mr. davis: mr. speaker, on monday of this week, i was saddened to know the passing of cook county commissioner and president pro tem, robert steele. whom i have known since hins childhood days. as a matter of fact, i lived in the same neighborhood with the steele family from the year that commissioner robert steele was born. i count myself as a steele family friend and have worked bobbie, sinceher, 1960's. his father, robert, was a mentor to my son, stacey. i had the pleasure of watching commissioner steele grow from a child into becoming an adult. an outstanding local and national leader. commissioner steele was so much more than a man with a title. he was part of the glue which held his community together. he was a big brother to neighborhood boys whom he often took with him to events and activities. he was a mentor and an inspiration to those who came into contact with him. he was a great advocate for organ donation and transportation. you see, he was a recipient from his sister who gave him a ki

and, michel barnier, how confident are you that you will still have mr davies to talk to over the next six months, given the fragility of a british government that has to rely on loyalists in northern ireland? how flattering. let me deal with that. we have dealt with it once already, but the treatment of the northern ireland issue, the republic of ireland issue is by no means second—class. just the reverse, it has been dealt with by the most senior people in ago negotiating teams. that is... we are starting it now, not because... we hope we can get a reasonably fast resolution. in northern ireland, that will take some considerable time. very compact, very sensitive and as michel barnier has already said, is one we take its really seriously. has absolutely nothing to do with any negotiations inside the house of commons. let me on this pointjust reaffirm the fact that we have begun at the highest level. the british promise's adviser, my deputy in these negotiations. i think this shows its own right we put on this issue. given the range of the technical issues at stake, i think it is very
