Mr. Chair, let me say that this question refers to recognizing what happened during the movement of people during a time of crisis 50 years ago, as the outflow of the Hungarian Revolution. It really was the golden age for citizenship and immigration, which not only meant that on a per capita basis Canada took in more Hungarians, by far, than any other country, but it also changed the policy of dealing with refugees in those kinds of situations.
I came here as a refugee.
That had an impact on Mr. Jaffer, on the other side, who is the other refugee I know of in the House, because it applied to dealing with Ugandans, it applied to dealing with the Czechs, people from Indochina, and people from the former Yugoslavia.
Essentially, what this does is it recognizes what took place during the revolution and the events that caused 37,000 Hungarians to locate in Canada.
So I would give notice on this, unless I could get unanimous consent to move it. Then I hope, Mr. Chair, we can get it tabled in the House and ask for concurrence.
A similar resolution has gone through the United States Congress, and I think it would be meaningful to members of Hungarian Canadian community, but I think it would be meaningful to all Canadians, because it represents such a significant step that we took in the life of this nation.
