Industry committee I would like to talk about Bill C-25. I know the Honourable Navdeep Bains will have another opportunity on Thursday to speak to that. In that context, the bill does identify a name and comply approach. Similarly, with respect to the CRC program, we're proposing that all institutions with five or more chairs—these are specifically the medium and large universities—must table a plan.

Procedure and House Affairs committee This was prior to some of these debates we've had about the Lefebvre and McGrath committees. There was an MP by the name of John Reid, who was the MP for Kenora—Rainy River. He delivered a speech at the University of Victoria to a national conference on the legislative process. It was reprinted in the Canadian Parliamentary Review, volume 1, number 1, June 1978.

Operation UNIFIER Madam Chair, it is my privilege to stand to speak to this take-note debate. First, I want to speak about the Edmonton Ukrainian Canadian community and how stalwart it has been across the country in standing up and giving support to their families overseas. It is absolutely incredible and it keeps pressure on us, getting us to speak out.

Business of Supply Then we made sure that no stakeholders knowingly were there. We were very careful. However, when that slipped, John Duncan, the former minister to whom the member referred, immediately stepped down and took responsibility. We are looking for accountability, something where the Liberals will say that they are doing the wrong thing and that they are going to reverse course.

Wendell Fulton Wendell's dedication to community, and the advice and counsel he shared with so many will be dearly missed. We extend our thoughts to Pamela, Duncan, Hannah, and his entire family.

Official Languages committee Our official languages are a strength, and I hope that all Canadians, whether they are francophones in Quebec or Anglophones elsewhere in Canada, whether they are Acadians, Fransaskois, Metis or people from other linguistic groups, will take an interest in our official languages. Together, I would like us to encourage all Canadians to become agents of change, citizens engaged in our great social contract, at the heart of which the two official languages are reflected.

Environment committee Everybody is running around trying to do a lot of things. Wayne Stetski is standing in for Linda Duncan on this particular study. You've been with us the whole way through, so you are not really a stand-in, but we want to recognize that. Welcome to all. We have three witnesses with us today.

The Chair (Mrs. Deborah Schulte (King—Vaughan, Lib.))Liberal
Electoral Reform committee However, when so many thousands of Canadians lost their lives and we sent them off without a referendum, I think we have to think about that. The second thing I'd like to do is to comment on the Honourable John Duncan's point of view that we should have—I'm searching here for words. I'm sorry. We really need to have a situation where the member of Parliament is the one who is doing all of that work to represent their constituents.
