I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the “Selected Decisions of Speaker Peter Milliken”.
This new reference work on parliamentary procedure is the eighth volume in a collection of Speakers' rulings and includes 228 rulings.
Mr. Milliken has the distinction of being the longest-servicing Speaker of the House of Commons, with a 10-year tenure, which began in the first session of the 37th Parliament and lasted until the end of the 40th Parliament.
Over the course of his mandate, Mr. Milliken acted as Speaker during both Conservative and Liberal governments, a testament to the respect he earned for his understanding of the procedures, traditions, and usages of the House of Commons.
On this special occasion, we are honoured today by the presence in the gallery of the Hon. Peter Milliken, distinguished former Speaker of the House.
