Mr. Speaker, just a few minutes ago my colleague, the member for Lac-Saint-Louis, indicated that most speakers on this topic were from Manitoba. I find it refreshing to have a speaker from Quebec and now from B.C. getting involved in this discussion.
It was interesting that today the member for Newton—North Delta insisted in speaking on this topic. I know the Lake Winnipeg basin reaches the Rockies. Why was he so interested in speaking on this topic, because I thought his speech was excellent.
