I draw the attention of hon. members to the presence in our gallery of seven of the recipients of the 1999 Governor General Performing Arts awards.
Greatly talented artists, accept our warmest congratulations.
After question period today and after tributes to our veterans, I will be hosting a reception on their behalf in Room 216-N.
Colleagues, I would like you to please hold your applause until I introduce the recipients of the Governor General's Performing Arts awards. When I call your name would you be kind enough to stand: David Cronenberg; Denise Filiatrault; Maver Moore; Louis Quilico; Ginette Reno; Sam Sniderman; and Mario Bernardi. These are our recipients for this year.
