Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to announce to the House this morning that Humber—St. Barbe—Baie Verte is about to embark on an absolutely fantastic event. Tomorrow morning in Corner Brook, Newfoundland we are going to be hosting the entire country at the Canada 1999 Winter Games.
The Prime Minister of Canada will be attending, as will many of my fellow cabinet colleagues and members from the House. It is a great event.
Planning for this particular event began several years ago when the communities of Corner Brook, Steady Brook, Stephenville, Pasadena and Deer Lake began in earnest planning for the Canada 1999 Winter Games.
The event is going to be a great celebration. Watch it. TSN and RDS are going to be providing 50 hours of live broadcast time.
Congratulations to all. I want to say thank you to the federal government for all of its support.
