Mr. Speaker, I would be remiss if I did not mention an event as important as the 50th anniversary of the University of Ottawa's civil law program.
Last week, some 350 graduates of this program gathered together in the capital to mark this important milestone in the history of the university.
The most illustrious graduates of this program include of course the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada and her colleague, Michel Bastarache. A total of 13 provincial and federal current ministers are graduates of the University of Ottawa's civil law program.
I would invite hon. members to join me in urging Dean Louis Perret to continue the excellent work that has produced such fine results.
