Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Canada-United Kingdom Interparliamentary Association I would like to indicate to the House that members of the British delegation are visiting with us today to learn more about how Canadian parliamentarians carry out their responsibilities both here in Ottawa and in their constituencies.
I am pleased to note that the delegation is headed by the Baroness Pitkeathley of Caversham. Also present are Keith Ernest Darvill of Upminster; Christopher Leslie of Shipley; Maria Eagle of Liverpool-Garston; John Bercow of Buckingham; Gerald Howarth of Aldershot; the Rt. Hon. Eric Forth of Bromley-Chislehurst; and Andrew George of St. Ives.
It is a pleasure to have them here with us today.
