Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak about my wonderful friend and colleague, the member for Labrador.
It was with great sadness that I learned he was diagnosed with a serious illness. I know that his determination, stamina and tremendous Labrador spirit will lead him to a speedy recovery.
His friends and colleagues miss him in the House. Rest assured that our thoughts and prayers remain with him during this most difficult time for him and his family.
On behalf of all of us in Ottawa, I wish to extend to him our heartfelt and sincere wishes. We hope to see him among us very soon. Good luck, Lawrence.
