Honourable senators will be aware that although for many years Senator Phillips found politics and dentistry rather compatible professions, he never had any difficulty crossing over from his admonitions to those seated in the dentist chair, to the remonstrances he has so often, so plentifully, so colourfully and so forcefully, delivered to those across the aisle in either chamber, and perhaps, on occasion, particularly when he served as his party's whip, to his own colleagues on the same side of the aisle.
Les honorables sénateurs se rappelleront que si, pendant de nombreuses années, le sénateur Phillips a su harmoniser la politique et la dentisterie, il n'a jamais eu de mal à passer de ses admonitions aux clients de son cabinet aux remontrances qu'il a si souvent, si abondamment, si éloquemment et si puissamment adressées à ses adversaires des deux Chambres et, peut-être, à l'occasion, à l'époque où il était whip de son parti, à ses propres collègues.
