Mr. Speaker, after being in office for over two and a half years, our government succeeded in having five members elected in the six byelections held yesterday.
Voters in Humber-Sainte-Barbe-Baie Verte will be well represented by Gerry Byrne. So will those in Labrador, by Lawrence O'Brien; those in Etobicoke North, by Roy Cullen; those in Papineau-Saint-Michel, by the Hon. Pierre Pettigrew; and those in Saint-Laurent-Cartierville, by the Hon. Stéphane Dion.
Since 1993, our party has won four of the five byelections held in Quebec, and eight of the nine held across the country. This is Stanley Cup material.
Canadians, in Quebec and elsewhere in the country, have once again renewed their confidence in our government and our Prime Minister.
