I welcome the family Senator Swanick mentioned, in particular Grace. Orphan drugs are important. As a former chair of a joint committee it is an issue of which I am very aware. I would be happy for the Minister to come to the House regarding the important issue he raised.

Before Senator Norris leaves us, it is our intention to pay tribute to him tomorrow on the Order of Business given the longevity of his service. I will make further comments tomorrow. I have always found Senator Norris a very kind and genuine Member of the House. One can disagree with him politically, but I have always found him to be a very genuine and caring person.
