Mr. Speaker, as we all know, our consensus form of government presents many unique and varied challenges, and Mr. Hamilton's dedication, work ethic, common sense approach and sense of humour have helped to guide us through the good times and the bad. For this, I am sure we are all very thankful.
In addition to his duties as Clerk of the House, Mr. Hamilton has also served on the following organizations in an exemplary fashion: Elections Canada, as the chief electoral officer for the NWT; the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association; and, the Canadian Association of Clerks-at-the-Table.
Mr. Hamilton, I hope your next ten years are just as productive. Not bad for a wee lad from bonny Scotland. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
