Mr. Speaker, the House salutes the efforts of British Prime Minister Tony Blair to produce a peaceful ending to Ireland's historical conflicts in bringing together the main contending parties for the discussion of possible new institutions and processes for living together in goodwill and harmony.
Any advice or practical help that Canadians may be able to offer with our own historical experience as a plural society characterized by peaceful coexistence and active co-operation among different cultural communities should be accorded to the Irish communities concerned in the current talks.
