Mr. Speaker, it appears that may happen. I do not know if it is a political game to show everyone what they have done but the reality is that announcements of that nature should be done in the House when we are sitting. All members of Parliament from all sides of the House representing military families and veterans widows should be able to share in the immediate information that is required.
To announce something outside and wait for Parliament to rise, or to do something of that nature, would be cheap political theatre. I think that would be beneath the current minister from my understanding of the qualities that he displays.
I hope the hon. member for Vancouver Island North is incorrect. I suspect he may be, but I hope he is incorrect and that the announcement will be made very soon right here in the House when we are sitting.
