Mr. Speaker, first of all I want to add my words to those of the Leader of the Opposition. I spoke about David Vienneau earlier. This is a small town that we all live in here on the Hill. David Vienneau was one of those people who was able to transcend all sides. I certainly would like to add my voice to that of the Leader of the Opposition and I am sure all other members of the House.
We had a wide-ranging discussion with the President and with the members of his administration who were here. There were no surprises. The fact is that the United States government has not provided us with a specific proposal, but we certainly did discuss the issue.
