By-election victory of Sheila Copps
July 18, 1996
Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien made the following statement
tonight, following the by-election victory of Sheila Copps in
Hamilton East:
"I wish to congratulate Sheila Copps on her new mandate
from the people of Hamilton East. Sheila put herself through
the ultimate test in a democratic system - subjecting herself
and her actions to the verdict of her constituents. For a fourth
time, the people of Hamilton East have given her a strong vote
of confidence. They recognize that Sheila's honesty, intelligence,
commitment and determination have served, and will continue to
serve, their constituency - and all Canadians - well.
I look forward to Sheila's return to Parliament, and to welcoming
her back to Cabinet."
