On the recordOctober 28, 1997
I would like to finally thank all the members of the staff on both sides of the aisle. For many of my colleagues who are not aware, many of these young people spent numerous weekends away from their relatives, family, and friends, in order to make sure that this extraordinarily complicated bill came together. With great personal sacrifice and, in this gentleman's humble opinion, the financial remuneration that goes to these staff people does not offset the intrusion into their private lives, I think we are very fortunate to have a competent and capable staff who are able to work many of these issues late into the night and day in and day out for weeks and weeks. I would feel that I was derelict in my responsibilities, Mr. Speaker, if I did not express my sincere gratitude and thanks for all the staff people who helped put this bill together.
