Traditionally the Speaker does not refer to individual members. However, I must say that when the hon. member came to see me yesterday and gave me the bad news, or the good news for him and his family I guess, I thought back on the number of years we served together. I remember one time we were sitting somewhere over here, and he had just been elected. I was sitting in the same area. His comment was, “You never miss a chance to pick at the low-lying fruit.” Mr. member of Parliament, you have been out of this world, and you are leaving a big, black hole in this Parliament with your departure. I do not think I can say much more than that, but I thank him for all his years of service. It has been wonderful both for Parliament and for the country. It is my duty, pursuant to Standing Order 38, to inform the House that the questions to be raised tonight at the time of adjournment are as follows: the hon. member for Courtenay—Alberni, Health; the hon. member for North Okanagan—Shuswap, Seniors; the hon. member for Dufferin—Caledon, Carbon Pricing.
