Mr. Speaker, the people of Guelph-Wellington know that leadership requires risk taking and real leaders do not back down from doing what is right. That is why they are proud of our Prime Minister, the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and the Minister of Labour.
These leaders have acted and succeeded where many others would have failed. One has worked hard to make the world aware of the impact of overfishing. The other, knowing how the country was suffering, put an end to the rail strike.
These ministers could have listened to the usual negative remarks of the Reform Party and the destructive policies of the Bloc. Instead, they took risks and did what was best for Canada, because what they did was right.
We are fortunate they are our leaders who are not afraid to act. We thank them for standing strong.
