Statements in the House

Nuclear Amendment Act, 1998 December 15th, 1999

moved for leave to introduce Bill C-403, an act to amend the Nuclear Energy Act and the Nuclear Safety and Control Act.

Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to reintroduce my private member's bill to essentially split responsibility for Atomic Energy of Canada Limited and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.

It is quite clear to me, and I think to most Canadians, that having both these agencies report and be responsible to the same minister puts that minister in a clear conflict. Splitting that responsibility would serve Canadians much better.

The Late Victor Quelch December 15th, 1999

Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to make amends to an oversight from many years gone by.

Mr. Victor Quelch was a member of parliament from 1935 to 1958. In those 23 years he served as Social Credit member for the constituency of Acadia in southern Alberta. He was a very well regarded member of this House and served many roles, including chief critic for finance, agriculture and fisheries. In 1950 he was appointed by Prime Minister St. Laurent to serve as an adviser on the Canadian staff to the United Nations Assembly.

Before entering politics Mr. Quelch served in World War I and received the Military Cross for bravery.

A sense of duty to his country and its citizens guided Mr. Quelch's entire life, yet when he passed away in 1975 a tribute was never held in his honour in this House.

Although it is long overdue, I would like to acknowledge the service and dedication of Mr. Quelch. His contributions to Canada may be long past but they are certainly not forgotten.
