Madam Speaker, I would like to ask the hon. member a couple of questions.
I had the opportunity of travelling in Newfoundland and I spent some time in the schools there talking to the students as well as teachers. This is a great concern in Newfoundland, as the hon. member has said. It is so much a concern that I am troubled about the committee having a time limit of December 5. That really scares me when we are going to make a decision pertaining to a province which was guaranteed a lot of things when it joined Confederation, yet none of it has taken place.
I will say in all sincerity, that if there is one province in the country that has really been taken advantage of since Confederation it is the province of Newfoundland. When I see a time limit of December 5 being put on a committee that is going to study how education be furthered in one of our provinces, it causes me great concern. I wonder if the hon. member would address that for me.
