Talk:Dean of the House (Canada)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If Herb Gray was Bill Blaikie's predecessor as Dean of the House, then clearly there is no requirement for the Dean to not sit in Cabinet (Gray was Deputy PM). I'm removing that restriction.

Just to make my own personal note, Herb Gray wasn't Bill Blaikie's direct predecessor. Gray retired in 2002, so that made Charles Caccia Dean for two years until he too retired in 2004 prior to the 2004 election. Even after that, Blaikie wasn't officially Dean, since David Kilgour had been serving since 1979 as well. Now, though, he is officially Dean.
