So some old friends, such as Health Minister Judy La Marsh, will be miss ing from this series this year; other old friends have resigned or been defeated: in the place of some, we welcome newcom- ers like Walter Foy of Sarnia, or returning former MPs like Colin Cameron of Nanaimo To all those whe have kindly aceepted my invitation, and dedicated the time to ex- press . their most interests views to the wide spre: "Thomson" readers, I want te say avery .sincere "Thank you," and assure them that their comments are informa tive, stimulating, thought-ore voking and especially a valued glimpse "Inside Parliament."
