Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize five colleagues who collectively have given more than 50 years of service to Canadians and are now moving on from federal politics.
First, I recognize the member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie for his unmatched environmental and climate advocacy.
I also commend the member for Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot—Acton for his work as an opposition member and, if I may, for his great taste in ties. I also want to thank the member for Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie for his work as an opposition member and for his impressive commitment to his riding.
I also recognize the member for Beaches—East York for his thoughtful and powerful voice in this House.
Finally, I recognize the member for North Vancouver—Capilano for his steadfast commitment to climate, natural resources and the environment.
I thank them for their service to democracy.
