Mr. Chair, I forgot to declare my conflict. I became a grandparent for the first time this year, twice. In fact, I'm going to be a grandparent again for the third time. My daughter just announced it a few weeks ago. I got to see my grandson walk for the first time about a month ago--this was from home, obviously--and I wouldn't have been able to do that from Parliament Hill.
On May 14th, 2009. See this statement in context.
