Even though it is where 'their' elected representatives go to conduct 'their' business. This video features the Speaker of the House, Gilbert Parent, and his personal presentation into the rich and colourful history of that House. Through narrative and anecdote, the Speaker takes viewers on a most unique tour of the House of Commons, explaining its role in shaping Canada, as well as the official role of the Speaker as the 'honest broker' and arbitrator who himself represents the people in the face of political pressures. Many Canadians don't seem to appreciate the magnificent experiment that this country represents and the remarkable achievements that have been made, especially in terms of governing, since its inception. Speaker Parent's presentation brings the details to light in a moving and informative way that will get viewers to start thinking that this House really is 'theirs', and, even more, that it is 'OURS' all of OURS! Provides rare insight into the House and what it means to be Canadian.
