Mr. Speaker, to suggest that the hon. Minister of Labour's presence, her work and her past dedication which has been demonstrated on countless times because of what she did so successfully in the past, is an empty gesture is totally unbecoming of the member across the way. He should know very well that the minister has devoted herself, heart and soul, to this cause in the past. She continues with that same kind of enthusiasm in this House, in cabinet and throughout her entire career.
In the House of Commons on May 7th, 1999. See this statement in context.
