I would like to take a moment to add to the remarks of hon. members in recognition of Heather Bradley's upcoming retirement.
In my role, I was privileged to receive advice from Heather, a consummate professional with the gift of wisdom, intelligence and tact.
Heather has that singular gift of great leadership to steer one in the right direction without feeling pushed in any way.
Under Heather's leadership, we also achieved greater transparency and efficiency in our communications. She helped Speakers of the House fulfill their roles more effectively and become more informed about parliamentary procedure and traditions.
Heather almost always had the answers, and if not, she knew exactly who to talk to. Her contact list was amazing, a veritable who's who of Parliament Hill.
We thank Heather for her decades of service. We hope that retirement brings her time to enjoy her beautiful family and many friends, as well as time to reflect on the legacy of excellence, kindness and everything else that she brought to this place.
