Privilege  Madam Speaker, I want to start by thanking the member for New Westminster—Burnaby, the House leader for the NDP, for the measured tone he is taking in this conversation, both in his comments this afternoon and yesterday, and for the substance as well. I think the approach he has

Retirement Congratulations  Mr. Speaker, 24 years ago, Mary Jane Patterson left TV production to study at the University of Waterloo.
