Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to wish the Leader of the Opposition a speedy recovery.
Setting aside partisan rhetoric and the constitutional differences of opinion that oppose us, all my colleagues from the Liberal Party join me in telling the Leader of the Opposition that he is in our thoughts as he goes through what must certainly be the most difficult time of his life. We also wish his wife, children and family the courage to see him through this ordeal.
The words of support that flood in from all parts testify to the great parliamentary qualities of the Leader of the Opposition.
On behalf of all Canadians, I wish for the speedy return of the Leader of the Opposition among us, here in this House.
