Member For Jonquière June 11th, 1996
It is when the going gets tough that the tough get going. This is how we recognize men and women of courage. I would like to acknowledge here the remarkable determination of our colleague from Jonquière and, on behalf of my colleagues from the official opposition, and of all the other members of this House, I am sure, wish him all the best upon his return to the Hill.

Aids June 10th, 1996
Mr. Speaker, I do not think the Medical Research Council can be all wrong.
Does the minister not find this situation disgraceful, and what does he intend to do to correct it, knowing that Canada ranks third among G-7 countries for the rate of HIV infection, but that it comes in dead last in HIV research?
Aids June 10th, 1996
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
At the llth international AIDS conference in Vancouver, next July 7 to 12, over 5,000 scientific papers will be presented. For the international scientific community, advances in knowledge and research are holding out hope that AIDS can be transformed from a fatal illness into one that is chronic. But the state of research in Canada is looking quite a bit bleaker.
Can the Prime minister confirm the allegations of the Medical Research Council of Canada to the effect that there is now no longer a cent available for basic AIDS research in Canada?

The Family May 17th, 1996
Mr. Speaker, this week Quebec celebrates the family. This year the emphasis is on young families. In order to accomplish the delicate and important task they are faced with daily, they need support.
Quebec society has gone through gradual changes to become the modern society we know now. Today, the family has many faces, but behind each face are the same needs, and the same requirements, since each member of the family unit has to deal with his or her own needs and reality.
I invite all the members of this House to think about how to collectively provide our young families with the support they need to improve the society they live in.
