The United States and Canada: Reaffirming the Partnership President Clinton Remarks to the Canadian Parliament, Ottawa, Canada, February 23, 1995 I thank the Prime Minister and all of you for welcoming me to this magnificent capital city. The Prime Minister first came to this chamber to represent the people of Canada when President Kennedy was in the White House. I resent that because when President Kennedy was in the White House, I was in junior high school--and now the Prime Minister has less gray hair than I do. He does, in spite of the fact that since that time he has occupied nearly every seat in his nation's cabinet. The first time I met him, I wondered why this guy could not hold down a job. My wife has visited Toronto, and we had a wonderful, wonderful family vacation in Western Canada--in Victoria and Vancouver back in 1990--one of the best times that all of us have ever had together anywhere. We are deeply indebted to your culture. Our daughter's name was inspired by Canadian songwriter Joni Mitchell's wonderful song, Chelsea Morning.
