Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it is Valentine's Day today and we talk about the love and affection between sweethearts, partners, spouses, husbands, and wives, but I think it is also a good day to celebrate the love between parents and children. Mr. Speaker, it was four years ago yesterday that I received news that my father, who I was very close to, had suddenly passed away in Ontario. So Valentine's Day always reminds me of that anniversary.

In considering what to do after receiving that news, I had decided to stay here. How much I appreciated the support of the Members as the House was in session at that time and all of the kindnesses they extended to me. So today, I also think of our colleague from the Deh Cho, the honourable Member, Mr. Michael McLeod, who just recently lost his father. I think on behalf of the Members here, I would like to offer our sincere condolences to the McLeod family.

I did not know Michael McLeod's father, but I do see in his children that he must have been a good father and a good person, and we would just like to extend our condolences to his family. Thank you.
