Mr. Speaker, as members of the House, we are all given the remarkable gift of having our words etched in time. I believe the highest honour we can bestow upon someone is to say their name in the House. I rise today to speak of my dear friend and longest-serving staff member Malcolm Montgomery, who passed away in November after 31 years of service to Parliament. He was my first campaign chair and a big reason a riding held by Liberals for over 80 years fell to the upstart of the Canadian Alliance. Malcolm put in long hours and put up with a demanding boss because he was filled with passion. He was passionate about politics, policy and Parliament. He was passionate about Canada, Canadians and our history. He was passionate about his community, his friends and above all his family: his wife Debbie and his children, Gord, Cameron and Neil. To meet Malcolm was to experience the full force of his enthusiasm for life. While Malcolm is no longer with us, the House will remember him eternally.
