Welcome to my website. I hope you are able to find useful information in here about my work in Parliament, over the last 28 years. In my current role as Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons I do not have the opportunity to put questions to the government, or participate in debate, so there isn’t the constant source of new material for the site that my activity in the  House used to provide.  However, I do make speeches outside Parliament, write articles from time to time, and have articles written about me, or which refer to me.  We will try to post these as they arise.

Now that an election has been called and I will soon be officially retired from my position as the MP for Elmwood-Transcona there will be some changes to the way that e-mail generated from this site will be dealt with, until such time as the site disappears altogether.

Opinions on issues continue to be welcome but, because we are in the process of decommissioning my office and going through 29 years of files, not all e-mails may be responded to personally in the way that I have been able to in the past.
