[Motions for Papers, February 5th, 2003]

Mr. Speaker, perhaps I could read the answer. It states that the National Energy Board has no documents relating to the ratification of the Kyoto protocol that sets out the benefits, how the targets ought to be reached and its costs to their department.

Normally I would be asking the member to withdraw his motion, instead I would ask that this Motion for the Production of Papers be transferred for debate.

Mr. Speaker, I would ask you to be so kind as to call Notice of Motion for the Production of Papers No. P-24 in the name of the hon. member for Athabasca.

That an Order of the House do issue for copies of all documentation, including reports, minutes of meeting, notes, e-mails, advertising, memos and correspondence since January 2002 within the National Energy board that relates to the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol that sets out the benefits, how the targets are to be reached and its cost to the Board.

[Question No. 85, February 5th, 2003]

[Musgrave Harbour, February 5th, 2003]

Mr. Speaker, I am saddened today to ask the House to join me in extending our condolences to the friends and families of the five hunters who lost their lives this week in Musgrave Harbour, Newfoundland.

Five men, including a father and his two sons, died while duck hunting near Wadman Island on Monday. There was only one survivor.

Every resident of Musgrave Harbour, and indeed every Canadian, has been touched by this terrible accident. These five men will certainly be remembered fondly by all those who knew them.

I am sure that all members of the House will join me in extending our deepest sympathies to the community of Musgrave Harbour and to those who lost loved ones in this devastating tragedy.

[Question No. 77, February 4th, 2003]

I ask, Mr. Speaker, that the remaining questions be allowed to stand.

[Questions Passed as Orders for Returns, February 4th, 2003]

Mr. Speaker, if Questions Nos. 68, 69, 70, 71 and 77 could be made orders for returns, these returns would be tabled immediately.
