On the recordMay 13, 1998
As you can see, we have taken on a lot of tasks and have a great deal of involvement, e-mail, we are getting a chat room, and we are trying to catch up with the modern times. I would like to recognize the Honorable Robert Whan, representing the Association of Former Members of the Parliament of Australia, accompanied by his wife Jill. They came all the way from Australia to be with us. Could you please stand up and be recognized? And the Honorable Barry Turner, who is president of the Canadian Association of Former Parliamentarians. Barry has been with us three or four times. Barry, please. Obviously, there are thanks to the officers and the counselors. I will not take the time to name everybody individually. But it was a great team effort. The auxiliary headed by Chris LaRocco has done a great job. We are pleased with the Caring Institute, who is our landlord; thanks to Frank Moss and Val Halamandaris, the president of it, who have been wonderful to work with. Senator, thank you very much for your help over there. And of course, we mentioned Linda Reed and Walt Raymond. Now it is my sad duty to inform the House of those persons who have served in the Congress and passed away since our report last year; and, unfortunately, the list is somewhat long.
