Madam Chairman, in the spirit of the work that was done here tonight, as the parliamentary secretary talked about, as parliamentarians we are here doing a job for our electorate and they expect us to be here. However, we have a tremendous amount of staff who have hung in here with us tonight, the pages, the clerks, the Speakers, the security guards. They deserve a round of applause. We could not do it without them.
In the House of Commons on June 4th, 2002. See this statement in context.
