Mr. Speaker, there is no question that one of the favourite colours on this side of the House happens to be blue, but it is also a colour that happens to be a favourite of many in this nation. When it comes to understanding and relating to the colours of our country, I mentioned in my speech our Canadian flag and the fact that we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Canadian flag leading up to our celebration of the 150th anniversary and the 150th year of this country. Whether it is red, blue, or white, those colours fairly represent the direction and purpose of this country when it comes to identifying it.
