Without much ado, I support this Bill. I also support the Members who feel that the Ministry in charge of national heritage should play a central role in identifying national heroes and landmarks that can add to the history of this country. We cannot keep on legislating on the same things over and over again. This is something which should have been thought of 38 years ago when our first President died.

Hon. Speaker, I had written the Petition to the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. That was in April. It has pained me more---
