[Order Of Canada, May 31st, 2001]

Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I bring the name of Mr. Jake Lamoureux of Cornwall to the attention of the House.

In this the international year of the volunteer, Mr. Lamoureux personifies the very word volunteer.

Over his lifetime he has served as president of six different organizations, has chaired 10 different events and served on fundraising committees for 11 different organizations.

Big Brothers and Big Sisters, the United Way, the Children's Aid Society, the Canadian Cancer Society, the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce, Hotel Dieu Hospital Board Foundation, the Children's Treatment Centre and Medic Alert Foundation are some of the organizations that have benefited from the efforts of Jake Lamoureux.

Today he was honoured by being received into the Order of Canada as a member for his volunteer efforts.

For Mr. Lamoureux this award is not only for himself but it is recognition of the support he has received for his years of dedication to volunteerism, support from his family members, such as his sister the late Lorraine Robertson, his good friends, such as Angelo Towndale, and the community.

I offer Mr. Lamoureux my personal congratulations and that of the community for being received into the Order of Canada.

[Employment Insurance Act, October 19th, 2000]

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. If I could just have the indulgence of the Chamber to go back to the point of order raised by my friend and colleague from Winnipeg—Transcona, because it is through our office and the government whip's office that we co-ordinate committee work, attendance, and so on.

I have just had the benefit of speaking to some of my staff, and we in fact had people who were going to the meeting. My understanding is that regrettably there was a change in the location of the meeting, and while they were in transit or getting from one place to another, the meeting was adjourned. I can understand that, but believe me there was no intention on the part of the government members to avoid attending that meeting. It is regrettable that it did happen, but there was certainly no intention at any time to avoid that meeting.

[Business Of The House, October 19th, 2000]

Mr. Speaker, I am at a loss for words. I will certainly look into the matter. If what the member for Winnipeg—Transcona has reported has occurred, and I am sure it is accurately reported, it is totally unacceptable. This is something I would hope would never happen. I regret if it did happen, and certainly I will give it my utmost attention.
