Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
On Friday the minister said the decision to offer space for the Canadian Vietnam veterans memorial in the capital region is to be taken by the National Capital Commission.
However, we have been told by the NCC that if the minister or cabinet so instructs, the NCC will give permission for such a memorial.
This government has the authority to make this decision if it so desires. Will the minister take action now to ensure that the NCC will make available a site for the Canadian Vietnam veterans memorial?
