Mr. Speaker, as the Reform member from Ontario, I rise in the House today to join my hon. colleagues in paying tribute to Mr. Arnold Peters, who passed away this week.
Mr. Peters served in the RCAF during World War II and in 1957 was elected as the member of Parliament for the Ontario riding of Temiscaming, an office he held for 23 years, winning nine successive elections.
Mr. Peters served both his country and his constituents with distinction and honour.
On behalf of the Reform Party I want to give thanks for his years of service and to extend our sympathies and condolences to his family and friends.
