Concerning Mr. Sweet's case, this will be the fourth time I've done this, representing not just the government but also the committee. At the Boston Seafood Show, when there was an all-party committee there, the fishing producers and the fishermen loved it.
When we were over in Holland a year back, being an all-party committee, the veterans and the families absolutely loved the fact that all parties were represented.
When Brent St. Denis, Monte Solberg, and I were in Bosnia together, we weren't politicians. We were people representing the government and the country, and it worked out extremely well.
You're always going to get somebody who will say that you're on a jaunt and you're not really caring. We can't avoid those arguments. But I can assure you that the lasting impression of watching veterans and their families and these kids who will be there, seeing parliamentarians of all parties unanimous in their support of the event, goes a long, long way.
