Mr. Speaker, would I still be able to speak? There has been a real absence of members from the government side to address this issue. We have had no response. This has not been a debate. It has simply been a raising of issues by the Reform Party and one NDP member with regard to this issue. If government members would have something to say we would be happy to hear it. We have not even heard the minister address this issue.
In the House of Commons on February 18th, 1997. See this statement in context.
