Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the Bay of Fundy Tourism Partnership for nominating the Bay of Fundy as one of the seven wonders of nature.
This international contest will recognize the most spectacular nature spots in the whole world, and the Bay of Fundy is certainly one of those.
It is the only place in the world where we can see tides go up and down 50 feet, twice a day.
It is the only place in the world where we can see islands, such as Isle Haute and Spencers Island, that have been undisturbed for thousands of years.
It is the only place in the world where we can see 12 species of whales, seals and endangered species all the time.
It is the only place in the world with great villages, with seafaring history, such as Parrsboro, Port Greville, Advocate and Spencers Island where the Mary Celeste was first launched and sailed off into history.
I ask all members to consider voting to support the Bay of Fundy as one of the seven wonders of nature at www.new7wonders.com.
