Hon. J. A. MacLean (Malpeque):
Mr. Speaker, I want to take advantage of this occasion to make a brief statement. It is a matter of personal privilege for me to say that I am resigning my seat in this House effective midnight tonight in order to contest a seat in the legislature in my home province of Prince Edward Island, where I have been chosen provincial leader of the Progressive Conservative Party.

Mr. MacLean:
I would like to record my deep appreciation to you, Mr. Speaker, and to all the members and staff of this House for the many courtesies extended to me on so many occasions. I will miss the many friendships I have been fortunate to enjoy among you.
I will, of course, miss working in the parliamentary associations in which I have been active, and I will miss my work as chairman of the Standing Committee on Management and Members Services and the close association this entailed with the Commissioners of Internal Economy.
Whatever the future holds, I hope I may be able to retain at least most of the friendships I have enjoyed here. Let me wish you all continuing good health and satisfaction in your respective responsibilities to our country.

October 19, 1976
Mr. MacLean:
While 1 consider my new responsibilities a great challenge, it is naturally not without regrets that I leave this chamber after 25 years' service. I will especially miss the honour of representing the people of the constituency of Malpeque, some of whom were also members of my former constituency of Queen's. They have done me the honour of electing me ten consecutive times to this chamber, thus making me their representative in one third of the parliaments elected since Confederation.

people who are supposed to be more greatly qualified and therefore in a better position to say in what direction our nation should go. After all, we should not break faith with the people we represent.

Mr. MacLean:
Or the mother, as the case may be.
Having said that, I plan to leave this place tomorrow, of course with many regrets. I remember the friendships I have made here over the years. I hope I shall have the opportunity to come back to visit my friends on the Hill.
