Committee Motion 61-12(7): To Amend Clause 2 Of Bill 32, Defeated  Mr. Chairman, there has been a lot of work done on this bill by the committee and by counsel for the Department of Justice, and I think we have a good bill that is acceptable.

Committee Motion 59-12(7): To Amend Clause 2 Of Bill 32, Defeated  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think I am in a similar quandary to that just expressed by Mr. Ballantyne.

Question 583-12(7): Progress On Establishment Of Trades Training For Nunavut  My question, Mr. Speaker, was about trades training in Nunavut, not lqaluit. I don't like the way the Minister has twisted my words.

Question 583-12(7): Progress On Establishment Of Trades Training For Nunavut  Mr. Speaker, I am not particularly amused at the way the Minister has put words in my mouth with his response and suggested that I am promoting a single infrastructure or a single location for infrastructure.
