With the indulgence of the Senate, I would like to pass on to the Senate a comment that was made yesterday. At the conclusion of the condolence motion to Senator Ferris yesterday, I received a phone call from a former minister in this place who had listened to the debate all afternoon. She passed on to me her terrific admiration of the way the condolence motion was debated yesterday and said it reminded her of what a great institution this place is. I concur with that. I thought the debate yesterday was genuine and sincere and I congratulate all those who participated in it.
