Mr V.A. Catania : Yes.
Mr M. McGOWAN : So the member
is supporting fly in, fly out positions there, okay, just so I understand.
Mr V.A. Catania interjected.
Mr M. McGOWAN : No. The member

Mr V.A. Catania interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for North
West Central!
Mr M. McGOWAN : Mr Speaker, I am
just clarifying, because it appears that the member is saying that he supports
those fly in, fly out positions. I want it on the record that the member for
North West Central supports those fly in, fly out positions. I will seek some
