This concludes question period, but I would like to mention this afternoon that Jean-Claude Devost, table officer and deputy principal clerk at the journals branch, will be leaving this week to take his well earned retirement.
Jean-Claude is at our table right now. Jean-Claude, will you please stand for a moment while I read this to the House.
Jean-Claude retires this week after 28 years of loyal and devoted service to the House of Commons. He began his career working for the caucus of the Social Credit Party under Réal Caouette, and went on to work in various capacities in the House. He became a table officer in 1991.
I know, my colleagues, that you would like to join with me in recognizing Jean-Claude's long and successful career. I want to wish you, Jean-Claude, and your wife, Suzanne, good health and much happiness in the years to come.
