Mining Exploration  I believe it does. It remains for the federal government to provide a regulatory regime for industry that clears the way for industry to go ahead with sustainable development. I will clarify what I mean by sustainable development. Development means we want to develop our natural resources. It does not mean preservation; it means sustainable development.

Oceans Act  The government is well aware that if Canada is to once again be a world leader in the oceans it will require that the oceans act establish a clear federal lead for the implementation of the oceans management strategy. That is the goal of the government and the legislation. It is to ensure there is a place under the federal leadership of the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans in close co-operation with other federal and provincial ministers and stakeholders, mechanisms to manage all of Canada's ocean resources.

The Environment  Action 21 is a perfect example of what Quebecers, sovereignists as well as federalists, have been fighting against for decades. The environment minister seems to have trouble understanding that. And yet, it is rather clear: Quebec no longer wants to see the federal government clumsily step in and negate its efforts. Many provinces share the same feeling. The only purpose of Action 21 is for the federal government to use its spending power in areas of provincial jurisdiction.

Yugoslavia  Canada's peacekeepers have always been faithful in their duty and they are right now. Along with other Canadians, they deserve a clear indication of the mandate and deserve a better answer from the government than the Prime Minister gave yesterday or what I heard just now. When does our mandate expire, and why has the government not consulted Parliament about its extension?

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, when reading these studies the hon. member should read them all. It is very clear that as a major exporting country we are affected by the declines in the economies of Japan and the United States. That is obviously going to affect us.

Government Subsidies  On the other hand, in a letter written to the minister he asked us to support a project that deals with Youth Service Canada, a project that he said was intervening in provincial jurisdiction. It is clear that we have a confused bunch on the other side.

Quebec Referendum  Another word, another change, another pirouette. Why not have the courage to say that you are separatists and we shall see clear results on October 30.

Community Of Russell  Within the same community another group is working to develop a ski hill. The belief the community has in itself and in its future is clear. I am pleased to be working with both these groups to help them achieve their goals. I commend the people of Russell and area for the leadership role they are playing in diversifying their local economy and their enduring commitment to their community.

Oceans Act  Speaker, I have been sitting here listening to the complaints of the hon. member of the Bloc, the official opposition. There are two points I should like to clear up before I deliver my speech. It is sad for me to see in the House that both the Bloc and the third party are seeking an alliance and to see the Reform Party trying to ask for friendship from the separatists.

Oceans Act  There are undoubtedly bound to be some problems in the future with our circumpolar and Pacific and Atlantic friends and neighbours. What the act will do is put in place a clear definition of jurisdiction that is fully supported by global agreement. The world recognizes Canada's jurisdiction over Canadian waters and now we must continue to work hard. With ownership comes both opportunity and responsibility.

Immigration  Speaker, as I was saying, I think that put the matter to rest. Pursuant to the Hathaway report, we have made it very clear to our case presenting officers that they have a duty to aggressively, regularly and consistently produce information to those applicants that would suggest that they either have a criminal background from the country they came or in Canada itself.

Oceans Act  Policy coming from Ottawa is less likely to be suited to local circumstances, let alone be endorsed by the community. In fact, it has become increasingly clear that efficiency in terms of the environment is dependent upon a sense of ownership at the local level. For real progress to be made the people must be concerned about their rivers and marshes, their environment.

Oceans Act  Last November the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans released a document setting out the potential elements of an oceans management vision for Canada. The government sought the advice of all Canadians and the message was loud and clear: the federal government has a leadership role to play in oceans policy. Federally, ocean related responsibility has been fragmented and there is a need for focus in order to meet the needs of all Canadians.

Immigration Act  The effect will not have an increase in the amount of deportations. It will not have an effect of clearing the system of appeals and bogus refugee claims. It will not significantly increase the onus on the refugees to prove that they have clean histories before being allowed into Canada.

Immigration Act  It is our duty as their elected representatives to ensure the bill does not get buried in committee. We must send a clear message to other criminals who believe they are living in a land where there are relatively light consequences for breaking the law. If we have the political will we can overcome any road blocks.
