We heard it from her again this afternoon. I join colleagues in thanking her for her service to this country over the last 26 years. We are all better for it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8113743\" data-originallang=\"en\">One aspect of her advocacy I particularly appreciated was her advocacy for improving our democracy through electoral reform. As a parting thought, I would love to hear more from her, if she would be open to sharing with us her reflections, on how to continue to move forward on electoral reform.</p>",

Elle nous l\u2019a r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9 cet apr\u00e8s-midi. Je me joins \u00e0 mes coll\u00e8gues pour la remercier des services qu\u2019elle a rendus \u00e0 notre pays au cours des 26 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. Nous en sommes tous gagnants.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8113743\" data-originallang=\"en\">J\u2019ai particuli\u00e8rement appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 son plaidoyer en faveur de l\u2019am\u00e9lioration de notre d\u00e9mocratie gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la r\u00e9forme \u00e9lectorale. En terminant, j\u2019aimerais qu\u2019elle nous fasse part de ses r\u00e9flexions sur la fa\u00e7on d'aller de l'avant dans le dossier de la r\u00e9forme \u00e9lectorale.</p>"
