Thank you, Madam Speaker. I wish to table the following document, Tabled Document 33-12(5), from page 857 from the unedited Hansard, the Member's statement that was made by Mr. Dent criticizing me for my absence from this House during this past week.

Madam Speaker, I also have, from the unedited Hansard, pages 364, 365 and 366, a Minister's statement that I made on Wednesday, February 16, advising the House of the national meeting on income security reform. I ask Members to note specifically page 365, paragraph three, regarding the schedule of meetings. Madam Speaker, it indicates, "Further, a series of ministerial meetings have been scheduled. The first will be a meeting of education and labour market Ministers held at the end of February to explore the school to work transition, to discuss the national apprenticeship program and to consider additional training initiatives for our workforce." Madam Speaker, I just wanted to note that I do not want to make it difficult for this House, but I had already advised the honourable Members.
