Mr. Speaker, I come from the most Irish city there is in Canada: Saint John, New Brunswick. I want to bring greetings from Saint John to all of those who are Irish in the House of Commons. But more than that, out of respect for you, Mr. Speaker, for whom I have great respect, I would like all of my colleagues, if you would allow us, to sing a chorus of When Irish Eyes Are Smiling. I ask them all to stand.
In the House of Commons on March 17th, 1999. See this statement in context.
