Mr. Speaker, last Wednesday we held the annual pages versus MPs hockey game. On this occasion the MPs won back the Challenge trophy which they had lost to the pages in 1993. Some Reform members suggested this was due to the fact that there were no longer any Conservatives with the team.
The game was notable in that this was a rare occasion when Liberals and Reformers co-operated in a winning effort. I must say it was also notable for the good spirit between the pages and the members.
The pages are to be congratulated for their great effort and for their accomplishments at gender balance. Several women played for the pages while none played for the MPs, although invited to do so.
Our thanks go to the members from Kindersley, Prince George, Macleod, Nickel Belt, Prince Albert, Halifax West and Algoma who all played an active role in the victory.
