Thank you, Chair.
I would like to confirm what the Speaker said about security for former prime ministers. Prime Minister Chrétien is accompanied by two RCMP officers. Every year he attends the golf tournament organized by Jackie and Paul Desmarais. This event is held at Manoir Richelieu in my riding. I attend and it costs me $350. I can tell you that I am the only separatist who attends the reception after the tournament. Last year, he played with Stéphane Quintal, a former Montreal Canadien player, and Vincent Lecavalier, who plays for the Tampa Bay Lightning and is a very good driver.
Mr. Speaker, could you ask the Clerk the date of the Speaker's and the Clerk's last appearance? I will ask the Clerk a question about a commitment she made. My purpose is to prepare her psychologically.
