Earlier, several eloquent statements by members paid tribute to a great Canadian who is with us today. However, I must remind the House that television is a visual medium and that in order to get the shot of him in the gallery today, it is the Chair who must draw to the attention of hon. members the presence in the gallery of Mr. Don Newman, who retires today after a long and distinguished career. He will be sorely missed.
On behalf of all members, I pay tribute to him and congratulate him on his illustrious career.
