The Russian Ballet, also known as the Ballets Russes, was founded by Serge Diaghilev (1872-1929). Diaghilev, the Russian Ballet's producer and creative director, rejected conventional ideas of ballet. His great achievement was to integrate design, music and dance. By encouraging the artistic collaboration of painters, choreographers and composers, Diaghilev created a new art-modern ballet. From 1909 until 1929 the company performed in Paris, throughout Europe and in North and South America. Ironically, the Russian Ballet company never appeared in Russia.
The Russian Ballet
in Australia
The Exhibition
The exhibition displays the extraordinary designs made for the Russian Ballet from the Russian season in Paris in 1909 to the avant-garde production of Destiny in 1933. It includes costumes, drawings, photographs, theatre programs and even a backdrop. There are four broad themes: Exoticism, Romance and Fairytales, Russian Folklore and Modernism.
This education kit includes 11 images of costumes and designs from the exhibition From Russia with Love. Text on the reverse side of each image provides production information, some background about the designer and a description of the costumes. This is followed by quick comprehension questions, then suggestions for essays, activities and discussions, specific to each ballet.
The discussion topics and activities have been designed to address all the areas of the Arts curriculum: dance, drama, media studies, visual arts and music. The three strands of making, criticising and researching have also been covered.

At the last meeting Cindy Nielson-City Treasurer was concerned about older Orangeville citizens that have difficulty writing out checks for city services. Therefore Bryan Christensen of Zions Bank along with others were invited to make a presentation about the use of auto bill paying and the use of credit cards when paying for city services.
Only Zions Bank had a representative at this meeting. The startup cost to the city for this service from Zions Bank would be $175. For credit cards the city would be charged $25 per month or a minimum of $25 in service fees and 25 cents per credit card transaction. For the bank to pull money, for the city, from a checking account, when the checking account number and routing number is furnished to the bank, the city would be charged 10 cents per transaction. There would be a minimum amount of $25 in transaction fees required each month and a $10 monthly service charge for checking account withdrawals. The costs plus a handling fee by the city would be passed on to the citizen using this service if this plan is adopted by the city.
These transactions could be setup or initiated from the city office computer. The program is password protected and monthly, weekly or daily reports can be printed out as to which accounts have been charged. If this program is adopted by the city Zions Bank will provide training for the city employees and customers that wish to utilize this service.
The city council discussed the problems with the unusual amount of snow and the removal of snow in the city. Orangeville has only one employee to run the snow plow and when he gets sick there is no one to take over. The council decided they would hire up to two part time seasonal employees to be on call when needed and also to mow along streets during the summer. The council also discussed the problem of cars parked on the street that hampered the snow removal. Some citizens failure to remove their cars from the city street, especially on narrow streets, caused problems with the snow removal, according to the mayor. The mayor called on Orangeville citizens to help remove the snow and he thanked those that did make efforts to help clear the snow from drive ways and sidewalks.
A flier will be sent out to remind Orangeville citizens they are responsible to keep cars, trailers and campers off the streets, to remove the snow from the sidewalk around their property and to keep the weeds down in the summer around their property to the curb and gutter.
Weeds and grass growing between a fence and the curb and gutter are to be kept cut by the adjoining property owner.
A public hearing was held on several items: the cost of water will be increased this year by Castle Valley Special Service District. The increase to the cost of new water connections outside the city requires three shares of water and a water fee rate higher than city water fees. This is because outside the city property owners do not pay city taxes. There will also be a charge to property owners of $1.40 per 1,000 gallons for using more than the allocated usage of water. This was recommended by Castle Valley Special Service District.
A discussion about changes to the Orangeville City ATV Ordinance resulted in the following changes: ATVs are expected to obey street and highway speed limit laws and anyone under 16 will have to wear a helmet when riding an ATV in Orangeville. This will assist law enforcement to enforce speed limit laws on ATV vehicles. The ordinance can be reviewed at the Orangeville City Hall.
The fee schedule for voice copies of Orangeville City Council meeting minutes on a CD will be $5.
The city attorney recommended minor corrections in the language and punctuation of the City Development Code which was adopted.
Carole Larsen was appointed to represent the city on the Economic Development Council.
Mayor Pat Jones would like to see the installation of a redwood gazebo at the entrance to the Orangeville City Cemetery, possibly as an Eagle Scout project.
The city council tabled the approval of an Interlocal Governmental Agreement with Castle Valley Special Service District until the CVSSD makes some necessary corrections in the agreement. Water fees changes will not be made until the city and CVSSD agree on a contract or agreement.

This particular prescribed burn has been waiting since 1996 for the right conditions to do the job. Several times in the past years, ignition has been attempted, but with little or no results.
On June 28, during the hottest time of the summer and during the driest conditions, a heliotorch was brought in and several spots were hand ignited and the burn was on. "It was like the burn read our plans," said Hoffman. "It burned exactly where we wanted it to go and it self ignited in all the right spots."
Nyman stated on July 3, late in the evening, the fire did escape containment and was listed as a wildfire for a short time before the crews regained control. "The purpose of this prescribed burn was to clean up deadfall in the Jungle area, and to regenerate aspen growth. Our objectives were met, and now with a little clean up of snags near the roadway, we may open the road within the week," said Nyman.
Hoffman added that OHVs are asked to stay off the trails in the area of Singleton Flat and Indian Creek for at least four-six weeks to allow crews to remove the dangerous snags. These trees are over the trails and they do not want anyone to be in danger of a tree fall. "Safety of the public is our number one concern now," he said. "We had a lot of risk with this fire, being the hottest time of the summer so far, and it is so dry, but everything worked perfectly. In two-three years, the aspen regrowth will be 12 feet tall. The area is so wet that regrowth will do very well."
Nyman added the BAER (burn area emergency rehabilitation) crew will be in the area making assessments. They will assess the soil damage and level of sterility. This will help the Forest Service to project regrowth in the fire area.
Following the update, the Emery County Public Lands Council and Rick Larsen of the Utah Division of Wildlife Control thanked the Forest Service for their cooperation during this burn. Everyone involved was given updates and those parties considered this burn very successful. The final total of burned acres is 5,333. This figure is as close as the GPS numbers can get.

We are working our way to our final review of the first Rift expansion, Storm Legion. We offer our third installment of our Review in Progress series, this time focusing bugs, customer service, dungeons and more. See what you think before leaving a comment or two.
I'm continually impressed by the new dungeons in Storm Legion. This week I had a chance to play through Storm Breaker Protocol a number of times. All of these were with pick up groups and not all of them were successful. While on first glance failing to complete a dungeon might seem like a bad thing, but honestly I'm happy that the dungeons are difficult enough that the risk of failure actually exists. With the last batch of 50 experts so out geared it is nice to finally step back into a dungeon and know that if not everyone pulls their weight, you may not succeed. Storm Breaker Protocol is also the first time that we see our defiant occupy a vehicle mode for a dungeon. You fight the first two bosses in this instance in a Gundam mode and then proceed to fight the next two bosses robotic armor free. Each of the bosses is more than just a tank and spank with the last boss providing multiple tasks for the tank. I was required to cleanse myself, purge the boss, and control adds while the DPS broke crystals. I'm always pleased to be engaged rather than just spamming the boss for threat.
Read more of Rob Lashley's Rift: Storm Legion Review in Progress Part 3.
I'm back playing Rift, level 41 so not into SL yet but loving it so far. Good fair review
To those returning that are not level 50 yet - as soon as you hit 48 go to storm legion first zone - the quests start at 48 and give a huge amount of xp, youll hit 50 very fast.Before lvl 48 just grind out instant adventures , you can level 1-48 via IA really fast, also queue for battlegrounds a single win prior to 50 gives almost half a level of xp!
other than that, storm legion is currently the best expansion by far on the market - it is 100x better than original Rift. I am astounded how much improved Storm Legion really is.
I feel like this is a fair review overall however has some weaknesses in the arguments. For example yes the bugs are a pain, however saying they should have all been fix by now is out of line. First very few beta testers actually beta the game; these people normally just play the game to play the game. Second look at the time of the year. Last week was thanksgiving and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if most of the customer service people have called off or no showed. It is what it is people need to live with it, had the game release a month ago I would agree that the bugs should have been fixed.
I also do not feel that the argument over the queue times for LFD is fair either. There are a lot of new mechanics with these bosses that if you ignore you will die. So more people are looking for pre-made groups and are not using LFD. Also like myself as a healer I would rather go with 3 other guild members and pug the last spot because what you often get is people who are drama queens in LFD. For example the first SL instance was the first one myself and 3 other guildmates joined. The Support person right off the bat started with how can you not know this, why didn't you do this instance sooner. We didn't even make a pull and we fully told him that we were learning the place. After about 30 minutes of his drama we quit. We don't mind wiping and learning at this phase we are enjoying learning new content.
All and All a fair review.
There is going to be bugs with any addition to a game of this size and the holiday slap bang in the middle has definitely not helped. One thing is for sure though everything will get fixed (lots already have in the hotfixes) unlike other games where you wait months for fixes or even recognition there is a problem.
Currently playing:
SWToR, Aion,EQ, Dark Age of Camelot
World of Warcraft, AoC
Dimensions are a godsend in this game. The power of player made content takes rift into sandbox territory. I have 7 or 8 favorite dimensions so far. They range from amazing homes to taverns, ruins, forests, and some challenging jumping puzzles. All created by our community. I am working on a massive treehouse for my dimension. I love the fact that dimension items can be crafted by players. And i love that the materials needed to craft dimension items are spread across all continents and zones.
People try to downplay dimensions, but the fact is they are a game changer.
Which server has the best dimensions? Impossible to say right now. Ive barely seen a tenth of the more active dimensions just on my server let alone other servers. Probably 6 months to a year, we will have a good idea of the most active dimension servers are. I play on us faeblight and there is no shortage of interesting dimensions to visit.

One of my recent columns asked if new electronic devices have made federal workers superheroes or if they have turned them into 24/7 puppets.
We got lots of responses, including this from an about-to-retire fed who is also a captain in the Navy Reserves. She thinks it is time we try to get the genie, at least partially, back in the bottle. Here's her take on the good-servant/bad-master concept:
"Lo and behold, and many years ago, when BlackBerrys and home e-mail accounts had just come into being, the Navy Reserve tried to get those of us serving as unit COs two days a month to volunteer to have BlackBerrys issued to us so the command structure could easily contact us at a moment's notice and send us correspondence that way throughout the month.
"I failed to avail myself of this special treat but saw other officers lose their personal lives to playing Navy 24/7, but only being paid and in uniform two days a month. Emergency communications are one thing — 24/7 for routine stuff is something else again entirely.
White House prepping government reorg executive order
White House prepping government reorg executive order
"Now, I hear the government wants its employees to volunteer their own 'mobiles' and their own service providers to antagonize people 24/7. I assume in the name of 'more with less' and, even worse, the employees' own 'convenience.' To quote an old friend of mine; 'After a while, all you can do with less is less.'
"The genie needs to go back into the bottle. While it is certainly a very good thing to be employed and get a paycheck, it is not a good thing to have that job be the end-all, be-all of one's existence. People deserve personal lives.
"One of my co-workers recently put it well: Study after study shows that there needs to be down time and separation from workplace anxieties and stresses, lest the workers and masses become burned out. Uncle Sam and other employers will always ask for more. Employees need to stand up for themselves and not allow the incremental creep of workplace into personal life to become a tsunami."

The Challenge: Fresh Meat II Continues the Great Tradition of In-House Catfights
The number may be different, but The Challenge: Fresh Meat II isn't really shaking up the formula this time around. Fists! Fury! Slanderous accusations of lascivious lifestyles! Enough booze to sink an aircraft carrier! Inside, newbies learn the hard way.
This season has contests competing in sexy British Columbia, Canada for cash prizes and further infamy. The premise basically remains the same as previous challenges, except this time, some relatively innocent bystanders have been thrown into the mix. There are so many double crossings and faked alliances on this new season that it is literally impossible to keep track of them. Contestants even went so far as to pre-arrange fake alliances before the show began filming to deceive players who were actually in alliances, some of which are fake, so the fake alliances would work out for the fakers. That makes sense, right? Good. Mindless television becoming cerebral is never a bad thing.
Then of course there's the fighting and the name calling, which more or less plays like a highlight reel of any given seaon of the Real World or Road Rules (remember when that was a show?) with some extreme athleticism mixed in. The alliance schemes may make this season worth watching, though, if only to root against pompous Wes from Real World: Austin.
And as a word to the wise, you can rest easy about Jenn tearing apart your exoskeleton, young man: you don't have one!

Patricia Usick, Honorary Archivist, Ancient Egypt and Sudan, British Museum
The archive of the Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan has recently acquired a fascinating collection of letters from Joseph Bonomi (1796-1878) to his friend and colleague Samuel Sharpe (1799-1881). Both men were important figures in early Egyptology with close connections to the British Museum; their friendship and interests are reflected in this lively, scholarly, and intimate correspondence of 1857-1878.
Bonomi's contribution to Egyptology and his long and productive career have not been sufficiently appreciated.
Bonomi, artist and sculptor, Egyptologist curator of Sir John Soane's Museum, and Sharpe, Egyptologist and biblical scholar, first met in 1837 when Sharpe was publishing inscriptions from the British Museum. They developed a close friendship while collaborating on the Egyptian Rooms at the Crystal Palace, and numerous biblical and Egyptian publications, including the alabaster sarcophagus of Seti I, which the architect and collector John Soane had purchased when the British Museum Trustees, alas, refused it.
Bonomi had joined Robert Hay's expedition to Egypt as his artist in 1824, producing drawings and helping to make the plaster casts of Egyptian reliefs which are now in the British Museum along with Hay's collections. Bonomi subsequently spent nine years in Egypt in the company of many of the eminent scholar-travellers of the day. In England, Bonomi illustrated John Gardner Wilkinson's books on Egypt, made drawings for a Panorama of Egypt, and worked in the British Museum arranging exhibits. He designed the first hieroglyphic font produced in England for Samuel Birch, Keeper of Oriental Antiquities in the British Museum, and even designed an Egyptian temple façade for a flax mill in Leeds. Birch thought that, after Gardner Wilkinson, Bonomi knew more about Egypt than anyone of his time.
The letters touch on many of the Egyptological issues of the day: damage to Egyptian monuments, both natural and the deliberate ancient effacement of the name and image of the god Amun; the embalming of animals; their joint publication of the Soane sarcophagus – and how well their publications were selling; the statue of Khaemwaset (now EA 947), which Sharpe purchased and presented to the British Museum; Schliemann's discovery of Troy; the provenance of a disputed basalt stone in Bologna and a fragment of a sarcophagus with the Asiatic Society; excavations at the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III in Thebes; the mathematical papyrus 'in Birch's room' (The Rhind Papyrus P. BM 10058); the discovery of the famous Moabite Stone, the oldest Semitic inscription then known; and the Museum's paintings from the tomb of Nebamun.
Bonomi considered Rev. Lieder's collection 'inferior much to Mr. Hay's', though worth a visit, and Birch had bought '20 pounds worth'. Rev. Rudolph Theophilus Lieder was a German missionary and collector who worked in Cairo for many years under the Church Missionary Society and collected Egyptian antiquities. In 1861 Lord Amherst purchased his collection of 186 items for £200, the inventory of which is in the Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan archives. A glimpse of what must be Rev Lieder's son in 1869 is revealing; 'I found Mr Lieder with eyes denoting neglected ophthalmia hand trembling from much tobacco and perhaps excess in wine. I knew him a little boy in Cairo as I then thought much neglected by his mother'.
Despite tragedy in Bonomi's private life – his four young children died of whooping cough in one week in 1852 and he was left to bring up his four following children when his wife Jessie, the daughter of the painter John Martin, died in 1859 aged 34 – his output was enormous, and his humorous observations and cheerful disposition bring a seminal figure to life.

About Soundgarden
Remember the days when a hot summer breeze flowed through those grungy tresses to the tune of Black Hole Sun in the 90's? Well those days can be revived when Soundgarden tickets go on sale and the band goes back on the road with some new material very soon.
Having preceded alternative music greats like Jane's Addiction, Nirvana and Pearl Jam, Soundgarden added a hard edge to an era dominated by glam rock. Like most successful grunge bands, Soundgarden formed in Seattle back in 1984 first as a cover band named The Shemps. After a few lineup changes and a dramatic switch in sound, the band, originally billed as a cross between The Stooges, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and MC5, Soundgarden saw a huge rise in success during the Soundgarden tour featuring Guns N Roses and their A&M records release Louder Than Love in 1989.
It was in 1992, however, that Soundgarden tickets would be considered a major deal with the release of a more metal sounding Badmotorfinger featuring the singles Outshined and Rusty Cage reaching the top 100 selling albums for that year. Soundgarden tickets became increasingly popular when the band headlined Soundgarden tours with the likes of Guns N Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam and Ministry, earning a spot on the Lollapalooza Tour that year. 1994's release of Superunkown would be Soundgarden's most successful album to date with hits Spoonman, The Day I Tried to Live, Black Hole Sun, My Wave and Fell on Black Days garnering enough attention for Soundgarden tickets to go on sale for a full headlining Soundgarden tour.
After a long string of Soundgarden concerts, the band hit the studio for another recording session which would result in the 1996 release Down on the Upside and the band's subsequent breakup in 1997. Tensions mounted when lead singer Chris Cornell decided to move away from their grunge and metal roots and the album was considered softer than its predecessors. After Soundgarden tickets sold out for many dates on their following Soundgarden tour, the band called it quits citing creative differences as a cause for the breakup.
Athough former Soundgarden front man and ex-Audioslave singer Chris Cornell stated that a reunion was "probably not going to happen" in a 2005 interview, rumors circulated about a Soundgarden reunion in 2009 with a possibility of a Soundgarden tour as well. Cornell recently stated that Soundgarden was in the talks of releasing a box set, then on New Year's morning 2010 Chris Cornell announced that "The 12 year break is over and school is back in session. Sign up now. Knights of the Soundtable ride again!" That's right, all original members of Soundgarden finally reunited for a 2011 tour - could a new album be in the works...?

Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
The Speaker
As questions of privilege affect all of us, it is always valuable for us to give attention to the ruling.
I am now ready to rule on the question of privilege raised by the hon. member for Madawaska-Victoria on June 8, 1995.
During Private Members' Business on that day, the hon. member and the hon. member for Beaver River engaged in a heated conversation.
According to the hon. member for Madawaska-Victoria, as she turned to go back to her seat in order to end the discussion, the hon. member for Beaver River grabbed her by the arm. The hon. member brought this to the immediate attention of the Chair and, the Acting Speaker heard the question of privilege.
Citing Erskine May's , 21st edition, at page 126, the member noted that it is a contempt to molest a member. She then claimed that she had been physically assaulted and was prepared to move the appropriate motion.
The hon. member for Beaver River then rose to confirm that the member for Madawaska-Victoria was correct in her description of the events. The member for Beaver River apologized to the member for Madawaska-Victoria and told the House she had intended no harm, threat or assault.
The Reform Party whip, the hon. member for Calgary Centre, and the hon. member for Mississauga South, both witnesses to the incident, assisted the Chair by describing what they had seen. The chief government whip also spoke to the matter, drawing to the attention of the Chair a number of precedents. I thank all three members for their contributions.
In my view the matter raised by the hon. member for Madawaska-Victoria is a very serious one for this House. The events that occurred were unfortunate, to say the least.
The hon. member for Beaver River has admitted she was at fault but has explained she meant no harm and has in fact apologized for her actions. I refer to her own words in the debates of June 8 at pages 13507 and 13508:
I do apologize for that. I certainly did not mean any harm or assault. I do apologize if she thought there was any intention of an assault. I absolutely meant no harm or any threat.
As Speaker Fraser noted when ruling on a matter involving the hon. member for York South-Weston and the late Mr. Dan McKenzie, to which the chief government whip referred, once
the error has been admitted and the member has apologized, procedurally the matter should go no further.
The incident ought not to have happened and it ought not happen again. I refer hon. members to the debate of October 16, 1987, at page 10090. I concur with the decision reached by my predecessor on that occasion and with regard to the present case I find the matter is closed.
There is a troubling aspect to this incident which, if left unchallenged, could have serious consequences for us all, as members of this House. It is my hope that my remarks will clear the air and ensure that we stay on course in our dealings with each other in this House, particularly during the long hours of these final days before the adjournment.
As Speaker, I am the arbiter of House proceedings, charged with preserving order and decorum. However, I cannot do this job alone. I rely on the co-operation of you all, my colleagues, to ensure that this Chamber remains the focal point for thoughtful reasoned debate on the matters crucial to the well being of our nation.
While I take consolation from the fact that our House is more orderly and decorous than the one faced by my 19th century predecessors, I am constantly reminded that this is a place of strong opinions and strong emotions and that when tempers flare hon. members can get carried away. I strongly urge all hon. members, you my colleagues, to respect the conventions and traditions of this place and to conduct ourselves-myself also, because I am part of it with you-with the civility becoming representatives of the Canadian people.
There is absolutely no place for violent language or actions in this House. Our constituents expect members to be businesslike and civilized in the conduct of parliamentary affairs. So does the Chair. So does the whole House.
To quote Speaker Fraser on a ruling he gave on December 11, 1991, at page 6142 of the debates:
The Chair can devise no strategy, however aggressive or interventionist, and can imagine no codification, however comprehensive or strict, that will successfully protect the Canadian parliamentary traditions that we cherish as will each member's sense of justice and fair play.
In this I wholeheartedly concur.

Jean Charest Sherbrooke, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to one of the longest serving members of Parliament, Mr. Bob Wenman, who passed away peacefully at his home on June 13.
Robert Lloyd Wenman was born in Maidstone, Saskatchewan, on June 19, 1940 and would have been exactly 55 years old today. He had a distinguished academic career, attending the University of Saskatchewan as well as several prominent American schools. He trained as a teacher at Saskatoon Teachers College.
He first entered politics in 1966 at the age of 25 years. He was elected at that time to the British Columbia legislature. He was re-elected in 1969 and after a short time was also an alderman in Surrey, British Columbia.
He was elected for the first time to the House of Commons in 1974 and re-elected at every election afterward until he decided to retire from politics in August 1993.
During his time as a member of Parliament he held several posts, including parliamentary secretary to the minister of defence, and chaired the Standing Committee on Labour, Employment and Immigration.
Outside the House of Commons he gave generously of his time to many causes, the most significant of which was undoubtedly the United Nations.
Mr. Wenman was a member of this place who very early on became interested in environment issues, issues that related to the global population. He was interested in these issues at a time when it was not fashionable. I remember in the 1984 Parliament he was among a few members at the time who pursued some key issues related to the environment, one of them being, as I subsequently discovered in reading some notes following his passing away, South Moresby in British Columbia. That was an issue he pursued with the previous government, that of Mr. Clark.
He was also very interested in issues that affected global parliamentarians and chaired that group for some time.
He left his mark in a conference held in British Columbia called Globe '92. He chaired the UN global parliamentarians on habitat group. A consequence of the 1992 conference was the creation of the International Centre for Sustainable Cities, now located in the city of Vancouver.
He was also very interested, in his constituents and in the issues of his own area, among them Fort Langley, which I know something of because of previous responsibilities. I can assure the House that he certainly pursued the interests of Fort Langley with a great deal of vigour.
As friends and colleagues reflect upon his great contribution, which spanned 30 years of public life in Canada, and as we think back to the significance of that contribution, may I refer to someone you have just referred to, Mr. Speaker, your predeces-
sor, Speaker John Fraser. Upon learning of his passing away, Speaker Fraser said this: "Bob Wenman took his own direction, clearly from his own star".
As we look back on his life may we encourage many other Canadians to follow the star of Bob Wenman.
In closing, I want to extend our very deep regrets to his wife of 32 years, Donna, and his four children, Jill, Kiven, Ken and Kraig.

David Anderson Minister of National Revenue
Mr. Speaker, it is with a deep sense of loss that I rise to recall the life and the untimely death of Bob Wenman, a man dedicated to the country, to his province of British Columbia and to public service.
My friend, Bob Wenman, died last week in British Columbia at the age of 54 after a political career spanning almost 30 years, including 19 years in the House of Commons, representing the constituents of Fraser Valley West.
It is Bob's principled and distinguished life rather than his passing which will remain fixed in the minds of those of us who knew him.
Bob began his political career at the age of 25 in 1966 as a Social Credit MLA in the provincial legislature of the province of British Columbia. From that early start until last week he led a life marked by an unwavering commitment to stand by his beliefs and ideals. Whether or not his views were popular, Bob was resolute in upholding and promoting those things that he believed to be right.
During his final years in public office, Bob's commitment to family values, the environment and Canada's relationship with countries in the Pacific rim was very evident.
He is survived by his wife Donna and four children, Ken, Jill, Kiven and Kraig, and our thoughts are with them at this very difficult time. I hope his family and his many friends are able to take solace in the knowledge that his contribution to his province and to the country will long be remembered.

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Bloc Quebecois and on my own behalf, I also want to pay tribute to Robert. You all remember that in 1981 only one Conservative member was elected in Quebec. However, in 1984, 57 Conservative members arrived here to represent Quebec, 56 of them being new faces. That turnaround was the result of the efforts made by Robert, who taught some skills at the sessions for Conservative candidates.
As the leader of the Conservative Party mentioned earlier, all Quebec Conservative or former Conservative members, including those who were defeated during the last election and those who did not seek a new mandate, remember Robert as an exceptional facilitator and motivator at these sessions for Conservative candidates. Robert was extremely friendly and he taught us many points which proved useful during the election campaign. In fact, several Quebec MPs elected in 1984 are very indebted to him for his good advice. Even though he had to conduct his own election campaign, Robert was generous enough to come and spend two days with us at the sessions for candidates, held in a hotel which is now a Travel Lodge, where he welcomed us. The whole session was organized by him.
He was an extremely generous person strongly devoted to the party line, but with some very progressive ideas. For example, he was always the one, in the Conservative Party who would trigger the debates on the environment. I had the opportunity to sit with him on various commissions and committees. I was always impressed by the avant-gardism of his ideas, as well as by the pragmatism which characterized every one of his statements. To be sure, he was a philosopher but he was always very practical.
We had a lot in common. Like me he was a former teacher and in business. Consequently we would often have discussions together. Robert also talked a lot about agriculture since he represented a part urban and part rural riding. Again, since our ridings were more or less similar, we had long discussions together. I have very fond memories of Robert. He was very close to his constituents and always ready to give to others. He was courteous, friendly, competent, meticulous, hard working, and showed respect for his colleagues. Robert also loved sports and we had to discuss racquetball with him every time we talked to him.
I thank him for his great contribution to democracy in this country. To his family, his wife and four children, I offer my most sincere condolences. I leave them with a quote from French author Alexandre Dumas who said: "Those whom we loved are no longer where they were, but they are always with us, wherever we are".

Randy White Fraser Valley West, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am sad to say that last week former Conservative MP Robert Wenman passed away at the age of 54.
Mr. Wenman worked as a member of Parliament for 19 years, proudly serving the Fraser Valley West communities of Langley, Fort Langley, Aldergrove and Abbotsford.
Bob was a longstanding politician who started his public service at the age of 25 in 1966 as an MLA in British Columbia. He joined federal politics in 1974. In the House of Commons he focused on personal projects and issues such as the environment, a bill permitting passive euthanasia, the enhancement of Canada's international ties and the promotion of B.C. business opportunities with the federal government. He also was strongly anti-abortion and supported family values.
Bob and I met after the election and in the sincere and open approach for which he was known, he was kind enough to help me in those early days. For that I shall be ever thankful. He was a popular individual and active in our community. He was respected by all people and shall be missed.
Bob's contribution has made Canada a better country in which to live. I join with my Reform colleagues and all members of the House to express sincere sympathy to Mr. Wenman's family and friends. We thank Bob for his unselfish contribution.

John Harvard Winnipeg—St. James, MB
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the fourth report of the Standing Committee on Government Operations on Bill C-82, an act to amend the Royal Canadian Mint Act, without amendment.
I would like to add a few more words on behalf of the committee. In the deliberations on Bill C-82, an act to amend the Royal Canadian Mint Act, the Standing Committee on Government Operations heard two separate messages from both government and industry on the introduction of the new $2 coin.
First, the Government of Canada is introducing the new $2 coin because of the savings it will generate for the taxpayers. Within 20 years more than $254 million will be saved for Canadians with the introduction of the coin. Further, the government is expected to accrue an additional $449 million in seigniorage to the consolidated revenue fund within 18 months of the issue. The savings for taxpayers are significant indeed.
We also heard a second message loud and clear from industry, small and medium sized businesses in particular. Although industry supports in principle the introduction of the new coin because of the associated savings, business has expressed serious concern over the timing of the move. The affected businesses and associations clearly stated that the 12-month notice is not adequate time to prepare for this adjustment.
Given the fact that a delay in the introduction of the coin would cost the Government of Canada an estimated $109 million in the fiscal year 1995-96, the committee recognizes the need for the Government of Canada to balance both the requirements of industry with those of fiscal responsibility and budgetary prudence.
The committee recommends that the Royal Canadian Mint-

John Harvard Winnipeg—St. James, MB
Mr. Speaker, the one paragraph I have left contains the major recommendation. Perhaps I could seek the indulgence of the House.
The committee recommends that the Royal Canadian Mint, the Department of Finance and the Bank of Canada work with
industry, small and medium sized businesses, in particular, to ensure a smooth and least cost integration of the new $2 coin into the marketplace. The government should further consider participation in a public awareness campaign with the affected stakeholders to minimize any possible disruption in trade and commerce.

Shirley Maheu Saint-Laurent—Cartierville, QC
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 31, the form and the content of the attached petition have been certified.
Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to present a petition from approximately 850 Canadians from the Montreal area. The long and turbulent history of humanity has, at times, concealed far reaching events of tragic proportions.
Eighty years ago the Armenian genocide, perpetrated by the Turkish government of the Ottoman Empire, claimed the lives of 1.5 million innocent Armenian victims.
Resolutions of the United Nations subcommission, the European Parliament, South American countries and in Canada, the legislatures of Quebec and Ontario have condemned this monumental crime.
Hence, the petitioners request that Parliament change its policy of indifference toward the Armenian genocide and actively initiate and promote international efforts to persuade Turkey to recognize its crime against humanity.
