Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay a final tribute to the hon. Ian Watson, who left us on April 2 at the age of 88. Mr. Watson sat in the House of Commons from 1963 to 1984 in the governments of Lester B. Pearson, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Joe Clark and John Turner. He was elected seven times, first in the riding of Châteauguay—Huntington—Laprairie, then Laprairie and, finally, Châteauguay. During his political career, he was parliamentary secretary for a number of departments, including National Revenue and Urban Affairs. A great optimist, Ian Watson believed in the power of politics to make lasting and positive changes in people's lives. I offer my sincere condolences to the Watson family, to his many friends who sat in the House and to all of his constituents, whom Mr. Watson represented energetically throughout his political career.
