Smith noted there was nothing the court could do to undo the harm caused by Angelis, except to hand down a sentence that might deter others from committing similar acts. aseymour a ottawacitizen.com tually came to realize the point she was trying to make. However, Lana Payne, president of the Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Labour, whose members include fishing crews and offshore oil workers, said Gallant's comments were still seen as insulting.

"People couldn't believe what she said," Payne said. "I think there's this expectation that (MPs) are supposed to know more." Gallant's comments were particularly insensitive, Payne said, since the committee had just heard stories of tragedies at sea, including details of two men who died 15 minutes before the arrival of a rescue helicopter. Since 1979, 193 fish harvesters have lost their lives at sea. The March 2009 crash of a helicopter into the Atlantic is also still a fresh wound for those in Newfoundland and Labrador. That crash killed 17 people.

"It is said time will heal all wounds; but this wound seems to become incurably cancerous for us," Le wrote.

"We hope that my niece nephew could forget their nightmares and live a normal life like other kids." During the trial, Angelis argued that his wife attacked him and he was acting in self-defence after Gallant has got into trouble before. She once made a link between abortion in Canada and beheadings in Iraq and also challenged a male Liberal MP's sexuality by telling him: "Ask your boyfriend." In her apology Thursday, she said she had called Newfoundland and Labrador Natural Resources Minister Shawn Skinner. "I spoke to him directly to apologize for any offence I may have caused him or the people of Newfoundland and Labrador." She said Wednesday her remarks had been meant to explore the pooling of all local resources in search and rescue. In that interview, Gallant said at no point was she trying to compare the Ottawa River and Great Lakes to the North Atlantic, although she acknowledged that was how some in the room viewed her comments. She said that an apology was not needed as those at the meeting even 2 1 13 5 64 6 4 5 2 13 5 6 2 3 4 1 1 2 Viii 3 1 5 6 4 1 2 4 3 I 1 I 2 I 5 6 2 4 3 1 4 211 3 7 1- 3112 14 1 3 1 4 2 a.

I have the utmost respect and appreciation for Canadians that make their living from the sea and in no way intended to minimize the dangers they face on a daily basis," Thursday's statement said. Liberal MP Siobhan Coady told the House of Commons her father-in-law had been lost at sea. "A Conservative MP has said those who make their living from the sea should take more responsibility for their own lives. The government consistently shirks its responsibility," Coady said.

Government House Leader John Baird jumped to Gallant's defence. "A lesson I learned when growing up was (that), if someone recognizes they have made a mistake then sincerely apologize, the honourable thing to do would be to accept that apology and move on."
