International Water Day  [Translation] In Creating Opportunity , we stated clearly that the environmental agenda can no longer be ignored and that government needs to recognize the fundamental link between a healthy economy and a healthy environment. We said that all government departments need to adopt economic and environmental principles that converge, integrate, are accountable and show leadership.

Court Of Queen's Bench In Saskatchewan  Speaker, in response to the question I can assure the hon. member I am very much aware of the fact that the one member of that court who is able to hear proceedings in the French language is no longer sitting and that the need continues. I have reviewed the situation in terms of the applicants who have been approved by the provincial advisory committees. I can tell the hon. member I have the matter under active advisement.

Collège Militaire Royal De Saint-Jean  Mr. Speaker, what the Prime Minister does not realize is that it did not take longer than five minutes to see through the government and its charade. Since, by his own admission, the Prime Minister cannot provide us with a satisfactory answer-and neither can his Minister of Defence who has been "shut out" of this matter-since he admits not having commissioned a study on the costs of maintaining both colleges with a smaller student population, how can he seriously talk about saving $23 million?

Collège Militaire Royal De Saint-Jean  They are giving the impression that officers who attended Laval University, the University of Sherbrooke, the University of Montreal, the University of Quebec in Chicoutimi or the University of Quebec in Trois-Rivières instead of the college in Saint-Jean are not as good because they did not go to a military college. With our smaller armed forces, the military college is no longer necessary. The Leader of the Opposition told us we should cut defence spending by 25 per cent. If we had followed his advice in Quebec, we would have closed not only the military college in Saint-Jean but also the military base in Bagotville and probably other bases in Quebec.

Collège Militaire Royal De Saint-Jean  Speaker, I have discussed this matter with the Premier of Quebec who told me that he could make use of the facilities at Saint-Jean. The federal government no longer needs them because the strength of our military work force is being reduced to 65,000. One can easily understand why the United States, with two million soldiers, has three military colleges.

Canadian Foreign Policy  The Reform Party of Canada, as members know, has called for a reduction in foreign aid funding simply because Canada no longer has the money to spend like it once did. Reformers are concerned about the poor but they are unwilling to ignore the larger context of our ability to pay and they are unwilling to overlook the reforms that CIDA so urgently needs.

Overfishing On The High Seas  He indicated that he would not sign another statement of principle since, in his opinion, the Law of the Sea Convention was no longer working. My question is for the Prime Minister. Can he indicate to us what kind of concrete measures his minister had in mind to end foreign overfishing if an international agreement is not signed by the fall?

Revenue Canada  I do hope that corrective measures will be taken as soon as possible so that our fellow Canadians do not have to put up with such a frustrating situation any longer.

Canadian Foreign Policy  Many hon. members may not be aware that African countries comprise 30 per cent of the United Nations membership, 27 per cent of the Commonwealth and 52 per cent of the countries in la Francophonie. The linguistic, cultural and historical ties between our nations have existed far longer than our relationships through aid programs. Canada's bilingual and multicultural nature has been an important factor in building those long term relationships. That is the foundation upon which we can take the opportunity to build a long fruitful partnership well into the future.

Canadian Foreign Policy  Cost must always be uppermost. Overexpenditures and waste will not be tolerated by the public any longer. We also have to ask if privatization is feasible. Another speaker will discuss this further. We must get more for less from this department. Two of my colleagues will be discussing the area of peacekeeping further.

Supply  If we can afford these programs we should provide them for Canadians. At a time when we can no longer afford them we have to cut back on programs provided for Canadians.

Supply  I hasten to point out that the government deserves congratulations in a few of the measures it has taken. Apparently it is no longer politically incorrect as it was during the election to suggest that social programs need not be universal. The reduction of UI benefits for some, the targeting of benefits for others and the subsequent removal of January's UI premium hike are all welcome moves.

Via Rail  Speaker, there is no question that no one takes any pleasure, especially as an Atlantic Canadian, in seeing further reductions in the services of VIA Rail. No longer is there any service of any kind in the railroad sector in Newfoundland. There is no railroad activity in Prince Edward Island. Other parts of the country are deeply affected by the need to rationalize transportation services.

Government Spending  Speaker, since the election of the Liberal government, we have kept hearing in this House and in committees that Quebecers and Canadians must tighten their belts, that governments can no longer provide families and seniors with the social security to which they are entitled. In spite of all that, how can one explain that, since the start of the year, a worthy representative of Her Majesty used the Challenger jet twice for vacation trips to the South?

Customs Tariff  Of course, the answer is crystal clear and self-explanatory: Singapore and South Korea are no longer developing countries, but newly industrialized countries. I would have two short questions for the minister concerning what he told us earlier. Does the government intend to reassess the general preferential tariffs allowed to newly industrialized countries such as Singapore or South Korea?
