Some of us have been that way. We have not always taken the time to acknowledge you, but today I ask you to receive our collective thanks and our best wishes for your future careers.
Perhaps some day soon we will have the pleasure of seeing you sitting at these desks and thinking perhaps it was your experience with us that gave you the desire to serve as a member of parliament.
I thank you very much for what you have done for us. We have paid you I think the greatest compliment we can pay our pages, that is we have trusted you so implicitly that we have virtually ignored you in all of our conversations. We treat you as one of us. We treat you as part of the family, which you are now and always will be.
