Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to wish my colleague the very, very best on behalf of all New Democrats. The member and I are not on the same team, but I will say that when we speak together, we see things very similarly. I have enjoyed learning from him and working with him at the interparliamentary committee and the Canada-Africa Parliamentary Association. I really cannot say enough about his patience, calmness and impartiality as the chair of the foreign affairs committee, which colleagues can imagine has become fiery on several occasions. I want to thank him for his service to this country, and I also want to thank his family for their sacrifice and commitment.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Edmonton Strathcona for her service, her friendship and her vision of making not only Canada better but the world better. She and I share much common ground and many commonalities on the project that she is pursuing. I may not have been able to pursue it as vigorously within my own camp until now, but we share it profoundly. I deeply appreciate her comments on behalf of the NDP. I look forward to remaining in close contact.

Mr. Speaker, as a new member representing the Bloc Québécois in the Inter-Parliamentary Union, and on behalf of all my colleagues, I would like to wish him the very best in his new endeavours at the United Nations. In a world context that reminds us that we must work as much as possible across party lines to promote peace, I sincerely wish him good luck and thank him, on behalf of the Bloc Québécois, for all his years of service. I simply regret not having had the chance to work longer with him in the Inter-Parliamentary Union.

Mr. Speaker, as chief government whip, I want to speak on behalf of all Liberal colleagues in the House, and hopefully indeed all colleagues in the House, to say the member for MIssissauga—Lakeshore represents the very best of us. He was a member elected in what will prove to be an incredibly productive class of 2015 in this place. He is going to serve Canada with great distinction, with great honour and, as my previous colleague said, with great humility across the world. His respect for this institution and for the people in it is manifest today. I know he is a deep, abiding and lasting credit to the great institution that is the Liberal Party of Canada, and I know he will return to it often. I thank him.
