Statements by Members
Mr. Speaker, this week has been quite an ordeal for Atlantic Canadians. Hurricane Fiona left desperation and destruction in her path throughout Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island, Îles de la Madeleine, and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Mr. Speaker, this week has been quite an ordeal for Atlantic Canadians. Hurricane Fiona left desperation and destruction in her path throughout Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island, Îles de la Madeleine, and Newfoundland and Labrador. I stand with this House in mourning the loss of life, as all Canadians do. It will take days, if not weeks, to restore many communities' power. It will take months, if not years, to pick up the pieces of our communities. It is at these times that we are proud to be Canadians. We know that through despair and destruction we will find hope and love, helping one another to rebuild and to take care of one another. In the depths of the darkness of the wind and rain, there were many points of light trying to ensure the safety of our loved ones. I want to thank emergency measures organizations, first responders, police, fire and paramedics who were there through the hurricane to save lives and help others. I want to thank power crews and the public works department for starting the daunting task of cleaning up. Fiona may have knocked us down, but we are Atlantic Canadians. We are already back up.
Emergency Debate
The House will now proceed to the consideration of a motion to adjourn the House for the purpose of discussing a specific and important matter requiring urgent consideration, namely hurricane Fiona.
Emergency Debate
I thank the member, my friend from Cape Breton—Canso, for not singing the song, even though the song is wonderful and the sentiment is wonderful as well. Questions and comments, the hon. member for South Shore—St. Margarets.
Emergency Debate
I did not get to church on Sunday, so I need to thank the member for that. Questions and comments, the hon. member for South Okanagan—West Kootenay.
Emergency Debate
It is not like me to make comments, but I have seen fishing gear after a hurricane, and it is garbage. We will continue with questions and comments. The hon. member for South Shore—St. Margarets.
Emergency Debate
Before I get to debate, I want to say that it seems like the later we get in the evening, the longer the answers and questions get. There is an exponential thing here the later we get, so let us shorten them up a bit so we can get a few more done before we finish up at the top of the hour. Resuming debate, the hon. member for Saanich—Gulf Islands.
