Further, I wish to report to the House that on October 8, I met in Ottawa with Mr. Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States of America.
During this meeting, Speaker Hastert presented me with a book of thanks from his colleagues in the House of Representatives in Washington.
The book containing the messages of thanks from the U.S. House of Representatives to the people of Canada will be available for hon. members to look at.
I invite members to look at this book, which will be on a lectern in the antechamber inside the main entrance off the south corridor.
