Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned earlier, I came here in 1993. It was my first time as a member of parliament. The one thing I did over the first couple of years was to understand and respect the clerk, the table officers, the legal counsel and the Speaker of the House to do the right things for this institution and for Canadians across the country who we represent. Mr. Speaker, I maintain that full confidence in all of you.
In the House of Commons on March 16th, 2000. See this statement in context.
