Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the government team in the House of Commons and the Senate and as chair of the Liberal women's caucus, it is my honour to welcome back to this place the hon. member for Beaver River.
Most here would agree that her presence has been missed. Her contribution to the third party is significant and important. Government members look forward to the hon. member getting the Reform Party to focus on the real issues and making some valuable contributions in improving the lives of Canadians.
There are only 54 women in this House. When one from our ranks is missing, Canadians notice.
Once again, bon retour. We wish the hon. member continued good health.
