You can't stand up for Canada with a banana for a backbone.

I have one love - Canada; one purpose - Canada's greatness; one aim - Canadian unity from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

Parliament is more than procedure - it is the custodian of the nation's freedom.

I was criticized for being too much concerned with the average Canadians. I can't help that; I am one of them!

When you come to Parliament on your first day, you wonder how you ever got here. After that, you wonder how the other 263 members got here.

I have always been a House of Commons man.

There can be no dedication to Canada's future without a knowledge of its past.
