I would also like to draw to the attention of all hon. members that Mr. Rob Walsh, our Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel, will be taking a well-deserved retirement early in the new year, after more than 20 years of faithful and dedicated service to the House, including 18 years as a table officer.
He has provided wise counsel to the House, its committees, the Board of Internal Economy, and many individual members over the years.
Mr. Walsh is sitting at the table right now and I know you will all join me in saluting his long and successful career on Parliament Hill.
