Mr. Doug Anguish (The Battlefords-Meadow Lake):

Madam Speaker, I rise on a matter of urgent and pressing necessity under the provisions of Standing Order 43.

Whereas the Battlefords, an area serving a population of

30,000 people, has no regular air service, I move, seconded by the hon. member for Humboidt-Lake Centre (Mr. Althouse):

That the Ministry of Transport commence immediate discussions with the town of Battleford, the city of North Battleford, the Northwest Economic Development Council, the rural municipalities of the area and an air carrier to assure regular air service to the Battlefords.

Madam Speaker:

Such a motion requires the unanimous consent of the House. Is there unanimous consent?

Mr. Tom McMillan (Hillsborough):

Madam Speaker, I rise, under the provisions of Standing Order 43, on a matter of urgent and pressing necessity.

In view of the fact that the Minister of Public Works yesterday tabled in the House the analysis on which the government based its decision to move the site for the Department of Veterans Affairs from the Charlottetown waterfront to the centre of that city, and in view of the fact that the analysis is riddled with factual errors, I move, seconded by the hon. member for Don Valley West (Mr. Bosley):

That this House condemn the minister for tabling and acting on such a document, and that the minister appear before the Standing Committee on National Resources and Public Works to explain the errors and inaccuracies in that document.

Madam Speaker:

Such a motion requires the unanimous consent of the House. Is there unanimous consent?

Agreed.

No.

Mr. Bob Corbett (Fundy-Royal):

Madam Speaker, 1 rise, under the provisions of Standing Order 43, on a matter of urgent and pressing necessity.

According to recent reports, the Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources has initiated action within his department which would alter an agreement between New Brunswick and Maine whereby New Brunswick sells electrical power to Maine from its oil-fired thermal generating station in Saint John. In view of the fact that the contract has enabled New Brunswick to construct the facility which employs 140 workers, and was entered into in good faith, I move, seconded by the hon. member for York-Sunbury (Mr. Howie):

That the minister assure the province, through this House, that he will not jeopardize either the contract between New Brunswick and Maine nor the future operation of the plant by fiddling with oil subsidies as they apply to generating stations.

Madam Speaker:

Such a motion requires the unanimous consent of the House. Is there unanimous consent?

Agreed.

No.

Mr. Jesse P. Flis (Parkdale-High Park):

Madam Speaker, 1 seek the attention of all hon. members of this House on a matter of urgent and pressing necessity under the provisions of Standing Order 43.

In view of the fact that Canada does not have a national anthem, a fact not known by many Canadians, and in light of the fact that the year 1980 has drawn much attention to national unity and to the patriation of the constitution, I move, seconded by the hon. member from Verdun (Mr. Savard):

That this House officially recognize "O Canada" as the national anthem and "God Save the Queen" as the royal anthem.

Madam Speaker:

Such a motion requires the unanimous consent of the House. Is there unanimous consent?
