Senator Cummins pointed out that Senators McFadden, Healy Eames and Keaveney and I campaigned for more than two years to have the party pill BZP banned, given its detrimental effect throughout the country. We should not rest on our laurels in that regard. We should continue campaigning and fighting and we should highlight, on a daily basis, the destruction these head shops are causing in towns and villages throughout the country. The House should debate No. 22 on the Order Paper in the names of Senators Norris and O'Toole as quickly as possible. The latter should take the form of an all-party motion.

I wish to pay tribute to Andrew Grene, a native of Belturbet, County Cavan, who was tragically killed while working for the United Nations in Haiti. I take this opportunity to offer my condolences to Mr. Grene's relatives and friends in Belturbet.
