Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to associate myself as do all members of the House with your words of congratulation.
I believe it is time that I personally stopped thinking of the hon. members for Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke as those two new guys around here. Not many members have had the privilege of serving 30 consecutive years in the House. I am happy to note that the active membership in this special club has just tripled. I assure new members and the House that I could not have chosen any better company.
