Thank you, Madam Speaker. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all you Irish out there. Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Science Institute for handing out to us the other day, March 14, this nice tape and songbook put together by the Science Institute in conjunction with a well-known Yellowknifer, Jamie Bastedo, Science and Song.

I'm not doing a plug for the Minister, but with his concurrence I listened to part of the tape and looked at the words in the book, and it is quite entertaining. It deals with a number of northern subjects that we're all familiar with, but put into a language that you can understand.

In addition, Madam Speaker, Mr. Bastedo is well-known to the radio listeners. He has a program on CBC which he does on a weekly basis. He deals with a number of fairly complicated science issues, ecosystems in the territories, from a different perspective. He's easy to listen to and very informative. He does them live from on the rocks outside of the city, in the swamps, in the bushes and on the land. He has a unique way of putting things into a very listenable perspective. He's done everything from sandpits to swamps, he even talks about how mosquitoes come to be, and makes you not want to swat the little critters but give them a hug after he's finished.

In seriousness, Madam Speaker, this is an interesting way of putting science to the public in a way that is entertaining. I would encourage the Members not only to listen to the tape, but to pass it on to -- if they don't have children themselves -- families with children. It's quite entertaining. Thank you very much.
