I do not know if honourable senators have read Renegade in Power by Peter C. Newman, but he talked about executive assistants; that is, this group of young people like David Smith, David Angus and Brian Mulroney, as they then were on the hill, and one old guy, Mel Jack, who was the dean of the political staff.
Honorables sénateurs, j'ignore si vous avez lu Renegade in Power, de Peter C. Newman, mais il y est question des adjoints administratifs, un groupe composé de jeunes hommes, comme David Smith, David Angus et Brian Mulroney, qui étaient déjà sur la Colline du Parlement à l'époque, et d'un vieux, Mel Jack, le doyen du personnel politique.
