First of all, thank you, Mr. Speaker. This truly was a surprise. I had no indication of this. Earlier today we heard that there would be an opportunity to properly bring thanks for the amazing years that I have had in this House with all of you, and with many members who I have served with since 2006 who are no longer here. It has been a tremendous honour and privilege to serve as a servant of the members of this House.
It has been a great honour for my family and me to have the privilege of serving the House of Commons.
I see several members standing.
The hon. Leader of the Opposition.
