Computer Hackers  Mr. Speaker, as the last speaker of the day, I can sum up basically the whole debate by saying that virtually everyone agrees computers are very important in our society and computer hacking is a terrible problem. It is the remedy that we need to discuss: whether section 430 of the criminal code is enough or whether the government should make additional amendments.

Bill C-15  Mr. Speaker, I am asking this question because my constituents in Yukon have an interest in the wording of Bill C-15. Canadians agree that cruelty to animals should be prohibited in society. While we must not put at risk the current legal practices of fishing and hunting, we must stop the worst cases of cruelty and abuse.

Modernization Of The Standing Orders Of The House Of Commons  Mr. Chairman, I appreciate your flexibility and I will try to make the few points that I have as quickly as possible. These comments have come up during the debate tonight. There are 301 of us in the House and we will not always get our way. In any job that any of us have had I am sure there were some frustrations.

Resource Industries  Madam Chairman, I had a 20 minute speech on the history of resource development in Yukon. I will get it in during another debate because you are very good at letting things in. I thank the minister for being here until midnight. All rural members of parliament, as well as all rural Canadians, should support his initiatives and programs.

Canada Foundation For Sustainable Development Technology Act  Mr. Speaker, I have one quick comment on one of the member's points regarding limits on the contributions to projects. The minister made it clear that the contribution agreement with the foundation would set those limits. The reason he did not want to put that in the legislation was to avoid cases where a good project that went over some arbitrary limit could not be handled.

Fisheries  Mr. Speaker, the Americans are overfishing Yukon salmon. In recent years the Yukon river salmon that reach Yukon have been diminishing drastically. Last year it was so bad that some Yukon fisheries were closed. Since the early 1980s the Canadian government has been negotiating with the United States on a management framework for Yukon river salmon.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform the House and Canadians of major environmental initiatives in the Yukon. First, the federal government and the Yukon Development Corporation have announced that they will each invest close to $525,000 over a three year period, in an energy solution centre based in Whitehorse.

Summit Of The Americas  Mr. Speaker, I was hoping to ask this question of one of the next speakers, but sometimes I have a hard time being recognized. Perhaps the member for Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca, from the Canadian Alliance, could answer the question for me. In my riding there is a constituent who believes the FTAA would impact on our sovereignty and the legal ability of governments to maintain environmental and social standards.

Summit Of The Americas  Mr. Speaker, to close this debate at 10 minutes to 4 o'clock in the morning, I would like to make one point related to loss of freedom. Loss of sovereignty has recently been mentioned by a few members. When people join a family they give up some freedom, some sovereignty. For example, they cannot choose the same holidays.

Summit Of The Americas  Mr. Speaker, I have a couple of comments. The hon. member talked about the provinces. One of the things I could never countenance in the Alliance platform is the weakening of the federation of Canada through the powers it wants to pass on to the provinces. That would make the state very ineffective.

Summit Of The Americas  Mr. Speaker, since I told the member for Burnaby—Douglas about the statement of the Minister for International Trade, three members of the New Democratic Party have brought up public education. I will repeat that last week the Minister for International Trade, stated categorically when he was talking about the GATT and FTAA positions, that public education was not at risk.

Summit Of The Americas  Mr. Speaker, I have two quick comments. First, the hon. member mentioned many times that people were not here. All people in Canada are distinct. There are distinct time lines in the west. It is only 10.45 p.m. in British Columbia and Yukon, and people are still awake. We have another Yukoner in the House, which is great.

Summit Of The Americas  Mr. Speaker, I have two points. Maybe it was the phrasing of the member's words when he was talking about the private sector doing some things the government is doing, but to me it seemed to cast aspersion on business workers. I think all workers in both business and government in Canada by and large work very hard for whoever is providing a particular service.

Summit Of The Americas  Mr. Speaker, before I ask my question, last week when we went past midnight there was a motion proposed and passed unanimously that we would let most of the pages leave. I would ask for unanimous consent that those who need to leave be allowed to do so. My question has been partly answered but I will pose it in case the hon. member would like to add anything.
