Mr. Speaker, I have a very easy question for the Prime Minister which I know he will be able to answer. Has the Canadian delegation to the United Nations been instructed by the government to join France and the United States in calling for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Czechoslovakia?

Mr. Lincoln M. Alexander (Hamilton West):

Mr. Speaker, on September 27 I directed a question to the President of the Treasury Board. Has he had an opportunity to discuss the subject matter of the question directed to him?

Mr. Mark Rose (Fraser Valley West):

Mr. Speaker, I believe my question should be directed to the Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources or his parliamentary secretary. Can the minister give any indication to the house if and when he plans to implement a Canada Water Act in view of the fact that control of water pollution was referred to in the throne speech, and is of urgent importance to British Columbia and other areas across Canada?
