Madam Speaker, I appreciate the offer of support by the member from Newfoundland and Labrador and to take the opportunity to say that at least Nova Scotia members, at least those on the NDP benches, and I hope all other parties, are very proud that last week the Nova Scotia house of assembly unanimously passed a motion in support of the position we are advocating on the floor today. It was an all-party support.
In Newfoundland today a private member's motion will be introduced to the same effect. I hope the member and others will encourage their provincial counterparts in the Newfoundland and Labrador assembly to give the same kind of unanimous support that was given in Nova Scotia last week and that we are seeking today from members of the House of Commons on all sides.
