There was a period of 30 or 40 years that our paths didn't cross, but I was certainly aware of his work, particularly in the commissions of inquiry, because I knew his brother very well, Mr. Bill Hughes, who is also my uncle.

I thought, Mr. Speaker, it would be appropriate for me to say some words, because I have been a Member of this House since we had our first Conflict of Interest Commissioner.

Over the years, I have worked with a number of different Conflict Commissioners, and I have to say that Mr. Hughes, in my opinion, has been the most professional.
