Quotes

• “On a craggy bluff above the majestic Ottawa River stands the remarkable embodiment of our system of governance: Parliament.”
• “" as I became Speaker in 1986, I made a point of setting up a public information office to respond to requests and provide information about Parliament and how it functions."”
• “The House Of Commons has never been a tea-party. It consists of strong-minded, often very idealistic people, who are trying to accomplish something for our country. We are inheritors of an adversarial system and that, in itself, fosters conflict.”
• “In the long and dogged crusade that the human race has fought in favor of democracy, the ideal of liberty, of freedom, has always been the goal.”
• “Democracy is not a form of government. It is a political philosophy that can be embodied in various systems of government.”
• “But while the American Constitution was the child of war, ours grew out of discussion, bargaining and negotiation.”
