invasion of zombies. I do not need to tell you, Mr. Speaker, that zombies do not recognize borders and that a zombie invasion in the United States could easily turn into a continent-wide pandemic if it is not contained.
On behalf of concerned Canadians everywhere, I want to ask the Minister of Foreign Affairs, is he working with his American counterparts to develop an international zombie strategy, so that a zombie invasion does not turn into a zombie apocalypse?
Hon. John Baird (Minister of Foreign Affairs, CPC) : Mr. Speaker, I want to assure the member and all Canadians that I am dead-icated to ensuring that this never happens. I want to say categorically to this member and through him to all Canadians that under the leadership of this Prime Minister Canada will never become a safe haven for zombies, ever.
Whew. I feel much better!

Glad to know they’re doing important things up there…
Apparently both Mr. Martin and Mr. Baird are not aware that a number of Zombies already reside in Canada, most of them employed in the House of Commons.

And the Senate. Don’t forget the Senate.
No wonder Stephen Colbert dumps on Canada
