If we look that good when we are his age, we will be happy. He has served with distinction in various positions. Among other roles he has served as the principal clerk of the journals branch and of the table research branch, as clerk assistant, House proceedings, and as deputy clerk, which he is to this day.
As members are aware, Camille has most recently been the co-editor of the now much quoted manual, House of Commons Procedure and Practice , which I had the honour to table on his behalf in February this year.
I know that all members will join me in paying tribute to Camille Montpetit for his distinguished career.
Camille, on my own behalf and on behalf of all my colleagues in the House, I want to convey to you, to your wife Monique and to the members of your family who are here today, our wishes for good health and happiness in the years to come. You have been a great help to the House of Commons, and we are very grateful to you for that.
My dear Camille, a thousand thanks for the very good work that you have done for us here in the House. We will miss you.
